Happiness is...
having a great group of girlfriends, all incredibly different and unique, but alike in the qualities that really count: loyalty, respect, morals, the ability to consume mass quantities of alcohol, sing karaoke and talk for hours about nothing and everything at the same time.
Happiness is...
a great husband who puts up with your insane mood swings and your uncanny ability to constantly embarrass him in public.
Happiness is...
a great kid who is an odd mix of your weird sense of humor and your husband's sweet nature.
Happiness is...
watching someone you hate fall down a flight of stairs. (What? You really didn't think I was all that deep, did you?)
Happiness is...
being greeted by uncontrollably happy dogs when you walk in the door.
Happiness is...
a great hair day, a super cute outfit and some kick ass shoes.
Happiness is...
a big fat book, a snowy day, hot chocolate and a blanket to curl up in.
Happiness is...
introducing your kid to the magic that is "The Goonies".
Happiness is...
signing corny eighties songs with your husband in the car at the top of your lungs.
Happiness is...
looking at old pictures and not thinking about how incredibly thin you were, but remembering all the fun you had.
Happiness is...
introducing yourself to something new, something that you never even realized you needed in your life, but you did.
Happiness is...
knowing that you don't have much, but you have what you need.
I am watching the Goonies right now...I never tire of this movie!
