And I'm not even an actress!

But I still got an award!  It's from Julia at The World is My Oyster!  This one is super special because I don't even know her!  I mean, not like that.  What I mean is, we've never met!  Only on the internets!  Julia just knows me from my writing and she likes it so much that she gave me an award!  I didn't even take her to lunch or buy her a drink or anything!  Which I totally would if she ever came to Dallas by the way.
Now, on to ten things that make me happy:


1. A good yoga class - Sweating, shaking and smiling.  It's the only way to be.
2.  My husband's laugh - He's not big on the belly laughs but when he does, his smile lights up his whole face.
3.  Spa treatments - massages, facials, mani, pedi - That is my idea of heaven!
4.  A clean house - Where everything is in it's place, there's the faintest hint of citrus cleaner and someone else has done it for me!
5.  Salsa dancing - Even though I haven't been dancing in a while I still remember how happy I feel when I'm with a good partner.
6.  Finding a home decor item I've been wanting - I wanted a cake stand for my perfumes and I had no idea where to even begin looking for something like that.  One day we were in Urban Outfitters and Drew was like, 'Hey isn't this a cake stand?' And it WAS!  For only $10!  There's nothing like that triumphant feeling!
7.  My girlfriends - I only have a few, but they're so special to me.  Whether it's lunch, drinks, dinner or just hanging out at my house watching a movie, my time with them is so very precious.
8.  Purging and organizing - Am I a nerd for admitting that?  The storage container aisle at Target makes me drool.  We have a space in the closet that I filled with clear totes from Target and I swear I just stood there and looked at them, sighing in contentment for a good ten minutes!  I love for everything to have a place and every place to have a thing.
9. New clothes - I take care of the clothes I have and I don't have anywhere to go these days which means I don't shop.  When I do, it's a total treat for me and I love the whole process.  Finding something I love, trying it on, modeling in the fitting room and taking it home!

I can't believe I'm going to say this.
...
Who have I become?
...
What has happened to me?
...
Really?

10.  My dog
...
Yeah, I said it.  No, I can't believe it either.  Yeah, I'm serious.  No, I'm not being funny.
Somewhere, sometime, that ridiculous animal put a smile on my face and I was done for.  That was it.  Now, I invite her up on the sofa to curl up next to me to watch tv.  Now, I'm the one who pets her and loves on her.  I'm the one who is actually worried for her well-being.  And I'm the one who laughs when she's being cute. 
There, I said it.  It's out there and I've no interest in taking it back.

I now pass this award to other blogs that make me happy!
These are the ones I know and comment on their blogs, they comment on mine and I think they're great.  The rest I just like to read and maybe you will to, because if I gave them an award they'd be like, and you are???

There you have it - the things that make me happy!

When you leave me a comment, my phone chimes. I run to it from across the house, anxious to read what you've said. I save them in my email and read them multiple times a day, which is why you may not get an immediate response but I promise I eventually respond to every comment that has an email address.

You make me smile - I just thought you should know.
