Hockey makes me happy (which is inconvenient since the NHL is locked out right now, but at least I have the AHL)!!
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:10 pm
Giveaways make me happy!!! Oh wait… that's lame. Playing board games with a glass of wine and cheesy 90's music playing in the background… THAT makes me happy!
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:12 pm
Bah, I can't connect via twitter. I'm @notforbreakfast on twitter though, not "undefined" π

There will be three new babies in my family in 2013 and that makes me so happy!
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:18 pm
Hmm twitter didn't work? hopefully this will! anyway, my comment was that there will be three new babies in my family in 2013 and that makes me so happy!
October 23rd, 2012 at 10:04 pm
Hooray!! Triplets, or three individual births? Either way, yay!!
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:18 pm

Cooking makes me happy, even if I don't wind up eating half of the stuff I make π
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:21 pm
Kitties make me happy! Just at this moment, I'm thinking of the stray tomcat that adopted us. This Thursday will mark four years since he became an indoor cat, and officially ours. π
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:26 pm
My wonderful children and husband make me happy.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:27 pm
Reading makes me happy, because when I am stressed it takes me to a different place.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:27 pm
Reading, and my kidlet make me happy. And chocolate, and Irish Breakfast tea with vanilla creamer, and about a billion other things…
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:27 pm
What makes me happy is when my nails turn out pretty when painting the nails on my dominate hand. It's the small things that make me happy.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:28 pm
Holidays make me happy. Everyone acts all extra special and excited. It’s great.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:28 pm
Completely random happiness this morning: I was resetting my iPhone (it fell into a mop bucket of cab yesterday at a winery–but that's a random UNHAPPY story) and the television was on a ski movie called "Warren Miller's Winter Playground" on MPlex TV. The movie mentioned Whistler BC where we vacation a bunch and I looked up in time to see my son–at least the seven-year-old version of him–lugging his first pair of skis up a hill with a bunch of ski school kids. I was SHOCKED. There was a lump in my throat. I never knew about this footage until I saw it. (And yeah… I logged onto Amazon and bought a copy of the DVD right away.) BTW, I hope that your day goes better.
October 23rd, 2012 at 10:04 pm
That's so cool!
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Connecting the teens I work with to a book that they love = pure happiness! And singing along loudly with good music in my car π
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Harry Potter, Doctor Who, & chocolate make me happy. π
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Seeing my family makes me happy! My Little Pony makes me happy! Ace-ing a paper makes me happy!
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:57 pm
I get a boost of happiness from accidental, random coincidences. Like when my underwear matches my bra or Sam’s Club has free samples of the fancy cheeses.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:58 pm
New books from my favorite authors make me happy! π Soft things, green things, my roommate's cat, mac and cheese, David Tennant…
October 23rd, 2012 at 7:00 pm
When a shopping quest ends in success! And chocolate, chocolate is always good.
October 29th, 2012 at 2:59 pm

October 23rd, 2012 at 8:35 pm
Also, Smurfs and the Magic Flute is now available on Netflix. Evening complete.
October 23rd, 2012 at 8:44 pm
I made my own TARDIS costume for Halloween this year. I’m super happy about that. This is even more impressive if you know how absolutely horrible my sewing skills are!
October 23rd, 2012 at 10:05 pm
Way to go!
October 23rd, 2012 at 8:57 pm
Hearing my 9 year old reading to my 4 year old makes my cup run over.
October 23rd, 2012 at 9:54 pm
When my 20 year old daughter calls me from college, just to talk.
October 23rd, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Awww…
October 23rd, 2012 at 10:08 pm
Reading with my kids makes me happy.
October 23rd, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Writers taking about writing makes me happy. π
October 23rd, 2012 at 11:22 pm
The opportunity to sit back and suspend my disbelief by venturing into a fictional world makes me happy.
October 24th, 2012 at 1:04 am
Sitting in front of my bookshelf makes me happy. Just looking at the journeys I've been on, and can revisit whenever I want π
October 24th, 2012 at 1:27 am
Having the opportunity to study abroad in England this year makes me indescribably happy. That, and reading for fun.
October 24th, 2012 at 4:34 am
What makes me happy: reading, when my students really *get* something or turn in a great writing piece, my dogs, my house, a great night out with friends, social media (which can also cause some unhappiness but that's another story), online friends, writing, listening to music, Doctor Who and other SciFi geekery…
Guess I'm a glass-half-full kind of girl!
October 24th, 2012 at 4:57 am
Rain makes me happy. The sound, the smell. While the people around me are cursing it, I'm smiling. π
October 24th, 2012 at 5:35 am
NaNoWriMo makes me happy. Crazy (ok, crazier), but happy. π
October 24th, 2012 at 6:27 am
Oh this is great! I definitely could use something to make me happy….. like drinking tea on a cold October day, that really makes me happy π
October 24th, 2012 at 6:30 am
Chocolate chip cookies.
And it would totally make me happy to get an ARC of The Madness Underneath!
October 24th, 2012 at 6:31 am
Reading a book or watching a good show with a cup of coffee makes me happy! I’m also excited about the giveaway! π
October 24th, 2012 at 6:46 am
Holidays, cooking, reading, autumn, nerdy things, friends, the smell of books, matzo ball soup, and twitter ALL make me very happy.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:14 am
Clients eligible? Count me in!
Lazy days at home with the husband and kids make me happy. Oh, and easy-to-enter giveaways:)

October 24th, 2012 at 7:58 am
Baking things makes me happy! π Especially when said things involve pumpkin and make the house smell drool-worthy.
October 24th, 2012 at 10:54 am
Thank you for the giveaway!!
Fall is my favourite season, and it manages to make me happy every day, really. Even when I'm stuck at my desk, just looking outside at all the wonderful colours makes me feel better.
October 24th, 2012 at 1:51 pm
Has no one said Maureen Johnson books? Duh, guys, duh.
October 24th, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Puppies, English Accents, and Autumn Smells all make me happy, preferably when I can experience all of them at once (though I think it might be quite hard to find a puppy with an English accent to play with me).
The new Maureen Johnson would make me really happy too.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Watching the sunset on the beach makes me very happy. I lived in Florida for a year and I miss that quite a bit. It's very peaceful and beautiful.
And actual, physical books make me very happy too. Getting a new one is always a happy moment.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Whenever I need a quick cheer, I watch the youtube video of the little penguin who goes to the fish market by himself. Ah-dorable.
October 24th, 2012 at 11:40 pm
I keep a whole journal of things that make me happy so it's hard to choose, but one thing that makes me very happy is the rare times when I get to stay home all day, watch good movies, and cuddle with someone nice.
October 25th, 2012 at 6:45 am
Holidays and days off from work certainly make me happy!
October 26th, 2012 at 12:33 am
What makes me happy is that my childhood friend who I call my "little sister" asked me to be her maid-of-honor and I'm now in Nashville running timed trials of lacing up her dress.
October 27th, 2012 at 10:52 am
Things that make me happy right now–feeling the baby move inside me π No better feeling sometimes.
