I'm going to give you all a nice, fun, normal evening ....

... if I have to kill every single person on the face of the earth to do it." "Yay?" (btvs 3:20)

It's February, which let's face it isn't often the best month so I decided it would be fun to make a list of the things that are making me happy right now! fyi: Things are going okay for me, it's just a busy, stressful time at work. Now, onto the good things:

My happy list ... in no particular order

1. My girlfriend is coming to visit in 12 days!!!!

2. Thanks to the kind anonymous person who gifted me with some yummy virtual candy hearts!! They totally brightened my day to receive them!

3. Thanks to the lovely person who nominated Murder at the Neptune Express at the Fang Fetish Awards in the "Unique Universes - Best crossover with the NON BTVS/ATs world" category. This pleases me a lot because I really love that fic! *g*

So this next part of the list is all the TV shows that are making me happy:

4. Grey's Anatomy - I continue to enjoy the show so much. And it's always good for a cathartic cry.

5. Friday Night Lights - So I've now seen the first 10 episodes and totally love this show!! It's beautifully shot, well-written and has compelling characters and storylines. I'm so excited to see more episodes because I've been hearing just how fabulous it's been recently. I know this may seem like a weird comparison but it fills the hole that Everwood left.

6. 30 Rock - This is the show that snuck up on me and before I knew it, I was hooked. Alec Baldwin in particular is so funny and steals every scene. And this show fills the hole that Arrested Development left.

7. Ugly Betty - This is the show I didn't know I was missing in my life. My friend and I have been watching a couple of episodes together each week and are totally addicted. I'm really pleased with how they're dealing with the latest plot twist and revelations - it's really making me happy. I adore all the characters especially Betty and her friendship with Daniel, and Justin, he's so fabulous!

8. The Office - This show continues to be brilliant! I love how they can be poignant and then shift on a moment to funny and cringey. The Joss directed episode rocked - loved the vampire references and the art show scene at the end.

9. Heroes - I always look forward to the new episodes and always enjoy the show. And omg, how creepy is Sylar?!

And now onto music that's making me happy.

10. Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Lovesounds. I've been surprised by how much I enjoy this - it's so uplifting.

11. Lily Allen's Alright Still. When we had this on at work last night, I was actually dancing. Definitely an amazing album that always cheers me up, and wow is she talented!

Oh, I must list some food and drinks!

12. The Baklava from the new and awesome Falafel place near my work.

13. That I can still get Peppermint Hot Chocolates from Starbucks!

Hmmm, I can't end on #13 so I must end with:

14. Curling! I went curling with my work on Friday and it was so much fun! I actually was kinda good AND my team won!

So, tell me what's making you happy right now!! *g*

What's making me happy right now? Um ... can I get back to you in March? :-)

Okay, I didn't mean for the candy hearts to be anonymous. I sent them to a few friends and I must have clicked/not clicked the right thing (I did it hurriedly) and none of them were id-ed as coming from me. Oh well... Glad you liked them though. *g*

What is making me happy right now?

Life-wise:

1. Getting my life together.

2. That Car and I are still getting along very well.

3. That we're getting her condo in order.

4. That I actually flirted with the young clerk at The Container Store.

5. That in some ways my health has improved.

6. I've lost some weight.

TV-wise:

7. Supernatural - yes, both boys are technically young enough to be my sons, but they are hot, funny and a bunch of other adjectives. I love this show.

8. 24 - cuz Jack is back! *g*

9. Medium - I love Alison and the relationship with her husband.

10. Heroes - this show is adorable in so many ways.

11. Ugly Betty - wasn't gonna watch this. Now I can't not watch it.

12. House - I continue my adoration of Hugh Laurie.

13. Bones - I only watched it in the beginning to see if David Boreanaz could do anything other than Angel. Now, I love Bones and Booth.

Music-wise:

14. Rodrigo y Gabriela rule! It's hard to dance in a car while driving and yet I manage to do it whenever they come on.

Future-wise:

15. As soon as I'm done plotting and working up my courage, I'll start the Spuffy story I've been thinking about. I think it'll be good to get back to writing.

There you go. Congrats on the noms - you deserve them. And it'll be great for you to get to spend some time with your gal. I'm sure you'll have a blast.

yay for visits! *g* those are the best of all. I'm with you on the 30 rock. that's good times. hm, what else is making me happy right now? well... not to rub it in, but it's warm and sunny here. 75 degrees farenheit, which i have no idea how to translate into celsius, lol.

Yay for visits! That's just the best.

I've heard really good things about FNL so if it returns for another season I will start tuning in. I had little interest in seeing it initially because I grew up in the South and just hated the football mindset there. It was just such a rednecky thing. The last thing I wanted to do was see it revisited.

The Office and Heroes continue to be enjoyable. And "30 Rock" grabbed me after one episode. I agree, Baldwin's Golden Globe is well deserved, and not a single episode has gone by yet where I didn't laugh really hard at least once. I really like Tina Fey's character, she's my type of girl :>

And wow, people curl for fun! (*g* I suspect it's much like broomball here). It reminds me of a post petzipellepingo made today with the little differences in British life for Americans. Apparently all the Brits were shocked Americans don't use electic kettles and towel warmers.

February is kind of a crappy month, but at least it's short. *g* It would be nice to have a stat holiday in February, that would probably help a bit - do you have one in Ontario?

Congratulations on the nomination for your fic! And ooh! You went curling again! You're Canadian, aren't you? :P

Things I'm happy about: 1) our cold snap has finally ended - which meant I finally got to wear my new dress last week! Very excited about that. *g* 2) I'm having lots of fun with my newfound Scottish obsession. 3) I'm making a point of watching TV shows that I like - not because I have to (gosh, who has to watch TV?), but because it's nice to be entertained by a variety of things. 4) I'm taking some vacation time starting at the end of this week! YAY! :D

Congratulations! =)

I have to say, watching curling in the olympics and trying to figure out what the hell was going on was so much fun! My husband and I would just make up imaginary rules, and it seemed like it was ALWAYS on! Of course, then he actually started understanding the rules, and that was less fun, but it was good while it lasted. =)

Yay for happy things and happy making up coming events, like your upcoming visit with your gf (for some reason, I'm trying to remember if it's okay to say her username here -- I think so, but... *errs on side of caution as usual*).

Congratulations on your nomination! That's such excellent news.

I'm really liking the latest Justin Timberlake album too (even though I giggle every time I hear the title song, because of the VH1 commentator who said when she heard the album, she called her friends and said: "OMG, YOU GUYS! SEXY IS BACK!!!!!"

Curling! I will forever associate you with curling because of the time you posted pics of yourself with your coworkers playing...doing?...curling (maybe you just curl curling? or curling is itself the verb? *confused*). So in my mind, you play all the time, and so does everyone in Canada, and you could win in tournaments. :D
