Question Contest - 100 Things That Make Me Smile, Part Deux

by Sarah Gould

So, weeks ago Mad asked me about smiles. I listed 1-50 in what makes me smile, and here is 51-100 … kinda. My numbering was off and I didn’t want to correct it. Deal.

1. the monkey on my keychain. My friend Lynn bought these monKEYs and gave me the blue one … he makes me laugh
2. browsing fancy stationary online
3. feeling fabrics (all but velvet/velveteen/velour/courduroy) at the fabric store
4. talking craft-talk with my friends
5. an empty & clean kitchen sink
6. when my ice-maker dumps it’s tray (MissMiss will understand this one … when we’re IM’ing and my ice tray dumps I always write: “ooooooh! more ice!!!”)
7. speaking of MissMiss, cute socks make me smile
8. my air-freshener I bought with MissEnnPee, I’m not in my car enough to enjoy it full there, so I put it in my bathroom. LOL *shrug* It works!
9. completed cross-word puzzles, 1,000-piece-puzzles, and all other word puzzles. I don’t give a rats patooty about number puzzles though.
10. 105.1 The Buzz … their morning show NEVER fails to make me laugh.
11. driving with the window down - I’m cheap & never use the AC and so it’s a damned good thing I like this!
12. cracking the spine on a brand new book. Some people deliberately try not to do this … I LOVE to do it. :)
13. the word “pompelmuese” - in German it means grapefruit … I don’t particularly like grapefruit, but I do love the German word
14. LOLCats … I Can Has Cheezburger makes me howl some days.
15. my nails when they’re long-ish
16. the recycling letters; “HDPE” … while as an adult I know it stands for high density polyethylene, growing up I swore it meant “help dumb people everywhere” and that my milk carton was just trying to better the world
17. sore muscles from dancing
18. dancing the Samba … seriously, it’s FUN … and seriously, I look JUST like that when I do it! LOL
19. white hoodies … I don’t know what it is about ‘em, but they make me happy. I own three of them.
20. telling people I’m going back to school - I’m really proud of this fact
21. stargazer lilies
22. Justin Timberlake … he makes me more than smile … he makes me swoon (the concert was great, btw)
23. the song Rockstar
24. little kids who haven’t quite mastered running … they just kinda amble quickly
25. my mom bloggers … I love reading about little kid antics
26. comfortable underwear
27. comfortable PRETTY underwear
28. gift cards
29. seeing feeds to read in Google reader
30. iGoogle - thank you Talana for showing me the greatness that is iGoogle!
31. Apricot Pyramid beer - right after Black Butte Porter, I’ve learned this is a favorite!
32. long hot showers
33. sleeping in
34. falling asleep to music
35. click of high heels on hardwood (one thing I will miss from this job)
36. Beavers football! I think I get to go to the Stanford game this year!!!
37. using Facebook/MySpace to catch up with old friends
38. the idea of changing my last name
39. dresses that spin out when you turn quickly
40. bright pink toenail polish
41. new purses … who doesn’t like a new purse?
42. The Best of CraigsList - especially the few & far between Portland ones
43. Jon Stewart quotes
44. alliteration … oh how happy hearing h’s makes me
45. Judy Garland songs … Julie Andrews songs … Marlene Dietrich songs … I have a thing for older singers apparently
46. some boys … yeah, there are a few who make me smile. Most of them are married or gay though. That makes it even nicer for me.
47. NOT dating. I’m really enjoying this being single and not feeling the need to date thing!

49. making new friends thanks solely to 451Press - thanks guys
