Happiness 101

It's time for an award again. The phenomenal blogger and bloggy friend, Thom of Thom's Place 4 Well Whatever bestowed upon me this Happiness Award. Thank you, Thom. I like awards that are a way to highlight things that make me happy. This is so nice of you. I appreciate this very much.


Here are the suggestions:

1. Link the blogger who gave you the award on your post...
2. Write 10 things that make you happy...
3. Share it with at least 10 friends...Have fun!

Ten Things That Make Me Happy:
i. my boys, biological CJ and canine Mozart
ii. rustic charm
iii. the absence of pressure from my job on my personal life
iv. playing the piano
v. not having to cook dinners when I don't want to
vi. internet
vii. reading: libraries, bookstores, books, museums
viii. travelling / sightseeing
ix. blogging
x. real friends, online and offline

An extra:
xi. the third suggestion from this award makes me happy too. It is a suggestion, not a rule. Therefore I won't be breaking any rule if I passed this award on to just half of the suggestion, but all lovely and wonderful lady bloggers:

Awwwww! Hazel Crongrats to the 200th power! And thank you for so kindly passing it on to me too! You are very dear!

Your list is wonderful. Of course number 1 is awesome, and two very cute boys you have too! I also fully agree with traveling!

Have a beautiful day!

LOL! Thom, you shoould see me laughing when you pull my leg. But the roman numerals chaos was not cleverness. I absolutely misplaced my brain again last night. It's already corrected.

kalea_kane, thanks. Travelling is so much fun. I should have worked with it in mind since 1993. Ah well, one country at a time now.

Watch out for the urchin

Friends and I went island-hopping last year. My phone was changing indications of where we were several times. Names are difficult to read, much less remember. The main island where we hopped from is called Koh Chang or Elephant island. We went to five islets each taking about 15 minutes to reach. In a stop one of my friends encountered a sea urchin. They say a pee would cure the sting. I don't know if it's true. Another thing I heard about urchins is they could sense and would crawl towards human presence. Probably for more prickly attention? Although sometimes paradise has a price, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, the weather perfect and the breeze was just what our city-dwelling lungs needed. All is well. *** My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia

Genebei invited me to do this picture tag. I must admit I had a lot of fun doing this. It took me a long time though to find Google images that are royalty free or NOT subject to copyright. I don't mean to be boring but I have to be wary of this thing. When I searched for photos I did type copyright free photos of .... (I claim no ownership of these images. I am not in any way selling or earning from these photos). Now for the instructions: "Use Google image to search the answers to the questions below. You must choose a picture from the first page of the results, and post it as your answer." 1. The age of my next birthday 2. Place I'd like to travel to 3. Favorite food 4. Favorite place 5. One of my nicknames 6. Favorite color 7. College major 8. Name of my love 9. Hobby 10. Bad habit 11. My wish list Have fun everyone! --------- I mean innocent fun :)

Pretentious Diet

Our Weekend Memoirs: Dieting on Eggs Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The chinese guy selling noodles in front of 7 Eleven also sells eggs. I wanted to buy some but he was busy with his customers and I couldn't wait. Back in front of the pc, a recent report that Margaret Thatcher's pre-election victory diet included 28 eggs a week had me reading more than I normally would big news. She is said to have told an interviewer that she had "no special dieting regime." Her pocket diary, which was released by the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust seems to have revealed otherwise. But don't we all sometimes like to keep others wondering? The Iron Lady's husband though gives it to us straight and cool. When asked "who wears the pants in this house?" He replied, "I do. And I also iron them." This anecdote is exactly what I thought of while my southeast asian ass err... blood was quivering in the London cold as I stood on this famous street. Then M...
