Let's have a cocktail and celebrate, shall we? Simone, over at The Bottom of the Ironing Basket, posts the most beautiful images and quotes on her blog. It makes me happy just to see the amazing photos of dresses, places, and people. So how appropriate that she should award me with the uber-cute Happy 101 Award...given to bloggers who make you smile! I'm pretty happy that I'm making Simone happy since she makes me so happy...ah, such warm fuzzies abound around here today! Now, I am to share 10 things that make me...you guessed it...happy.
10. Cupcakes: I'm not sure what's up with my obsession with cupcakes, but they make me smile. They're just cute and girlie and yummy. And if they happen to be the red velvet cake kind, all the better.

9. Disney World: Yes, it's overpriced. Yes, it's exhausting. Yes, it's over the top. But I love it. Every bit of it. I'm a sucker for the magic.

8. Getting my hair colored: I know, I'm shallow, but nothing puts a spring in my step like a fresh set of golden highlights. And if there happens to be a pink streak in there, all the better.

.
7. Words: I'm a word nerd. I love words. Words are tangible, alive, powerful. Finding just the right one makes me happy.
.

6. Make-up: I'm not one of those women who refuses to leave her house without make up. I wear my naked face with pride. But make-up makes me happy. There's something fun and creative and whimsical about palettes of eye shadow and tubes of lipstick. And if there happens to be a hint of glitter in it, all the better.

5. Vacations: Planning them, going on them, remembering them...nothing better on which to spend my money.

4. The beach: There is no place on earth I'd rather be. There's something about the sand and the ocean...it soothes my soul. And yes, even at 90+ degrees and the infamous South Florida humidity, I'm happy. Give me an umbrella, a cooler, and plenty of SPF...and I am a happy, happy girl.

3. Shoes: It doesn't matter if they hurt. If they are fabulous, they make me happy.
2. My kids: The irony of this one? The boys would also be on the "10 Things That Drive Me Crazy List" too!
.
.
1. And the number one thing that makes me happy? Hubby. I'm one of the lucky ones.
