Happiness Is...

- being off on my birthday (today) and getting to sit on the couch in my jammies in a totally quiet house.

- replanting my pansies this weekend (the pots needed more dirt so that you can actually see the flowers) in freshly painted pots that now match our front door thanks to me getting over my fear of spray painting them.

- my cat greeting me at the door every evening when I come home. I love it when she's there, especially when I've had a rough commute. It all goes away when I lean down to show her some love and she just can't get enough of me.

- finding out that there is a 5 Guys burger joint just 2 blocks from my work! I love their burgers and I had no idea that a new place opened up a couple of months ago. Now I can treat myself to a great burger once in a while.

- logging into my work e-mail and seeing a birthday message from my dad waiting for me. He calls it my Birth Anniversary and he's completely the best dad ever. I love him so much and I miss him and it's so comforting to know that he is in my life...I just wish he lived closer to me so I could cash in on the hug he said he wanted to give me today.
