oh my! that's just the best thing!!!Enjoying a book to the extent that I don't want to put it down, guessing the ending only to find that there is a twist that I would never have imagined.
I am happy to show off my slabs!Oooh! That's drop-dead gorgeous! Let's see more!
oh, wow!!! i hadn't known that! and that's really very cool too!I'll tell you one specific movie-related thing that made me happy recently.
I found out that there's a 1933 adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland". Cary Grant is in it, at the beginning of his film career, and they've stuffed him in the Mock Turtle costume. You can't even see his face (just a few years later, they'd never be able to get away with hiding Grant's face.) I HAD to see that.
I started smiling the moment he walked onscreen, it was just that ridiculous. But by the end of his scene, I was practically grinning ear to ear. Why? Because Grant took a one-note character with a bulky costume and turned in what is easily the best performance in the movie. All of the other actors seem a bit wooden, but it's like he was determined that audiences remember him. Made me really happy to see that.
mmmmm......soup!!! truly a wonderful thing!!
Because I make them from scratch they are always different. If I don't eat a soup every morning I just don't feel right.mmmmm......soup!!! truly a wonderful thing!!
my, those look like delicious soups you made!
the Art Institute during the cool/cold weather, and the Botanic Garden during the warm/hot weather!!! very nice!!This is a toss up for me, i.e. living in an area where we get four seasons but mostly winter and summer I'd have to give two answers, one for indoors and another for outdoors.
Indoors - Art Institute
Outdoors - Nature (Botanic Garden)
a long bike ride in cool weather!!! most excellent!!A long bike ride in perfect cool weather-always lifts my mood.
a nice long walk on the beach!!! that's sounds great!!A nice long walk along the beach.
listening to music with your iPod Classic!!! very nice!!Listening to music. It was a sad day when my iPod Classic died last year. I hate listening to music on my computer or my phone, and carrying around an old CD Walkman is cumbersome, so things weren't the same until I found another iPod Classic at a yard sale this spring.
old movies, it sounds like especially those on TCM!!! really great!!Old movies, but I do not have cable any longer for the TCM network. However, I love the old movies!
@Katie M , I love the old movies with Cary Grant, the one that comes dearly to mind is Arsenic and Old Lace.
swimming, and peach ice tea!!! most excellent!!Mines pretty simple but I love swimming and a good refreshing peach ice tea
Oh, that's my favorite Halloween movie [/QUOTE]@Katie M , I love the old movies with Cary Grant, the one that comes dearly to mind is Arsenic and Old Lace.
ahhh, naps -- especially with a kitty or two snuggled up with you!!! that sounds like sheer heaven!!Recipes please!!
My answer is naps- preferably with a kitty or two snuggled up with me.
reading books!!! very nice!!
I am usually reading 2 or 3 books at the same time, I can't imagine not reading. I feel sad for anyone who hasn't discovered the joys of reading.
As for having the time to savor it...that is another issue entirely.
medium-length road trips, while listening to Queen!!! that sounds great, and very relaxing!!There's lots of things that make me happy, but number one on the list has to be:
Medium-length road trips (one hour max. or else it's too boring!) with Queen on the CD or cassette player.

craft fairs!!! really very nice!!Craft fairs! My Mom and I have an annual one we go to thats coming up. I look forward to it like a kid at Christmas! We browse basically every booth and it's usually in 2-3 buildings. It's just neat to see the things people come up with.
One of these years I'm going to come home with a wooden cabinet. There are several vendors there every year and there is just something about hand-made furniture and decorations. My Grandpa made a lot over the years. So one day! I also get my favorite soaps there. Handmade soap feels SO nice! And my skin doesn't dry out as much with it.
That was one of my mother's favorite movies along with the Ghost & Mrs. Muir. I'm not a movie person but those are two movies I watch when I see them on TV.Oh, that's my favorite Halloween movie
