What - not so obvious - makes you happy?

#16
Here is my list:

1. Payday (I LOVE payday)
2. Skiing (when I can afford it)
3. Anything and everything to do with Apple—I just salivate when I go into an Apple store, but most of the time can't afford to buy anything, but I love to "window shop."
4. Cappuccino in the morning! I'm truly addicted.
5. Reading and contributing to the Purse Forum—I love it here!
6. Fantasizing about Daniel Craig (sorry DH...)
7. Going to the art museum by myself—it's time for ME!
8. Coming home from work!

- Remembering a good dream
- Seeing a rainbow (I don't know why but they make me so happy that I get tears sometimes. maybe I'm just really hormonal every time I see them)
- Doing something I mean to do but always procrastinate on
- Planning things
- Kitties and babies. Not necessarily together.
- Finding out that an avocado is just ripe when I eat it.
- Eating seaweed. Especially the unhealthy baked, deep fried, and roasted kind.
- Eating fish roe. crunch crunch crunch.
