Here’s a quick list of things that are making me happy lately.
1. This child:
I love him more than I ever expected to be able to love a child.
Because of that, I’m kind of nervous to have children of my own. I mean, what if I never do love my own kids as much as I love my sister’s little boy? That would be a little awkward.
2. That child’s little flat (and filthy) feet.
I have always thought flat feet were awesome. In miniature, they’re even better (as is the case with most things in life).
This is an awesome website (for Canadians only—sorry, Americans! {but not that sorry, because HELLO, you guys get way more deals than Canadians do [the price of cheese alone up here is enough to make me gag every time I go to Costco]}) that announces any and every smashing good deal in the country. There’s also some cool forums, like coupon deals, brag sections, and company reviews. If you’re living in Canada, you shouldn’t be going a day without checking this website.
I know, everybody who’s anyone probably already knows about this website. I discovered it last month, and my Google Reader has been overflowing ever since. These guys update pictures of inspiring home decor and architecture, and they do it all day. Every day. It’s exhausting, and I’ve been guilty of “marking all as read” on more than one occasion, but…I’ve also got a huge file of style inspirations growing bigger by the minute. Check it out!
5. This blog. Specifically, this post.
These guys (a young married couple) are living one of my dream lives (I have, like, twenty dream lives). They up and moved to Boston. Boston! Just like that! And for fun, they take little day trips to, oh, you know, Maine. For fresh seafood. *Sigh*
Also, they did an awkward vintage photo shoot together before leaving Arizona. Because those adorable ’40s and ’50s vintage photos are becoming way too trendy. I love that.
Wanna hear a funny story? I saw (and sort of met) M at the United Blog Order gathering back in May, but she came to meet the other blogger hostess, not me; plus, she was so pretty, I decided she was much too cool for me, and didn’t even say hi. How lame is that? As soon as I got home, I read her blog, decided she was cool, and begged her to be my friend.
Well, that’s all I’ve got time for today (we’re off on a day trip adventure), but I’ve enjoyed this journey into the happy things I’ve found online lately. I’ll probably do it again soon.
And by all means, if there’s something interesting online you think I’d like to know about, do tell.
