- Saying, "I feel like I look gross today" and Christian says, "Really? I think you look great."
- Saying something funny and Christian makes a face like he's trying not to laugh, but then he can't help it and he laughs anyway.
- Warm, sunny, windy weather in January.
- Thinking about the fact that LOST starts only one week {!!} from today.
- Thinking about the patio garden I'm going to have this spring.
- My formula for the perfect Cookout meal: hamburger {lettuce/tomato/cheese/mustard/mayo}, fries, onion rings, a large Coke, an extra order of hush puppies, ranch and mustard to dip everything in, and two spoonfuls of Christian's milkshake.
- Eating my Cookout leftovers the next day.
- Pulling something out of the back of my closet and looking awesome in it.
- The smell of my new Yes To Carrots shampoo and conditioner.
- Blog comments. {That's not a hint -- it's the truth.}
I haven't been in the greatest mood today, mostly because I {disastrously} tried to paint our dining room last week, and now it's driving me crazy. I thought I would make a Happy List {in the style of Taza, because yes, I am obsessed with The Rockstar Diaries} to try and cheer myself up. After thinking for a while, I realized that I am not a particularly happy person. And I don't think, I know some people reading this are thinking, "It took you this long to figure that out?" But it's something I want to work on. I want to be happier. And I have ideas; suggestions are also welcome.

HAHA! I don't mean to laugh because your not a particularly happy person, I am just exactly the same way.
ReplyDeleteLast night I said to my husband, "I know I am not a kitten or anything." and he said, "no, your definitely not." and then we both laughed.
Mary, I love your blog. I've been following it and should have commented long ago. You and Christian look so happy together!!
ReplyDeleteHurray for happy thoughts, Mary! You are a better person than me, though, because I like to wallow in self pitty for a while and THEN think of happy thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMadeline -- I dislike sometimes when my husband says something that shows that he knows me really well; I think to myself "I wish you didn't know that about me..."
ReplyDeleteJulie -- Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you enjoy our blog, and you're right, Christian and I are exquisitely happy together. :)
Cataran {because sometimes that's what I call you inside my head} -- First of all, there's no way I'm a better person that you. I would swear to it in a courtroom. And second, I definitely did some wallowing before writing this post. I wallowed, got upset with Christian, wallowed some more, and then decided to get over it. Like I said, I need to work on being a happier person.
how does one "work" at being happy?
