Six Things that Make Me Happy - When I Grow Up

Six Things that Make Me Happy - When I Grow Up Its Shut Off Your Brain day today (that should be an official holiday). With 8 whole people in my office, a drizzly cold mist over NYC and me stuck in at work to support people who arent here, I was just going to skip the post this week and wish everyone a Happy Channakwanzakkuh and be back with Freaking (Great Links) Friday. Then I came across this post and wanted to indulge myself by joining in, too. Its hard to limit myself to just Six Things that Make Me Happy, but here they are: 1. Snuggling on the couch with my babeh No, he usually doesnt come with a robe and a teaset (nor is he usually in a cabin in a rainforest) but that doesnt matter to me. Lying down on the couch and watching TV or a movie with Luke is one of the things I do that make me happiest. Add some popcorn and wine and Id never leave the house. 2. A bubble bath, complete with a great novel/fashion magazine and a good glass of wine (Rubby Ducky not entirely necesary) I can stay here for  hours. Add some quiet jazzy-like tunes and I may just take a nap. 3. Seeing a show with my Mom   A meal and a show always makes for a special day with my Mom. On Sunday were seeing Pal Joey on Broadway and I think she has something up her sleeve for my birthday on 1/14, if I let her. Weve been to hundreds of shows together but each one is special. 4. Grilled cheese with tomato on rye bread Yes, I love a good lobster, but give me grilled cheese with tomato on rye Im not fancy, Im from Strong Island. Throw in some sweet potato fries and I might die from happiness. 5. The Boiler Room Episode on My So-Called Life My favorite episode on any TV series ever. Ask any woman in their late 20s-mid 30s about Jordan Catalano and listen to all the collective sighs. 6. D*** in a Box I kept this on my DVR until we had to turn it in, since it guaranteed me milk-coming-out-of-my-nose laughs at every viewing, even when a viewing turned into dozens of viewings. I still think the censored version is funnier you can view it here. This Christmas Eve, think about Six Things that Make Your Happy and make sure you have time for them before the New Year. Or make sure theyre included in your plans for 09. Or leave me a comment and share them. Or write your own list on your own blog. Really, there are multiple things for you to do with this list. Enjoy your holidays this week!
