Thursday Thirteen: 13 Things Which Make Me Happy

1/3/2012

Just a quick post as I find myself nearing the end of my first draft of my current WiP. Since that's something which is making me very happy (so near to the end - so near!!!), I thought I'd share a few more things which have made or are currently making me happy.

So please allow me to present:

Thirteen Things Which Make Me Happy

Picture

Being able to see the planets with the naked eye. Why should seeing the planets make me happy? Because it's not often we're able to see them so clearly where I live.

I got to show them to my hubby last night, which he thought was totally cool. That made me happy.

Picture
Finding out I sold a few copies of my ebooks via Kobo in January (and only just found out) makes me pretty happy too. Then again, any sale of my books makes me pretty darned happy.

This music video makes me happy. From the opening bird calls to the ending with the granddad and child walking away in a dusting of snow, and most importantly - the new song these things frame - I'm a happy camper all the way through.
Picture
Happy Fabian Cancellara (pictured at one of the launches for his autobiography)? Yup - he makes me happy!

As for his trousers in this pic? I'm figuring it's a Swiss thing.

Picture
Fabian's tweets always make me happy, because Fabianese (his unique take on the English language) is a joy to behold!

Picture
She drives me crazy - to the point I want to strangle her, sometimes - but when she's being cute and cuddly and sweet... My Doodlebug makes me happy.

The video clip below makes me happy. The whole show does, actually. Then again, the fact my hubby and I recite this to each other roughly once a day is enough to keep me in a happy state of mind.
Picture
The Sherlock Holmes films make me happy.

For a number of reasons.

Picture
The snow made me happy. I miss it already - which doesn't make me happy.

But I'll remember it fondly, which does make me happy.

I'm very, very happy to see my critique partner's book is selling and getting lovely reviews.




Picture
Moments of unexpected silliness with my niece - especially when they feature my hubby? Yup, those make me happy!

Picture
I'm happy because the Strade Bianche road race is this weekend - the Classics season is kicking off! Woo-hooo!!!

Picture
Of course, the thing which has made me the happiest has been spending time with my hubby - especially on Tuesday night, as we celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary.






So there you go: Thirteen Things Which Make Me Happy!






I hope some of them might have made you happy, too.












I'm sure you've all got things which cheer you up on a bad day, or which brighten an already pleasant one.











And in that spirit, I offer you this:






Look how happy he is!

Ciao for now!

Viewing the planets and stars is always reason to smile. Love the pic of your cat sleeping on a book, and I think you got all our snow this year--we've had about half the norm for our area (though we had record-breaking winters for five years previous) and it was unusually warm for Jan and Feb. I think you will like my post from this week (and last week, too!) : <a href="http://wordtrix.blogspot.com/2012/03/thursday-thirteen-240-vocabuarly-tale.html">A Vocab Thursday Thirteen</a>

Whah, my comment from last week (something stupid about you making me smile) must have gotten caught in the spam filters.

I'm sorry to say, Alice - I checked and couldn't find it in the filters. :( I guess it didn't make it through!

OMG, I just spit out my drink seeing that last picture. I am laughing and smiling so hard right now. Thank you for this awesome Thursday 13!

P.S. Nice visiting your blog for the first time - I'm Anna :)
