what are the little things in life that make you happy?

things that make you smile that really shouldnt make you happy -- and, odds are, wouldnt make anyone else happy, but for whatever reason, you get a real kick out of?

having exact change for something?
finding a dollar in your pocket?
tuning into your tv show just as it begins?

stuff like that

Ooh! I got another one!

When I wake up naturally a minute before my alarm is set to go off.

lets see

  • walkin up to the microwave to grab my food JUST as the timer runs out.
  • not having to slow down at a traffic light, cuz it turns green just in time.
  • turning on the news or a baseball game, and hearing the announcer say, "well, if you're just tuning in..."

I don't know if this qualifies as a major event or not, but I do love it when I find some decent comic books in the old 25 cent bin at the lcoal comics shop.

That and a new video game on sale is most enjoyable.

One time I turned on the TV and Chuck Norris was there.

Not on TV, he was standing next to me.

Hrm........good question! Hearing from random people I knew back in high school or college that find me out of the blue.

That song that comes over the radio that I really like and know by heart (and yes this includes Kelly Clarkson songs thus the "nobody else would like" ;P)! Being able to sing along with the windows of my car down. Feeling the wind whisp through my hair and sunshine dance across my face.

When I'm teaching and the kid that's been giving me problems, smiles and says, "I get it miss.....first time this year" and then shows the person next to them how to do something.

And last but not least: Running REALLY hard on a treadmill....most soothing/relaxing/best stress reliever God ever did create. Nothing like time standing still, your mind clearing, and getting thinner in the process!

Happy babies. When I'm in a restaurant and I see a cute, jolly baby all happy and loved. Then I make a happy face and the baby smiles and laughs and copies my face. Then it does that "happy baby dance" where it kinda thrashes around wherever it's sitting. Happy babies make me chuckle.

Random emails or phone calls from friends I haven't seen or heard from in a while. Particularly from my best friend in college and his wife. No matter how long it's been since we've spoken, we never have problems catching up. On that theme, random calls from the members of these boards who have my number make the list. PJP generally calls me on Margarita Night, demanding that I come down so he can buy me a drink. That shit cracks me up.

Waking up in the morning before my alarm goes off, realizing I have at least an hour before I have to actually get up, and rolling over and going back to sleep. That magic hour of sleep-time is AWESHOME!!!

Discovering a new band/author/director/movie/etc. Or having someone introduce me to the same.

Cool photoshops and photos. I have no skills with photoshop, so when I see a really well-done photoshopped image, I just shake my head and silently give props. TK's Magic cards and the random shit Nowhereman comes up with are examples. The random pics that Sneaky Bunny sends generally makes me laugh. She is one sadistic bitch when drunk. Drunk Sneaky Bunny + Drunk Friends of Sneaky Bunny + digital camera = Comedy Gold.

The smell of asphalt after a light rain always reminds me of being a kid and playing Little League Baseball (or pick-up games with the neighborhood kids). I like that.

Finding money in the washing machine

The first five minutes in a hot shower

Reading through a new RPG book for the first time

That warm happy feeling I get in my belly when I haves me a White Russian or any other alcoholic beverage

The morning woody. You know what I'm talkin' 'bout, fellas!

Also, finding paper currency on the sidewalk. A week or so ago, I found 6 bucks, which at the time (payday being a couple days off), was a big deal for me.

good comedy: maybe its a great comedy club/comedian or just some random joke. either way, its that one thing that doesn't just give you endless chuckles but the "holy shit i'm gonna piss myself anf throw up" laughter. giving that to people, having it myself, or just watching someone go through it makes me all giddy.

sitting on my front porch on a fall/summer afternoon watching the various kids play up and down the street and as the night grows closer all the parents coming out and yelling "timmy get your ass back here and put yoru bike away its time to eat". the ride of shame the kid takes back home to its angry mother always makes me laugh and the fact i'll be that heartless bitch someday.

the brighteyed smile on my nephews face when he's over playing with all my old school trucks. and when he's "gone missing" finding him playing inthe kitchen with the mop, singing along to whatevers on the radio, and asking him what he's doing "helping you clean banana! tee hee" with thehappy baby dance which has been modded with a booty pop. (his mother still can't believe i taught him that)


strolling the boardwalks enjoying the breeze off hte lake, hte smell of actual fresh air, and not the 30+ soft chem plants across the river.

and laying back on one of the park benches with a nice book and watching the traffic pass over the bridge to canada.



coming home, finding that all the housework has been done.

that i didn't have to bring work home.

any girl can relate to this; coming home after a long day and the first thing you do is rip off that horrid bra


And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

Yup.

The laughter of my soon-to-be three year old godson - there is something about the laughter of that little kid that just brings a smile to my face. He's also at the stage where he repeats things he's heard ("Mommy, do you still have cramps? Because I was beside myself!") that crack me up because he doesn't understand how inappropriate certain things he says are.

Finding money in a jeans pocket that I didn't know was there.

An unexpected phone call/e-mail from a friend that I haven't heard from in ages.

Realizing that I don't have to go to court for an entire week. Seriously.

Not having to wait for a treadmill to be open in a crowded gym.

Having a bartender buy me a drink.

Having a free night with no plans where I can curl up and read a book.

Getting the last pair of cool shoes in my size at a sale.

There are a lot of little things that are good.



Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
