Place Happy Things Here

[raangoli]

I am in need of some happiness and I think others are as well. Share your happy news or favorite gif, picture. etc. here to help spread some smiles.

Cheesy? Yes, but dang it, I need some laughs and smiles.

It's like the universe heard me - the banner ad is advertising ice cream to me. YES, I WILL EAT IT ALL.




And then an ad for Ghirardelli...

We bought a house this weekend with an actual picket fence! My son will be so happy to have a yard.

And it appraised for $20k more than we paid so it's MM, lol.

I made a GIF of my cats:

mbcdefg: Those photoshop posts always crack me up! And your kitties are adorable!

I went shopping yesterday. A whole day, just to shop for stuff I wanted to. I even found a pair of shoes I liked, and that fit (they'd be fugly by MM standards, but oh well), and a pair of slacks that were half off. It was a relaxing day.

This is really really nerdy but I just got a Haan handheld steam cleaner on the recommendation of a friend. I just broke it out and it's getting my fridge soooo clean. Like flushing out stuff that's been stuck that you can't reach. I am not a love of cleaning person but this is making me so happy today. Now maybe I won't avoid cleaning it for so long now.

This is interesting - is it like a clothes steamer or a general household steamer? 

I needed something to do yesterday, so I deep cleaned my kitchen. When things are clean and uncluttered, I can relax - so I am with you on this one!

Grandma just brought Wyatt back from a sleepover at her house.

HE'S SO WIGGLY!!!

Handheld. It comes with a bunch of different attachments. My friend seems to use it on everything but I haven't gotten there yet.

I've lost 24.8 pounds in 18 weeks. Slow and steady mostly via diet with some exercise. Eating less crap has improved my mood and energy. .2 pounds and my bmi will be "normal". I'm happy about feeling better and looking better and setting a better example for my child.

Congratulations! This is so wonderful! I know how hard it is to lose weight - you're awesome!  (high5)  (star)

I'll throw this here.

My BF makes me so, so happy. I have never just liked another human being as much as I like him. He is so funny, smart, cute, hardworking, and so much like me in so many ways. I love that no matter what we're doing, I can plan on having fun. We get along so easily and doing things like housework seem like no big deal because I have a happily willing partner in taking care of stuff that needs to be done. I am so proud of how well he does in his PhD program and of the type of person he is. He really inspires me to be a kinder, better person.

This is how I slept last night. It's a good thing I am single, there's no room in my bed for anyone else! I love that they are such cuddle bugs.

mbcdefg love the kitty gif!

Today is my anniversary. It's a beautiful outside (sunny and 75) and I have gotten several miscellaneous bits of good news today:)

[raangoli]

@buckybells - I'm glad to hear things are going so well. You are truly deserving of every happiness in the world.

[raangoli]

Happy Anniversary @kcpokergal!

I signed a contract with the University & expect to sign with the company in LA this week!

Also, figuring out my niche market and how to dominate in it. Hoping to launch in November.

My favorite pair of ballet flats have seen better days. I have been casually looking for a replacement. I went to Nordstrom Rack yesterday and bought a pair of Cole Haan flats on clearance for $50.

This list never fails tho thrill me

We're closing on our first home next Tuesday!!  And, to make it MM, we put down 25% and got the sellers to make almost $30K in repairs for us, thanks to our "pain in the ass, yes, we will walk away" negotiating strategy.  I feel like all my hard work over the past 7 years is paying off in a tangible way.

So while I'm sad to be leaving NYC (and sad that I never realized my earlier dream of buying an apartment here), I know it's the right move for us in the long run.  I just tell myself I'll be one of those B&Ters who pops in every weekend.

[raangoli]

genet313 - I am so glad to hear that you're closing next week! I will admit that it was a terrifying time for me, I was so afraid that everything would break and that we'd end up house poor. I am happy to report that neither of those things have happened. Enjoy your first home and all the fun that comes along with decorating.

I left Wyatt inside this morning while I went to work for the first time ever. No damage!

I didn't really think he would, but he's still young and crazy.
