11 Things That Make Me Incredibly Happy

I haven't been feeling particularly chatty lately.  Life has just been sort of... blah.  It's not as if things have been bad, they just haven't really been all that stellar, either.

I'm not a fan of these types of days.  There's really no reason for it.


So, in no particular order, here are 11 very random things that make me really happy:

Angelina's!  Best Hot Chocolate on the Planet

Hot Chocolate

Any slightly cool evening is perfect for a hot chocolate date. 

Gardenias

The scent of these pretty white flowers remind me of Spring.

Thunderstorms

Nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of rain.

Sparkly teal eyeliner

It's so totally ridiculous and I don't care. 

"Artwork" from my niece and nephew

Their homemade Valentines from 2010 are still on my fridge. 

Lazy Sunday morning brunch

Best enjoyed in pajamas with mimosas.

Currently on my nightstand

Books worth staying up all night to read

Sadly, I feel like these are getting harder to find.

And most of the one I enjoy are written for 14 year old girls.  Ack.

Malibu

Sunshine-y afternoons at the beach

It's strange how much I love the beach considering I still can't swim.

(But I'm working on that!)

Handwritten letters

Double points if they are "just because" notes

600 thread count sheets

Yes, I'm a high maintenance sleeper.

Crazy-high scoring Scrabble words

Don't ever leave the triple word open.
