Happiness Is...

- spending Father's day with my husband and the Little Guy. We went to lunch and had some steamed crabs while chatting and looking out at the water.

- eating a frosty. I. love. frosties. I only get them once or twice a Summer, but they are soooo good and refreshing.

- having great bloggy buddies. You guys always understand and it makes me feel good to read your comments.

- a quick passing thunderstorm that waters the grass and the plants. We had one last night and it was a doozy. Thank goodness it was quick and we were never in any danger of a tornado, but it did its job and watered everything for us. Moving the sprinklers every 30 minutes to cover our freshly seeded 1 acre lot can be a pain in the butt in the evening when all you want to do is kick off your shoes and chill on the couch. Thank you Mother Nature!

- looking forward to Friday this week. I am taking off work to take the Little Guy to a local beach with his cousins and my SIL. It will be hot and sunny...perfect beach weather.

haha, I hear ya on moving the sprinklers!! What a drag - every year our lawn is brown by the end of the summer because we get lazy ;). This year we actually splurged on a timer from Home Depot that has 4 spouts. Then we rigged up 4 long hoses + to those stake sprinklers, scattered across the lawn. Now the lawn waters itself - yay! And only cost us $100 vs having a professional sprinkler system put in. You might need more than one system with a 1 acre lawn (I think ours is .6 of an acre or so), but it's so worth it!

Have fun at the beach, it sounds great!

Great list! I love frosties, too. They're so fake and so bad, but so good!

Alex said...

Wonderful list! Aren't bloggy buddies the best? I'm feeling all kinds of warm fuzzies towards you wonderful people.

Hey chickie, I tried to track down your email on iV and here, but no dice! I heard about an IVF clinical trial that I thought you might be interested in looking into, to see if you/your clinic qualify -- if you are, shoot me an email at larker4-at-gmail-dot-com and I'll send you the info. ;)

Finn's Mom said...

Argh, crap - i just noticed the trial is for women 35-42. One of the few times it stinks to be too young!! I'll keep keeping an eye out for you though! ;)

I like your happiness list. It's good to focus on the positive. Good luck!

I so love thunderstorms *IF* I'm at home and there is no concern for tornados! We've had some great ones lately, they make me want to take a nap!!

Looks like you had a great day! I love frosties too! I remember following a while back but for some reason, I didn't have your link until just now! Happy ICLW! (#75)
