Katie gave me the lovely Happy 101 award last week, which is an award for all the ladies in the blogging community that bring a smile to your face. Along with this award I am to list 10 things that make me HAPPY and pass the award on to 10 ladies that make me smile.
So, here are the things that make me happy;
- Driving – yes I know, its not exactly eco friendly, but people, I drive a polo, it’s not like I am trundling around in a truck (but boy do I want one!). I love the freedom I have with it! My car may be one of my favourite places to be. It’s my own little world. Sometimes when things get a little too much I just get in it and drive about, music on high and it all gets better.
- The Beach Boys – I don’t trust anyone who says they don’t like the Beach Boys. There isn’t a problem that can’t be made better by listening to Pet Sounds. Nothing more to say on that subject!
- Baking.
So, I can’t cook. No, that’s not true; the truth is I can’t be bothered to cook. A quick pasta or salad will do me just fine for the day to day eating! But baking – I love baking – cakes and biscuits and fruit breads (and decorating them too) I find it therapeutic. And it means you get to buy super cute cupcake cases and the likes! (Plus, when I bake, I find the urge to eat the sweet treats has gone! Crazy hu!) - My camera’s. I feel lost without at least one in my bag. Now, I just need to get a little better! And understand the technicalities of it all. And I want to get back in the darkroom.
- Rum! With ginger beer mostly, or in a cocktail but a nice golden rum – ummmmm delicious!
- Mexican food! This needs no explanation.
- The snow. Snowboarding. Sitting in chalets looking out at the mountains. Even snow in Leeds making it all look lovely and clean and crisp. I love snow.
- The sea. I love sailing. I love being by the sea, on the beach, in the sea, on the sea. Sailing just makes me happy!
- My friends – even if I don’t see them enough, esp. the ones who have moved away, but it makes me happy being able to keep in touch with them, even if it’s just a quick hello on FB.
- Jim – he drives me mental with his love of football and insisting on using all the pans when cooking and tickling my feet, but when he’s not – he’s pretty cool! And if I have had a bad day, he is always there with a hug to make it better!
- Can I have an 11th? If I can, it would be BAD TV. The Hills, The City, Glee, those sorts of shows – the ones Jim just rolls his eyes at me watching – but lets me because he watches ALL the football and knows it’s easier to just not question it.
And the blogs that make me happy;
- Sam – she has only just started blogging again – we are doing a 29 things before we are 30 list, as our birthdays are within a week of each other! Someone to share the pain with.
- Liz – she needs to get back on her blog, but when she was posting, it was ace to be able to keep up with her life in Londres.
- Katie – She has been my friend since before I can remember, that’s an achievement right there!
- Hei Astrid – she makes me want to go back to Norway with her beautiful pictures!
- Notebook doodles – perfect little doodles and wise words!
- Green Island Studios – Beautiful Images of Cornwall. She makes me yearn for the sea and my summers there!
- Lobster and swan – stunning creations, and wonderful style.
- Nothing but bonfires – I want to move to San Fran and
- Unruly things – gorgeous style and gorgeous pics!
- Eat. Drink. Chic – check out the freebies and downloads – this girl is a crafty genius.
