Friday Fun!

It's Friday!!!! Everybody get up and shake your money maker 'cause my favorite day of the week it here! And it's not just ANY sort of Friday, mind you. This is the Friday where my two most FAVORITE words of March are uttered. My children will be celebrating it in a few weeks, and they will have a deliriously happy Friday, but this one is MINE. AAALLLLLLLLLL MINE. (Because when they celebrate theirs, I might be a little bit, uhm, edgy? We'll see...)

But today, dear readers, as I type this blog, I can only think of two words that would bring me such happiness.

Wanna know what they are?

Say it with me....

SPRING. BREAK.

(Woooooooo Mu-FAHsa! Say it again!)

I may not get paid a whole lot as a professor of music, but one of the perks- every eight weeks I get a full week off. LOOOOOOOVVVE!

Oh- you don't get one? I'm really sorry. (Sincerely!) Maybe it should be a new law? Maybe we should storm Congress? I mean.... if they can demand more taxes, do we not have the right to band together and demand Spring Break for ALL?

Hmmmmm.... I may be on to something here.

Yours, considering a trip to the capital- AFTER Spring Break ;) ,

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY!

I’m still not feeling well, so I decided to make a list of things that make me happy. No, not the usual World Peace sort of things, but the little, unexpected things that happen and never fail to bring a smile to my face. Here are the ones I can think of:

  1. A compliment.
  2. The other side of the pillow (ahhh, so nice and cool).
  3. Hearing a child giggle.
  4. Walking, or driving, by flowers and getting a whiff of their scent.FLOWERS
  5. An unexpected hug from my child.
  6. Finding money in a pocket.
  7. Fitting into a smaller size.
  8. Realizing at the end of the day that I haven’t used up all of my Weight Watchers points so I can have a snack before I go to bed.
  9. Getting a card in the mail, when it’s not even my birthday.
  10. Getting a new fan on my Facebook Fan Page. (Hint, hint!)
  11. Realizing it’s only 16 MORE DAYS until my annual sister’s trip to Mexico. (WOO HOO!!!)
  12. Hearing a song on the radio that brings back great memories.

Okay, that’s all I can think of. What are the things that make you happy?
