It’s that time once again when I follow the dictates of others and join in with a crowd of like minded people in order to get some content worth reading (I hope) posted. So – here’s my latest attempt for Featured_Grownups:

I AM HAPPY WHEN…
Now Don’t Forget
come back here and leave me a link or message so I can add you to the listread and comment as many entries as you can… there has been much traffic with no comments and the idea is to get as many good content posts “featured” as possible… leave a comment for participants..won’t you?be creative… be sincere… be funny ~ it’s up to you
I am happy when:
I wake up to fresh coffee and clean kitchen
When I sit on a warm beach and watch the ocean
When I listen to tourists talk excitedly about Whales, the beach etc – it makes it new for me too
When I spend time with my family doing something we enjoy, even if it’s just playing board games
When I don’t have to cook
When I get an assignment done early and get a good grade on it
When I get good grades period (you all know how anal I am about my grades….)
When I get to spend time with friends
When I see my folks, sister, nieces and nephews and In Laws
When my allergies are under control
When the number on the scale is going down instead of up
When I take a good picture
When a favorite song comes on
When I get scrapbooking pages done
When I read a good book
When NCIS is on
When I don’t have to deal with dentists and orthodontists
When I snuggle with the kitty, play with the dog, or love on the our big boy, Pippin.
When my girls pick up their room and clean their bathroom
And….
When I get lots of comments on my xanga!!!!! (muawahhahahahahahaha)

What makes you happy?
Comments (39)
So here I am, trying to make you happy with a comment! :wink-wink: I love your list. I like a clean kitchen too, and if I don’t have to clean it, it’s even better!
Loved your list :big-smile:
Happy happy happy! Most of these make me happy too…as does commenting on your post! Have a wonderful weekend!
Lots to be happy about…………hugs and have a great Friday……………:dancingcow::birdie:
Most of those make me happy, although I don’t have animals nor tourists on my list. :wink-wink: Good friends make me happy!
Your list was great. The only thing I would add is when the scale goes down a pound. That makes me extremely happy!
I’ll have to do this one over the weekend. Oh I think I have to do Queenie’s blog assignment too. Yikes. Lots to do. I like your list. Especially the ones regarding not cooking, the scale, the ocean and a clean kitchen
At this point, green lights from my son would make me ecstatic. :dancingcow: Didn’t really call for a dancing cow, but I thought that was really cute! I like these new smileys!! :frog: I’ve heard from other parents that his teacher is supposed to be one of the more tolerant ones. Sigh. Talking to my sis last night, and she seems to think he could be ADHD. We shall see…maybe start the path at the pediatrician. Sigh again. And amen to the allergies statement above. I always get worried when I sneeze more than 10 times in a row…that’s usually a prelude to a 3 day allergy stint.
Oh that’s just a fabulous list! I love it!
Sitting on a warm beach and ocean. Must be beautiful there!! Yea, for no cooking!!!
Many of those same things make me happy : ) Fun list!
Great list! Thanks for sharing!
I can identify with being happy with the # on the scales goin gdown…nothing makes me feel better in the morning than to see those numbers go down.
This is a great list and some of them are times for me as well.
ryc: Thanks for stopping in. The picture I used is one of the best from that day; however, I do have a few others that I was thinking of using.
Be Safe!
Loved your list!!:celebrate: you like the “good things” in life!!
Great list.. Thanks for sharing!:big-smile:
Ack! I’ve gotta do my post before I read too many more of these or all the good happiness-causing stuff will be stale! : ):grin:
Wait..you mean to tell me that somebody has kids who actually CLEAN?!?
CRAZY!!! ha,ha…I like your list…even the scrapbook part…I don’t do that, but I think it’s cool.
bless you and your family…and thank your husband for me for serving our country in the Air Force.
blessings…jim
A clean kitchen? I don’t think I remember what that’s like?
I’d love to be on a beach right now. Mmmmm.
I’m glad you find so many things that make you happy!
great post…my girls will be 21 in a few months and I can not wait for them to move…I dream of a clean kitchen, bathroom, ect…now this is a high protien dish…slice 3 cloves of fresh garlic and put in bottom of the bowl…puncture tater with fork and put in bowl…put in microwave for about six mintues…slice tater in half…smash tater some what…put on some butter and open egg just like you would fry it and put on top of the butter…bake about 45 seconds to one mintue…put sliced cheese on top of the egg, important step in case egg does explode cheese holds down, put back in for about 30 to 45 seconds take out and stir really good…enjoy…like I said it is high protien…Smile
awww, this is cute! I just realized tonight, after having a hectic week and finally getting my house clean, I’m happiest when all is in order. I’m all edgy when it’s out of order, and if you’ve seen an unkempt house with 7 kids living in it…this would make perfect sense.
Numbers on the scale going down and a good picture would make me beam!
hey great xanga! with a list like this, surely some of these things must happen somewhat frequently! i guess that’s why they’re what makes you (us) happy. gotta keep it positive.
I’d love to see Drakonskyr post HIS list on this. I doubt it would resemble yours or mine. (Haven’t done mine yet.)
I am SO with you on a lot of these, bue especially #1, #2, and #4!!!
Steve
Wow. I want to sit on a warm beach and feel the ocean. Want to sponsor my move to Hawaii? haha
Lots of happiness here…yay!
Sitting in my clean livingroom with the tv OFF! :frog:
I have it on good authority that some teachers are happy when students earn good grades. An excellent list of happy-worthy moments.
:dancingcow: :dancingcow: :dancingcow: Oh, and dancing cows make me happy.
What a great list :big-smile: I’m happy too when I see the scale go way down :celebrate:
I have not done my happy post yet. You will just have to wait and see. I do love reading a good book though.
Number 11 sure makes me happy too!!!!!
Yip! When allergies are under control I am happy as well
This is a wonderful happy list!
