A Happy List

I'm having a really, really good and super productive day! I'm feeling unusually HAPPY so I thought another happy list would be appropriate.

I'm happy that my hair is finally long enough to wear in pig tails. Or dog ears. Or puppy ears. Or whatever you call them. It probably looks goofy to others, but I like it, and my layers in the front don't fall out like they do when I wear a ponytail.

I'm happy that Glee starts tonight. I'm getting together with some friends after our kids are in bed to watch it. Sooooooo excited!

I'm happy that I'm going to Arkansas this week! I leave Thursday morning! I get to see my new nephew, my sister, my mom, my brother, and LOTS of cousins, aunts, and uncles. Oh, and the Razorbacks!

I'm happy that John's new book comes out TODAY! I'm going to do a giveway soon--stay tuned.

I'm happy that my fantasy football team is ROCKIN'. I'm having so much fun with it!

I'm happy that we're going to celebrate two half-birthdays in our family tonight. John and Abbey will be exactly 43.5 and 8.5 tomorrow BUT we have church tomorrow night and I'm leaving the next day so we'll be celebrating tonight. I thought about making a cake and giving them each half but John has been craving banana pudding so I made some this morning. I don't know if the pudding will hold any candles, but we'll definitely sing "Half-y birthday" to them.

That's enough for now. What's something you're happy about?

PS: Because a couple of y'all asked so nicely, here's a pic of my pigtails!

Aw, LOVE the pigtails. I rock them with a hat many days also.

I'm happy that today I had a major revelation that I think will help Neeley and I to not kill each other before this school year is over. :)

And I'm happy that the sun is shining ALL WEEK and that our temps have been in the 70's. That's HUGE for us!

Your list made me happy!

I'm also happy that the calendar says it's officially my favorite season of the year (even though it is 90 degrees here in NC)

Way to rock the piggies, Mer! I love pigtails and a hat. I'm convinced the preschool moms don't know what I actually look like without them. :) At what point are we too old to pull that look off?

Nancy said...

Moriah @ Please Pass the Salt said...

Oh my word! Since I cut my hair so short the only way to really get it up is pigtails. So funny and silly. I told my hairdresser friend Jenny and she laughed and said that was very unexpected of me. LOL
