Happy 101

Aw, StCA got its very first blog award courtesy of the lovely Bre at Bella Vita! (Central Cooking got one too :) ) Bre and I actually met because of a shared love in books (we met on a national book club board) but it turns out that we actually live fairly close to each other, it was totally crazy to "meet" someone online from this area, I thought I was the only one -lol. Anyway, if you've never checked out Bre's blog do it now! She's incredibly smart (she was recently on Jeopardy!!), also just started a new job, and has the cutest little baby. So go read it!

Anyway, on to the award. Bre gave me the Happy 101 award and the idea is to stop and take a minute to list 10 things that make you happy and then give the award to 10 other bloggers.

So, here are 10 things that make me happy (I'm just using the same ones for Central Cooking too).

1. Doug and Grux - love my boys :)

2. My family - I have the best family

3. My friends (both irl and online)

4. My new job - it's seriously the best job I've ever had

5. Dave Matthews Band - blasting DMB makes me totally happy and their concerts are the most fun I've ever had

6. Dancing around the house and singing - especially to DMB, oldies, Broadway songs, or old school pop songs

7. Blogging - I love having someplace to express myself

8. Running - this is really new to me but I think I'm hooked already

9. Reading - books are my favorite thing to buy, Borders is my happy place, reading is my favorite thing to do, and I can navigate the library's site in my sleep

10. Baking and cooking - my second favorite thing to do, it's my other creative outlet

Now for the 10 bloggers I'm passing this on to: may this make them as happy as their blogs make me!
