Poor Me ......
The last couple of postings were not me at my finest. I am going to blame most of it on the weather (lack of sunshine, SAD) because the sun was shining all day today and it just makes me feel better inside. I usually don't like to focus on what is missing from my life (ie. the whole loneliness posting) and I can only take the self-pity for so long.

Do you get the November blahs? Maybe it's hitting me early this year. I know that the February blahs are a documented phenomenon, but I think that November is a crappy month as well. So, to raise my spirits here is a list of 20 things that make me happy:
1. chocolate (especially European chocolate)
2. children's laughter (especially my kids')
3. a great-fitting pair of jeans - the kind that makes your ass look great from every angle
4. electric blankets
5. good hair days
6. decorating the Christmas tree with E and B
7. a good book/movie/CD
8. my bed
9. did I mention chocolate?
10. the high I get from spinning
11. finding money in my pocket when I'm not expecting it
12. summer vacation
13. rapini and garlic
14. a hug from B
15. my morning coffee
16. when people remember my birthday (March 7th btw ...)
17. massages
18. my tattoo
19. when a man opens the car door for me
20. getting a postcard in the mail

(Happy Birthday J !!!!)
