My Happy Place

Because I’m having a really bad week, a list of some things that makes me happy: (in no particular order)

The smell of crayons • Autumn Apple body lotion from bath & body works • Clayton’s hugs • The Vito sub from Jimmy Johns • an ice cold coca cola • rainy days spent snuggled in bed • snuggling, reading books to the Clay-man • going to the library • Target • chick flicks • Cheese dip while watching football on a clear crisp fall day • shoe shopping • my mommy’s meatloaf • watching Sesame Street on Saturday morning in my bed, with Clayton using me as a pillow • lists • unfrosted brown sugar pop tarts • nachos • extra fine tip markers • useless trivia • Bon Jovi • grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup • the smell of live Christmas trees • the glow of candles • reality television • Clayton’s laughter • music from my youth • freshly washed sheets • playing board games • ice cream • tulips • Christmas time • football • the leaves changing colors in the fall • live theatre • super hot French fries • the feel of my legs when they are freshly shaved • down comforters • Toms Ramen Noodles from Tom Folleries • baked potato soup • street fairs • new pajamas • the way Clayton smells after a bath • margaritas • hot, cheese falling off the crust pizza • chips and salsa • the smell of rain • sleeping with the windows open •
