Happy Thoughts

I spy a wabbit!

Not to be confused with a peppy card or other such uplifter, this is stuff that always makes me giggle, grin, or other wise turn that frown upside down. Because sometimes, you just need to get out of that funk you've fallen in.

1 - goofy animals. Camels, otters, llamas, armadillos, hedgehogs. You name it, they make me giggle.

2 - winnie the pooh. It's juvenile, I know, but it's hard to be dour when pretending to be a little black rain cloud.

3 - southern drawls. I find them comforting. Blame on childhoods spent at Grandma and Grandpa's.

4 - mashed potatoes. Yes the food, not the dance. I've never really understood the appeal of the dance, but the process of both making and eating mashed potatoes is a stress relieving. Now if only it didn't take so long.

5 - PICOS! He's my furry little love child. Sometimes, he makes his little bunny nose look like an elephant seal. Sometimes he goes all prairie dog on his hind legs looking for you. Lord help you if you have Wheat Thins or and apple, because will get all up in you face for a bite. And sometimes, on those very special occasions when he is super happy and content, he will thrust himself onto his back with his legs and tummy in the air like a dog. Well, actually he looks more like a twinkie rolling around on the floor, but it's just so freaking precious that it brings me to tears with laughter.
