May 14th: Ten Things That Make You Happy!

I love this one! I guess it's because I'm excited to tell you the things that make me happy...because, well, they make me happy! These are in no particular
order.

1. Chipotle

A Chipotle Burrito Bowl with chicken/steak, pinto beans, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, guac, and pico de gallo is the way to my heart. I had one today, and it was oh so good. Love at first, second, and third bite.

2. Curling up with a good book

Nothing better than getting in that super, ultimate, lazy comfortable spot with your favorite book, and losing yourself in another world. When I was a little girl, my mom would swear up and down that I was in another world. I had a gift, I could ignore everyone around me when I got into a good book.

3. Those few moments right before you fall asleep at night

Maybe, while reading that oh-so-amazing book? I don't really know what it is, but there's something about those surreal moments before you lose consciousness that ca be so incredibly peaceful.

4. Puppies

So...I've never had a puppy, but I spend so much time imagining the kind of cutie I'll get when I move out of my parent's place. Probably a Bichon Frise, because they're just soooo cute. Something about those cute little puppy dog eyes that gets me every time.

5. Laughing/Making others laugh

I get such a sensation form laughing with friends, or just making them laugh. It really makes me happy. I'll find any reason to laugh.

6. Tumblr

Shameless plug. I love this site. Hours of procrastination entertainment. I feel like not much more needs to be said. Except, they have a gif for EVERY mood you may ever/will ever/have ever felt.

7. My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ

'Nuff said!

8. Writing

Writing is my favorite past time. It gives me the opportunity to escape. It allows me to figure out, and understand what I'm feeling. It challenges me to look at situations from different angles. It really is my outlet.

9. Eating and food and cooking

I don't remember where I heard this, but "my favorite meal is my next one." Haha. I love food. I love eating it, cooking it, everything. Eating is great, trying new foods is great, and preparing a meal for a loved one is great.

10. My mom

She really is crazy. But I love her. Through thick and thin, rough and tough, high and low (can i come up with anymore cheesy lines?) she's there for me. She's always pushing me to do my best, and pushing me to enjoy my life, because sometimes I get so caught up in existing that I forget to live. I love this woman. Truly
