Happiness Is....

Photobucket


Happy Saturday!  I am participating in Mamarazzi's "Happy List" weekly post.  Sometimes the simplest things make me happy.  Last night we went to Target.  No, that isn't what made me happy.  It's what I got that made me happy.  A lamp.  Yep.  A simple floor lamp.

We have one already in our family room but it isn't quite enough. I need light and lots of it.  We spend the majority of our time in the family room.  You know, where the TV is.  And there just isn't a lot of natural light in there. So I got a lamp.  It has two lights.  A lesser for reading.  It is perfect.  It made me so happy. Another thing about it that makes me happy is how easy the switch works.  The other lamp actually has a wrapper attached to the switch to make turning it somewhat easier.  Yeah a total redneck fix. 

Sleeping in also makes me happy.  I only get to do it once a week.  And I savor it.
What makes you happy?

Staying in my nightgown and robe all day when it's raining and the husband is away makes me happy!

Sleeping in is glorious! And light is the best thing in the world. Really. I am seriously depressed without light so your lamp makes me happy for you as well.

We can use some additional lighting in our living room, one day I will get around to doing something about it.

Sleeping in? What is that? One day, I will get around to doing that too!

Have a great weekend!

Nice lamp! Our living room ceiling is wood so any lights we have in there get eaten! :(

Oh sleep, that sounds wonderful, can't wait to do that again in about a year or so. And you pretty much nailed what makes me happy: Target! I love that place.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
