This picture of Belle's face makes me Happy:

This picture of Belle made me laugh super hard since I am weird and find humor in completely random things. I think it's her "I'm so innocent" ears and wonky eyes that reminded me of the good ol' I Has a Bucket creature.

4/29 What Makes you Happy?

Leeanne sent in this joke:

A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, stating the following: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."

A short time afterwards, a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined.

Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, the dog looked determined, so he lead him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager.

The manager said "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair.

The manager was stunned, but then told the dog "the sign says you have to be good with a computer." The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to enter and execute a perfect program, that worked flawlessly the first time.

By this time the manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked at the dog and said "I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However, I *still* can't give you the job."

The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager said "yes, but the sign *also* says that you have to be bilingual."

The dog looked at the manager calmly and said, "Meow!"

MommaYoung says:

The smell of rain, my children's laughter, cuddly dogs, a good comedy, visits from my friends, the smell of pine in the morning air.

JB says:

Lots of things! My 2 kids laughing, my cats purring, getting into a warm shower on a cold day, the smell of honeysuckle. All tops on my happy meter!

Adorable.

I wanted to point out something that made me beyond happy: This little guy that was posted on CuteOverload :)

I don't even know what it is, but I am in love!

Going to the beach with my dog.

I recently took Belle to the beach for the first time. Let's just say- it made her happy. ha! I figured that since she liked to splash around in her water bowl when she was teeny tiny, she would love water on a larger scale, and I was right! She instinctively ran to the water and did her puppy stance to initiate playtime. What a day it was.

Candles make me happy! Their pleasant aroma fills my mind with memories of going to the beach (Heart of the Ocean), drinking coffee at grandma's house (Coffee Break), or spending Christmas with family (Home for Christmas). Simple pleasures make life wonderful!

Things that make me so happy....
Spending time with my mama and family...watching movies together, spending awesome evenings with my husband, my dogs and cats and guinea pigs and hamsters and fish...really thankful for each and everyone of them. Also, spending time with our feral cat colony. Everyday is a joy to be with them. God is GOOD!

ALL THAT said:

My Cyber Love
Not strikingly appealing, but oh so
alluring. Beckoning for mounds of my time,
And commanding loads of my attention.

Possessing a soft and mellow hum, and a
sweet sophistication. Easily accessible,
And an unrelenting companion. Responsive
and attentive to my very interest, graphically
and boldly keying into my senses.

Sometimes quick, sometimes not, and granted,
not always predictable. Ever-changing and
rearranging, sharing ups and sometimes downs.
Still, unequivocally, simply sends me,
fondly providing the ultimate satisfaction
to my click.

These are great!

My dog, Ralph. He is always there for me, with his unconditional love, even when I am in a bad mood. It cheers me up!

Christina sent in a joke:

A man is driving down the freeway with his two pet penguins when he gets pulled over by a cop for speeding. After the cop hands over the speeding ticket to the driver, he notices the 2 penguins. The cop informs the driver that he must take the penguins to the zoo. The driver agrees to do so.

Two months later, the same man is pulled over by the same cop for speeding. The cop notices the penguins again only now they are wearing sun glasses and eating ice cream. The cop says, "I thought I told you to take those penguins to the zoo." The man responds, "I did take them to the zoo, now I'm taking them to the beach."

Also,

Why did the little boy sprinkle sugar on his pillow before he went to sleep?
Because he wanted to have sweet dreams!

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

Cute Overload, anyone?

CuteOverload always makes me unbelievably happy. I must go to it at least once everyday. My friends know this- I received multiple copies of the CuteOverload calender for Christmas. Ha.
Speaking of cute...this picture of my puppy, Belle, always makes me happy.

June Says:

Filling up the bird feeders and watching them enjoy their food. They are so cute, they get a little,fly away and then come back for more. That always makes me feel happy.
