About Me

One of my favorite blog reads, Rockstar Diaries, has recently been posting "10 things that make me happy" series. This prompted me to start my own list of "happys." I started this blog after being inspired by the (embarrassing number of, to which I subscribe in my new obsession a.k.a. Google Reader) blogs that I do spend my time reading as a place to keep my thoughts, inspirational findings, and general ramblings. Somewhere along the way, I attracted a few readers. WOO HOO! (Thanks to all five of you). For those of you that I have not "met, " allow me to share a little bit about myself in the form of what I love (aside from all of you, of course).

What I love:

• 90’s music
• fall hayrides
• a good book that makes me sigh and look at the cover when I'm done reading it
• cuddling up on the couch with a warm blanket (no I do not own a Snuggie)
• buying cute and colorful office supplies
• caramel macchiatos
• the zoo (it's all happening there)
• Brady Bunch reruns
• Irish festivals and the Highland games
• hoodie weather
• Beverly Hills 90210
• Harry Potter
• chocolate, peanut butter, and both mixed together
