Things that make me happy, day 2:

1) Canned spaghetti and meatballs

2) Picking the raffle winner for a prize at work (students filled out an
evaluative survey about the program I work for; one of them just won $100
for doing so)

3) "Happy Talk" earworm (Yes, bad earworms make me happy. Don't tell anyone.)

4) A job where "May I skip our weekly standing meeting to drive the
munchkin to the airport?" is *always* going to be answered with some
variation of "Oh, yes, of course, don't be silly!"

5) At least once a week (including today and this past Tuesday), a boss
tells me, "Now that *you're* here, we can $[Ambitious and moderately
important project they never had time/skills to get around to before]."

6) Annie Lennox on Daily Mayo, classily declining to respond to a listener
who said that patronizing do-gooders like her are largely at fault for the
AIDS crisis in South Africa, because they encourage people to depend on
others rather than solving their problems themselves.

what's an earworm?

I think it has been at least 24 hours since I told you how much I love you.

Earworm = song that gets stuck in your head(/ear)
Mindworm = text or idea that gets stuck in your mind

Love you, too! You're a joy to me.

Lurve!

(James: "You'll never hear that song the same way again." He says that like it's a bad thing.)

I have to crack up about #1 because I just saw an "EWWWW!!!" sort of discussion about them on Facebook. To each their own, and bring on the happiness!
