Weird things that make you happy
What are some weird things that make you happy?
I'm currently really really happy that I got FH's boss' card to this wholesale store (aimed somewhat to businesses dealing with food). Having that card allowed me to buy professional grade kitchen cleaner/disinfectant. It's a little more work to use than my regular squirt bottles, but I now know everything is fully disinfected like it would be in a restaurant kitchen after thorough cleaning.
For some weird reason this makes me immensely happy.
So GO!

Re: Weird things that make you happy
This is going to sound so awful, but watching FI lose at a board game/video game. Any time we play, he pretty much ALWAYS wins. Needless to say, this gives him a huge "gaming ego" so it's always kind of fun to see him lose lol.
*edit* This only applies to games that don't involve money. I like it when he wins at Poker and whatnot ; )

Circulars and coupons in the Sunday paper. I rarely make use of them, but I love sitting down and flipping through everything that's for sale and on sale. Even things from stores I don't buy from and things I don't buy!
Making lists on small pieces of paper and then crossing off completed tasks.
Another reason that leads me to believe we just may be heterosexual life partners.
I get giddy...overwhelmingly giddy over making lists on small pieces of paper and so gratifyingly crossing things off. Grocery lists, to do lists...DH makes fun of me for all the lists tucked around the house. I have a skinny magnet pad on the fridge that I have to refill every month with new paper.
Also, waking up before my alarm or exactly when I need to without an alarm. Makes my whole day go better for some reason. Extra points if it is on a round number.
Man, I sound totally OCD.

Oh, my hetero-bashert! Isn't it fun to find old lists and think back to where you were at that time? Yesterday I found a list of lawyers to contact for a divorce and smiled thinking back on how inspired I was! (yes I'm a freak)
Watching my dog circle and circle and circle once again before laying down in a tightly wrapped "Lucy ball" with a massive sigh.
I'm not big into kids (I mean they're fine, but I don't gush over them, as a general rule (I'm too busy gushing over my sighing dog)), but there's a nursery school/daycare right by where I work and sometimes the teachers take the little kids out for walks with this 'tether' thing (basically each little kid holds a plastic ring on a cord and the teacher holds the front of the cord). It always makes me smile. It's like a (cute) chain-gang of toddlers.
I'm also a big fan on lists. Sometimes, just for extra joy, I include things that I've already done just so I can cross some things off right off the bat. Pitiful.
I am so unbelievable jealous of you, with summer starting today instead of winter! Being happy about a summer morning sure doesn't sound weird to me, it makes me happy too!

Crossing off stuff on my lists. I have lists in every room of the house. To do lists, grocery lists, financial planning lists, craft lists... you name it. I'm a bit OCD about my lists.
The smell of coffee beans just after the bag is opened. It doesn't have the same effect if it's been open a day or two, or even after the beans are ground. I love the smell of coffee.
Having all of my pans organized in the cupboard. Most of the time I have to fight to keep the kitchen cupboards organized because of the sheer amount of crap we have. When it's all organized it makes me incredibly happy.
