happy, happy, joy, joy

Molly Lou is one of my favorite gals & I'm totally stealing her post idea. With the way things have been lately, I need happiness in my life...even if I have to force it upon myself {and, well, upon you, too}.

Technically, Molly Lou was tagged by a fellow blogger & then she tagged everyone, so I'm considering myself part of the 'everyone' and I hope that you'll do the same because, guess what, I'm tagging everyone too. Ha!

So, here we go...TEN things that make me happy:

1. Starbucks. Need I say more? OK, I will...venti peppermint mochas, cafe lattes, their morning bun and their gift cards. Everything about Starbucks makes me happy. My bank account? Not so much.
2. My kidlets. They are my pride & joy. They are my legacy. They were created out of love between the hubs & I. They truly ARE my heart beating outside of my body.
3. Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I wish I was there right now. If you've been there, you should know why it's a happy place. If not, you need to go. White sand, crystal blue water, good food, culture, romance...
4. My parents & my sister. MY family. Aside from the hubs, these three people are the only three people in the world who will love me, support me and be there for me 100% of the time...without a doubt. Blood is thicker than water, people.
5. Pedicured toes. And, sadly, my feet have not indulged in a pedicure in a long while. It's time to change that.
6. A good sale. It's no surprise...I l♥ve to shop. 'Nuff said.
7. My fur babies. With three cats and one puplet in the house, there is no shortage of squeaky toys, shedding hair or messes to clean up...but the purr of a happy kitty or the smell of puppy breath is worth it. So worth it.
8. Wine. Lots of it. Even though drinking it gives me one yowsa of a headache the next day...well, it all depends on exactly how much was consumed...but it's so worth it. {No, I'm not an alkie.}
9. The hubs. He takes care of me. He cooks for me. He hugs me when I'm sad. He is my rock. Our relationship hasn't been perfect, but it's our kind of perfect. I can't imagine my life without him. Although, it would be nice if he stopped snoring.
10. Myself. As conceited as it sounds, I make myself happy. I stand tall {not always strong} with my convictions. I make no apologies for the things I've said or done. I am who I am...take it or leave it. If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

So, what makes you happy? One thing? Ten things? Tell me.
