Things that make me happy TODAY!

I am home, in my own house, sitting on my own couch, watching my own TV and snuggled up in my own Dallas Stars blanket.

While I do like to get away, to me, the best part of vacations will always be the coming home part.

So, in no particular order, and making no particular sense, these are a few things that are making me happy RIGHT NOW, at 4:18 PM on November 29, 2008.

• I am home. HOME! In Arlington, Texas.
• Starbucks Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate.
• Genie Jean who snuggled with me all night while I was sick.
• The nice cold weather and the brisk breeze - my windows wide open and sleeping under an electric blanket. That is BLISS, I tell you.
• The dishes are done.
• There is no leftover turkey, green bean casserole or yams in my fridge. I DO miss the leftover stuffing and gravy though.
• I got a nice check in the mail. SCORE!
• Microwave popcorn.
• All my pups are happy and healthy. Lorrie took excellent care of them all. Plus I think Molly gained five pounds.
• Whatever sickness I had yesterday is just about over. Thank God.
• It's the parent's ACTUAL 50th Wedding Anniversary. No fighting today please. Try smacking each other on the butt.
