46) Some time to myself - So far twice in the past two days I have had unexpected time alone. I hadn't realized how busy I have been lately. It was nice to just do pretty much nothing that needed to be done. I got to read my book club book and bake banana bread today too. So nice to do something just for me
47) Modifying recipes - Speaking about my banana bread I ended up inadvertently slightly modifying the recipe by both misreading the actual amounts of ingredients and not having the spices called for. It ended up being really good. I am pumped to share it with both my Mom, who loves banana bread, and my dude who has to eat stuff I make and give him.
48) DSW's delivery confirmation email - I think this one speaks for itself but it inspired true happiness.
49) My dog - I know she is already on the list but this morning I woke up to her under the covers with her little head sticking up resting on my arm. Needless to say I was about five minutes behind schedule this morning for an impromptu snuggle session.
50) New consignment stores - My work is now available at Artista in Mt. Airy. It is a great store and I am very happy to have my work there.
51) A night to myself - I kinda lucked out tonight in that my roommate was gone and I got to cook dinner for myself, which I hadn't done in AGES. I was able to play my music on the stereo and sing until my heart was content to Ginger. It was a great feeling.
52) Getting out of work early - It is always a welcomed surprise. I was able to go and window shop at Nordstrom's which always puts me in a good mood. Even just window shopping it still made me happy.
53) My ponytail - I can't believe how happy I am to be able to pull my hair into a proper ponytail now. It is so great and it makes me so happy that my hair is almost past my shoulders now. It is so long for me right now. I am pumped to keep growing it out. It is only getting better.
54) New music - Pandora is opening my eyes to some new music and I love it. I love learning new songs and I will admit those were some of them were sung loudly in my kitchen! I am a sucker for that stuff. (I feel this is all working up to me finally having the guts to sing karaoke by myself sometime in my year of happiness.)
55) New cookbooks - I am really excited but I got a new cookbook all about cookies. It is Gourmet magazines top cookie recipe from every year from 1940-2000. That is 60 amazing cookie recipes. I can't wait to make some of them. What I think I like most of all is that a few of the recipes remind me of cookies my Grandma made for us growing up. She may have even got the recipes from Gourmet but it made me think of here and I think that is why I liked it so much.
