Things that make you happy

Naptime, matilda, naptime.

And snacktime, too?

I'm pro-siesta.

True story. We got an hour for lunch at an old job I had with a brokerage firm in the IT department. I'd go out to my car, set my phone alarm for 30-40 minutes, and shut my eyes on bad days.

I have recess at my job, but not the same kind. Actually we are in recess the next two weeks so I get to dress down and leave at 5. That makes me happy.

FI

My family.

Naps.

The rhododendron just decided it wanted to come back to life and is now in full bloom.

Strawberry milkshakes

My pets.

My new shipment of yarn from Knitpicks.com

Bubble baths with a good book and some wine

Sunshine

Finding the first tomato or pepper on the plant and watching it grow.

Finishing a knitting project.

Making jam or bread or both.

I do that all the time in the winter (or what passes for winter down here).  It's nice to have a break like that.

The fact that I will have a baby boy within the next couple weeks. Hopefully sooner.

My kitties that have been keeping me company through all the boring days of bed rest.

The nursery being done with just one more thing needed to make it complete.

Ha, I used to work for a general contractor. For awhile I was onsite doing build-out on a couple of floors of a just-built building. Most of the floors weren't finished and weren't being worked on at the time. I'd go up to one of the upper floors and take naps in a private bathroom.

Good one! I grew tomatoes for the first time last year and I was irrationally excited when I saw that first microscopic cherry tomato first appear.

- my upcoming visit to NY in a few weeks 

- the long distance part of our relationship will be over in less than 3 weeks!

- moving to a new place (I generally like this, but am specifically referring to my upcoming move to be with FH)

- knowing that a big tax refund is coming up :-)

- donuts

nurse.misty

My 3 dogs.

Finally having a lawn mower so my jungle of a yard can look better.

Being able to find a photog at the last minute for only $250 for 2 hours to do bridals, ceremony, and family/couple pics with a cd to do as many prints as I want. That girl made my entire week!

Naps

Bad Lifetime movies

West Indian food

Traveling and planning trips

missy68

Ohh, MP, between the Lifetime movie channel dramas (not the love stories) and the ID channel and Criminal Minds marathons, I'm all set for a weekend in!

I'm a crime solver in my own mind.

Is that the one with the SCUBA problem?  OFf to Google.  I missed the Craigslist Killer one.

missy68

Craigslist Killer was on again last night. I watched it until it was almost over (I'd already seen it, and, well, we know how it ends anyway).

Friday afternoons are for light naps and ID.

[QUOTE]Sunshine and beautiful spring days.<strong> Fica-- pronounced fee-kuh (Swedish coffee break that includes a pastry)</strong> H coming home after a week away. What are yours?
Posted by Snippylynn[/QUOTE]

Is this an all over Sweden law or something?  Is there a pastry dude/dudette that delivers some daily along with coffee?  Oh, that would be heaven!

WIN on the H coming home to you!

I agree with PPs about the recess and naptimes on workdays.
