It’s Friday! I haven’t spread Friday cheer and sprinkles of gratitude in quite some time. Winter and holiday dismay has wrapped its nasty claws around me, so what better medicine than to be appreciative for all of the lovely things that bestow smiles unto me.
Christmas lights
Something about the twinkling, shiny strings of joy that are wrapped around everything and anything during the holidays. They make everything more cheerful.
Peppermint Mochas
There is nothing like a soy peppermint mocha and an intense sugar/caffeine rush to make you enjoy life.
Sweatpants fresh out of the dryer
mm–hmmm
Hyperbole and a Half
I LOVE this little lady. Go marvel at her outlandish humor and mad MS paint skills, combined. My favorites (and most relatable) are This is Why I’ll Never Be an Adult and The Four Levels of Social Entrapment.
Retro Fashion
Ok, so it is not a big secret that I love retro fashion. Lately I’ve been overcome with the desire to make modern versions of Scarlet O’Hara’s dresses in Gone with the Wind. I’ve also been drooling over the beaded, drop-waist dresses and fancy head wear on Boardwalk Empire. Oh, if only I could actually sew!
So what has made you happy lately? Come on.. let it spill. A grateful lady is a lucky one!

I’m happy for Sebastien comforting me during my 10 day PMS cycle that is getting worse with age. More and more work flowing from Pa Ballet. Hot apple cider. Tara Stiles. Red Wellies. Bon Iver. Having a car, even though it’s filthy and worth about $100 at this point. Thanks for opening me to hyperbole and a half, hilare!
Aw, yay! I’m new to your site, so I’ve never seen your Happy Friday series. What an awesome idea! The thing that makes me happy in the winter is how extra snuggly our two kitties get. They stick to use like glue and never stop purring this time of year.
Bon Iver <3
10 day PMS-fest </3
Maybe I exaggerated a tad, but that’s what it feels like these days :/
