This place makes me happy, too. Plenty of free entertainment! I had a lovely day grocery shopping, having lunch with DH and his clients, and after watching my daily episode of Rosemary and Thyme on netflix, finished a 2 page sketch that I had never done before and I am pleased with the way it turned out. All that followed by a dinner with DH and we watched another of our favorite netflix series, Doc Martin.
I'm so impressed with that run on sentence that I'm just going to leave it and hope the grammar police don't open happy threads.

Yesterday (Friday) I took the day off work - ALWAYS a happy thing! - so I could watch my son play district soccer at school. Then I went to the football with my dad and our team won by a whopping 138 points. This morning I watched DS play basketball and now I am home Peaing with a coffee and some cake, which is my favourite way to start the weekend!
Thanks you for starting a happy thread. You always some across as a happy and positive person happymomma.

We just found out that my kids got a last minute invitation to attend camp. It's a sponsored camp for military kids and we applied a few months ago and were put on a waitlist. I'd given up hope that they would get in, but we just found out that there were a few more spots and we'll be there this Sunday. This is just what we needed since DH deployed a couple of weeks ago. Plus, it gives me some time to be completely alone ...something I haven't had in years!

I know this is NSBR, but I still scrap and recently redid my scrap room. I had ordered some bookshelves to hold my albums and they came in today! And DH put them together without being nagged! And they were so easy to assemble that we didn't end up in a huge fight!

When DH picked me up at work, we stopped at Dairy Queen for peanut buster parfaits on our way home! Now you're speaking my language! I had Dairy Queen the other day for the first time in years! Frozen hot chocolate with peanut butter. Oh my! I crashed so hard and got sick from all the sugar but it was nothing short of bliss going down!

I really like thismhappy thread.
I do miss the dear at themoldmhouse but I really love our new house and our little back yard.
Today our landscaper friend came over to put new sod in where we destoyed the grass when we did the pad for the hot tub and dug the hole for the electric conduet. He brought his wife which I hadn't seen in many years. It was fun. We sat on the back patio while her husband worked on thenyard. We helped him when we needed help but we had a fun day working and not working. We put a couple rows of small pavers down next to the hot tub pad before he laid the sod. It really is nice not having all that kud any more. And the pavers and grass look really nice.
Here is Pearl and Skip checking out the new grass.

It's Friday! We went to grab a quick dinner when DH got home & then went to the mall to find DH another pair of swim trunks. While he was trying them on DS kept running between DH's dressing room and where I was sitting in a chair just outside the dressing rooms. Every time he ran by me he came up and gave me a big kiss on the lips. Totally cute!

We picked up dinner at a casual restaurant on the way to the pool tonight. The order came out exactly as it should have ~ three burgers, three different ways ~ and it was delicious (plus we had a $10 off coupon ~ SCORE)! My DD had been unsuccessful in finding a friend to join us at the pool, but we pulled into the parking lot just behind a friend of our family. Her DD was already at the pool with two friends, but they welcomed DD, and the four of them had a great time together. Anyone who knows tweens knows just how magical that was! Oh, and after a summer of rain, the weather was perfect for an evening swim. So happy!

My youngest's birthday is tomorrow. I love my job and my co-workers DH realized the other night that while the promotion has been good for us financially, it was starting to be so many hours it was taking a toll. He was supposed to work tonight and Sunday night which would mean he would need to sleep all day tomorrow on DS's birthday and on Sunday which is DS's friend's birthday party. DH worked it out so he will be off by 1 am tonight and able to participate in anything DS wants to do tomorrow AND he got Sunday off to help with the party. Most importantly he realized it and did it ON HIS OWN. My kids worked together to meet a goal

I was able to have a very simple, no fuss lunch at the mall food court with a dear colleague and friend that I am leaving as I move back home to the states. It took place on Friday (24th) and I leave today on the 25th... so happy we were able to squeeze in one last long chat. What made me feel even better was when I texted if she was still available for getting together she replied, "I am available for breakfast, morning coffee,lunch,afternoon tea, drinks, dinner or all of the above" was nice to feel like she actually wanted to see me :-)

I'm happy today that I made it to our vacation destination in spite of my ridiculous anxiety disorder! And my oldest daughter and I had a hysterical laughing fit at dinner watching a couple have an inappropriate-for-public groping session at the table next to us.
He kept putting his hand down the back of this woman's very short shorts...until he finally just settled for his hand in her back pocket--squeezing. Ugh!
If I knew how to post a photo I would post the stealth one I took and texted to my 19 year old with a note that said '"for posterior-ty"...we kinda love puns and wordplay.

