10 Things That Make Me Happy

Thanks Em for the tag! She challenged me to come up with ten things that make me happy so here goes:


1. Blog Friends. This is gonna sound corny, a little sad, and maybe more than a bit kissie uppie, but one of the things that makes me happy are the blog friends that I have been fortunate enough to have emailed, talked to on the phone or let into my life via social networking sites. I'm proud to say that not one of you good people is a psychopath and I haven't felt the need to get any restraining orders or to change my email address. For that, I feel blessed.

Seriously though, some of you have been as good as friends to me as the ones I see in the flesh on a daily basis and you've helped me get through some difficult times and grapple with some difficult issues. Thank you.

2. SuzyQs. What's not to like?

3. The Boyfriend. I think I'm probably the most well-loved woman on the planet and that makes me very, very happy.

4. My Church. I've been a Christian for most of my adult life but I've been of the conservative evangelical variety. Now, I'm one of those uber-liberal heretics that your pastor warned you about and I love it!

5. Not working for soul-sucking Corporate America. Okay, not all of Corporate America is soul-sucking. I'm just happy I'm no longer working for one particular company that seemed determined to wring every ounce of life out of my decaying spirit.

6. Brim's Cheese Puffs. Brim's kicks Frito Lay's ass. Sorry, they're a local company though, originating right here in the Bible Belt, as evidenced by the page on their website entitled "Everlasting Life", where you can learn about the 4 Spiritual Laws complete with diagrams.

7. Facebook. I spend way more time on Facebook than any grown woman should.

8. Cooking. It makes me ecstatic when people thoroughly enjoy a dish that I've made. Cooking is also how I show someone I care. Just ask The Boyfriend!

9. Snow Days. For the first time in my life, I am working for an organization that has an inclement weather policy. That means when our local school system is closed due to snow, then so are our offices. Such a beautiful policy.

10. Chocolate. No further explanation is needed.

I also found true happiness in being an uber-liberal heretic. I just don't know if there's a church that can handle me in these parts. :)

Angela, I am so happy to hear from you again! So you found work again, that is wonderful. And Boyfriend loves you (I remember him calling you Beyoncé), and you do sound happy and cheerful. I am glad you got in touch again! Your Angela (talking of Christians - the veri word says grace, so there!)
