What makes me happy?

Someone asked me this question once in my life and it struck me hard today!
It has been a rough week. We (Gary, Isaac, and I) just spent a week at my moms, on vacation. With out a whole lot to worry about and it being so warm, we spent everyday outside next to the pool (don't get to excited, it was one of those 2 ft kiddie pools. But a pool nonetheless) we played outside, in the water, in 95 degree weather. So being back home, where it's cold, and there's dishes, and laundry, it's hard to get back into the swing of things. I have been feeling very lazy, unmotivated, and annoyed. These 3 things all add up to one unhappy momma and we all know that "When Momma aint happy...(say it with me now) Aint NOBODY Happy!!!
So this morning as i was tearing up because i have 3 loads of dishes and about a bazillion loads of laundry to do, its cloudy, cold and depressing outside and I'm really REALLY sick of being in the dark when it comes to building the house (That's right...we STILL don't know anything of when we are starting that...more for another day). This particular question popped in my head. and after all day of thinking about it and finding all the small things today that have made me happy here it goes:

What makes Sonya happy?

*The way a bottle looks after it's been washed
*The way the carpet feels after it's been vacuumed (especially if Greg did it for me)
*The way Frito's taste with Taco Soup
*Ellen's Humor
*The sound of laughter
*Isaac's apology
*Silence of Nap Time
*Chocolate Milk
*Brownies
*The smell of freshly bleached Towels
*Hot showers
*The sound of the keys on the keyboard as I type
*Gary's laughter when he's not sure what he's laughing at
*Toasted English Muffins with strawberry Jam
*The smell and color of Lemons
*Milk Chocolate chips and Craisins
*Taking a Graham Cracker and dipping it in Betty Crocker Milk Chocolate Frosting and topping it with marshmallows
*Falling asleep with the tv on
*Movies
*A good tan...The kind that says, Yah...I spent the entire summer doing nothing but playing outside! Whatcha gonna do about it?!
*Traveling
*The thought of owning a good pair of patent peeptoe pumps...RED!
*The thought of Going out, on a Wednesday night, and turning every head because I look just that HOT!!!
*Going to a salon and getting my hair cut

That's all I've come up with today.
When your having a crappy day, this is what I want you to do.
When your brain is becoming filled with "woe is me" and "Seriously?! This kind of day again?!" Kick it out of your head and ask your self. "What makes me happy?"
