Knowing tomorrow is my last day of work. Sure, I have to go on a job search starting Monday, after we move and take a couple days to go through some boxes, but for as much as I used to love this job, I now have strong feelings it is time to move on to the next adventure.

Being in the same town as my childhood best friend, getting to see lots of him, and knowing he and hubby are steadily growing in their friendship. Knowing  my two best guys like each other is such a great feeling.

Seeing one of my best friends for the first time since I left the states 6 years ago and finding my dream bookshop, London Review Bookshop, next to the British Museum.

A hot shower, a fry up, and a 2 hour nap, after spending 3 days at a music festival -performing twice with my band for 2.5 hours each night- with some killer audiences-we had great energy!!!, plus camping, drinking, and all the usual malarky...and having an amazing-awesome time!!!  Really looking forward to my soft-comfortable pillow filled -non-ground bed too, which I will soon be climbing into.  Ahhh!

This does sound like happiness!   :D

My happiness is homemade vanilla peanut butter ice cream from the ice cream shop a couple of blocks away and the absolutely glorious weather that we've been having the past couple of days. I was sitting on my roof enjoying both!  :)

Pumpkin spice cappuccino. Now to wait for the slow trickle of pumpkin everything to hit the shops and restaurants.  ;D I am impatiently awaiting the pumpkin pie Blizzards at Dairy Queen.

Waking up early on my days off to drink coffee and read in bed with my kitty stretched across my lap and my fiance sleeping next to me. Or a maple syrup slushie...

Cooking a meal, and realizing how many of the things you used belonged to your mom, a grandma, or great grandma.

This made me almost cry :'( Just lost my Nana a couple of weeks ago, but I do this all the time. I think I'll do it more once we get moved.

For me, happiness is taking my 3 year old daughter out for Sushi, just the two of us. She's so adorable and we never get any time alone without her Dad and Sister. It was so nice.  Also, that kid can eat her weight in sushi and always cracks up the chefs and wait staff, lol.

Got one at the county fair, it was amazing! I had an apple cider slushy and maple cotton candy as well. All before noon too. I swear I only do this once a year. But yes if you can get your hands on one I highly recommend maple slushies.