I wasn't able to go to our 30th class reunion last weekend due to being 2 weeks post op. One of my classmates & I were going to meet for coffee but decided on dinner instead. She invited a few others to join us for a mini reunion. It was so thoughtful of her & we had a great time.

Well, yesterday when you started the thread (great thread, by the way! ) I was happy because we went to our local pub as we often do on a Friday evening and both our DDs pitched up, independently, and we all had a drink and a lovely natter together. I'm always chuffed when they choose to spend time socially with us 'old folk' Today, Saturday, I'm happy because I slept through the night without being woken up by shoulder pain as I have been the last few nights. That feels nice

I was happy yesterday evening (Friday) because my DD arrived with some totally unexpected gifts for me after having been on a visit to a very large shopping mall about 30 miles away....it was just nice to think that she had thought of me whilst shopping for items for herself. I'm happy today because all the shopping for the next few days is done, the laundry is almost finished - and we are going out to dinner tonight, so no cooking today!

Great thread! I am happy because dd22 made it home safely after a 2 week trip to Colorado and Utah. Also happy because of the great stories she told about her trip. She was with several of her adult cousins and their kids. So happy because this is the first weekend in forever where Dh and I don't have a "to do" list! Woohoo! !!

Two things made Friday happy: Dh got one of our bigger hayfields cut without any equipment problems, and that is always a good thing! The weather looks good so he should be able to rake and bale it and get the hay in the barn before any rain. I was invited to play music in a small jam with three friends last night. We had the best time, guitars, fiddle, mandolin and lots of singing. Definitely my happy place!

It's still pretty early here, but I'll tell you what will likely be happy for today: Today is my birthday. A funny tradition happened in my family that the birthday boy/girl gets to pick the agenda and have a special day. My kids and I have done it for years, and the things that the kids picked for their special day was often pretty funny. My youngest always included a trip to the ice cream place and the book store, my oldest always wanted to go to one of the Disney Parks. Anyway, today is my day. My mom adopted this idea and I get to pick the agenda for the day. We are going to a craft fair, lunch at Smokey Bones, probably Target and possibly a fabric store. Weird, right? But for me, it's more about spending the day with my mom-which is where the what will make me happy part comes in.

I'm sure your DD could teach you! That must have been disgusting and hilarious at the same time. Happy birthday anxiousmom ! I hope that you have a great day with your mom!

What a happy thing to wake up to, all the new happy posts here!
Today I'm happy because my husband and I are going on a little road trip to the Harley dealer a few hours away. They're having a big party there and a motorcycle show. We love looking at other bikes and I love shopping for cute HD clothes!
We aren't taking the bike, but the car. My husband stood guard at a fellow Veteran's funeral yesterday and is sooo sore, so not able to ride. That too makes me happy because can relax a bit more in the car. And...more room than the saddlebags in case I want to do some shopping at the outlet mall in that town!
I'm also happy because I belong to Perfectly Posh and our new products were just announced and they are available to buy! I'm so addicted to that stuff, I'm like a kid at Christmas today!
Lol, I just realized this post is mostly about buying stuff! Which is funny because I'm the most frugal person I know. Gotta splurge every once in awhile though, and I will be HAPPY to today!
Keep posting! I'll be checking this when I get home and that will make for a happy evening.
Have a Sunshiney Saturday!!!

We just started our 2 month Washington DC adventure (we're from the "other" Washington) and so far I'm loving it! What an amazing city. Thanks to all the peas who responded to my "What to do in DC" thread a few months back, we're enjoying great food and sights. The only thing I'm not happy about is the weather! Too hot and humid for this Seattle girl.

I'm happy today because DH's brothers are coming over in a few minutes to move our furniture back in the house after the flooring install. Yay!
Now I have to run put on a bra and comb my hair...

It's the weekend and my favorite SIL is in town. We don't get to see her very often because she lives in California. We'll be getting together today to eat, hang out at the pool, and visit.
