Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

... on a Monday? WTF is wrong with me? ;) Ha!

Well, apparently I was nominated for a blog award over the weekend: Happy 101 award. Yes, Katee over at Not Just 9 to 5 (go check out her blog and read up on her JACKtionary and try not to giggle - I dare you!) nominated me and while I've been blogging for years and years, I've never partaken in one of these but why not? 

Rules of the award:

1. copy and paste the award on your blog.

2. list who gave the award to you and list a link to her blog (or hyperlink).

3. list 10 things that make you happy.

4. pass the award on to other bloggers and visit their blog to let them know about the award



Things that make me happy:

1. My Lovie. Absolutely everything about her brings so much joy and happiness into my life that I can't even put it into words. But that's probably a given, no?

2. McDonald's Ice Coffees and Coca-colas. There's other things from McDonald's that make me happy but their Iced Coffees and Cokes are definitely tops on the list.

3. Jays BBQ Potato Chips.

4. Bryan Adams music.

5. A sexy picture of Brad Pitt and/or Taye Diggs.

6. Being witness to a child and adult interact.

7. Children happily playing. Honest to god, nothing warms this old heart more than watching a kid joyfully riding his bike or playing hop scotch or just discovering something new.

8. Spending time with my grandmother.

9. Ice cream.

10. Remember my wedding day.

Is it sad that this wasn't an easy list to come up with? I mean, yeah sure it could've been a breeze to name 10 things about Lovie that makes me happy but to come up with 10 separate things?! Eek, I blame it on Monday! :)

OK so now for my nominations (and forgive me if you've done this already):
