It's been a while since I dedicated an entire post to the simple joys that have made me smile recently, so although it is long overdue, the sentiment is the same: I have much to be happy about!
Topping my list of happies is the fact that I made my husband cry this weekend. I had us both laughing so hard we had tears streaming down our faces...and this side-splitting laughter is, quite simply, one of THE best, simple joys on earth. Have you laughed like this recently?
My list of Happies for this installation of the Be-Happy-Tudes have all blurred together; I have a hard time separating them from my everyday life because there seem to be too many of them to hi-light; in short, life has been good to me.
Today was rainy and gray, which set the stage for a day spent indoors, cozied up in our PJ's, listening to the sound of the rain and doing a whole lotta nothing together. Every now and then, we all need days like these; guilt-free days of lounging around the house, stretching the hours of sweet nothingness, and doing all the things you want to, and not a lick of what you need to. Life is too short.
'Been feeling a little out of the blogging-loop lately; I am dreadfully behind in emails and making my blog-rounds but as I'm sure many of you can attest, this time of year is all-too consuming. Although Phil and I are behind in the Christmas shopping program, we're plugging away and getting things accomplished, little by little. If we're lucky, we'll have our shopping done and shipped this week (fingers crossed).
Have a happy Monday, friends!
I'm also so far out of the blogging loop it's not even funny!! I guess it's expected at this time of the year. Kudos to those who can juggle everything at once!
ReplyDeleteI loved all your pictures of the animals. And all those pictures of fresh fruit and veg, yum!!
I'm not even started on the Christmas shopping and i'm way too busy to even think of shipping! our lives def. need those days where we do nothing and i did that yesterday too! i'm way behind on le blog friends as well, no worries; if anyone understands, it's moi! enjoy the family time and me time...we all deserve it! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your photos! :) So unique. And pear gorgonzola dressing?! YUM...my mouth is watering! lol. Good luck finishing Christmas shipping/shopping! :) {I still need to get the ball rolling on that lol}
ReplyDeleteI love days like these! Around my parts we call it a snow day! Every now and then when a storm rolls through we just get all cozy and avoid going anywhere. I think everyone is a little behind in the blog world at this time of year. Greats shots! Talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteThe pear gorgonzola dressing looks ono! I make my own dressing with balsamic, olive oil, basil and gorgonzola (stole it from cpk after I moved to Maui and could no longer get my weekly fix!).
ReplyDeleteThe weather was crummy yesterday, I went to costco and was a little afraid to get out of the car.
I love your blog! Liza told me I would :-) Hope to meet you soon at a future get together.
Happy monday to you too my friend. These posts are always such a pick-me-up even if I don't always comment :) xox
ReplyDeleteI was super excited to see a post of yours in my google reader again! Give yourself some grace - blogging should be fun and not a chore. enjoy life first and blogging second :).
ReplyDeleteSo...do you have a dog? I didn't think you did. =/
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made him cry, those are the best tears ever!
Happy to read your happy-tudes. Nothing better. :)

Such wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reminders about gratitude.
Am going to be in your 'hood this weekend. Want to grab some froyo or coffee?
xo
Don't worry, I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet, because I've been too bogged down with finals. Plus, the intense rain has been keeping me in...thunder and lightning sort of freak me out haha. I'm happy that you have much to be happy about, and your pictures are always a joy to look at. Happy Holidays Angie!
ReplyDeleteLove taking time to notice the small things. Especially this time of year when it's possible to feel exceptionally broke, noticing my blessings reminds me that I truly am RICH. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteYour cat is sooo cute! I love OPI nail polish. I'm wearing a very similar shade of red right now!
ReplyDeleteI can catch you up on the highlights on my blog in one sentence: I'm doing a Christmas giveaway and you need to enter!
Hi. Loved catching up here. Very behind myself. Love all your pics. Remembering your posts about your brother. Healing is never ending. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteAngie, I love your creativity and style. We had a few side splitting laughing so hard moments last week one night when I got my husband to march in the house and simulate paddling from side to side. We needed our exercise and just had to get moving. Couldn't stop laughing it was so funny. Got cabin fever after that wonderful cozy, rainy weekend on Maui... Look forward to reading your blog often. Liza told me too!
