Things That Made Me Happy This Week

(I’m not bragging, I’m just reminding myself as this week comes to a close.)

1.        The sound of a 4 year old girl who is disabled, riding a horse and belting out the song “Frosty the Snowman” in her loudest, bawdiest, uninhibited 3 pack a day smoker’s voice.  I mean, the girl can REALLY sing, not the slightest bit tone deaf or anything.

2.       The giant, contented smile that crossed a little boy’s face, who is disabled, while he listened to his little sister mentioned in #1 sing.

3.       I got carded at Olive Garden.  (But then, so did Wayne and he’s older than me.)

4.       Ending in “the black” after a last minute, surprise donation.

5.       I watched a hot guy (mentioned in #3) fix my toilet. 

6.       Another hot guy in the form of an overly tall quarter horse walked up to the fence while I was on the phone and pressed his lips against my forehead for a while, like a big giant horsey “I love you.”

7.       I found a really nice dog leash on sale CHEAP at Menards.  It’s a 16 ft long retractable so I can walk Rosco the schnoodle and pretend I don’t know him.

8.       Shelby told me the fat around my belly is going away (that little turd). 

9.       Listening to my boss talk to his 4 year old grandson.

10.   Listening to Shelby talk grown up to the lady cutting her hair.
