  2. I like kittens and ice cream and sometimes I think about kittens eating ice cream and it makes me laugh until I vomit a little

  3. My boss told me I was doing an excellent job today and that they're very keen to keep me. They asked me what they could do to convince me to stay. I asked for a waterslide. No dice, but it was nice to hear a compliment and for hard work to be recognized. :)

  4. We went to a presentation today from a company that was randomly owned by Nestle. They gave us free ice cream and and chocolate bars...I was ridiculously excited. I think it's amazing that at our age (or any age) we can still get a lot of joy out of something small like a free $0.75 treat!

  5. I got home today and my kitten rolled over like he was a puppy asking me to scratch his belly. So I did.

  6. My boyfriend and I had a tickle match that made me feel like a kid again. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time.

  7. I had a brief moment of bliss on the way home from school where I completely forgot about the pile of work I have to do. It was truly awesome. Also my dog is way cooler than Chandler's cat. Yeah, thats right, I said it.

  9. This past week was "Pain Week" for UofT healthcare professionals (a week devoted to learning about pain management) where students from a wide variety of healthcare faculties work together for the common good of the patient.
    I found it super cool to pour my experiences into such a rich pool of knowledge resulting from the fruits of so many healthcare backgrounds in order to provide the best care possible for those in pain.
    It was like being a member of the X-Men ^^

  20. I went to a wedding on Saturday where I didn't know many people. Throughout the night I met some really nice people and we had a good time. This week a lot of those people I hung out with for the first time sent me friend requests on facebook. It was the highlight of my week.

  21. Threadless.com has such funny t-shirts. I saw one with a robot panda on it and told my boyfriend : "Robot Panda. My favorite thing mixed with my least favorite thing." Pandas are dumb, but adaorable when they're babies. Robots are just plain awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Three friends I haven't met in ages sent me links and talked to people to try and help get me a job this morning, none of which I knew well enough to be obliged to help me out. They didn't have to do that, and I appreciated it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I realized today that I only have 4 weeks left of school! That made me so happy I actually cried a little...

    ReplyDelete
  24. I saw a girl walking through Kensingnton with two dogs, a rottweiler (chilling without a leash) and a little pug dog on a leash. When they crossed Spadina, the big old rottweiler grabbed the leash halfway down and helped walk the pug across the street safely, it was pretty cute

    ReplyDelete
  25. A friend of mine applied for a grant, but she didn't think she would get it. She calld me once she found out that she got it, and was so happy it was contagious.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My boyfriend made me chocolate chip cookies : )

    ReplyDelete
  27. Pork ribs, onion rings, coleslaw, pulled pork, smoked brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, microbrews and Jack Daniels. All for free. Add that all up amd you've got yourself a one-way ticket to happiness (and indigestion).

    ReplyDelete
  28. I saw some doucheface take a spill on a dance floor full of dolled out girls. I believe the Germans call that Schadenfreude.

    ReplyDelete
  29. at work a customer came up to the counter and said that her 11 year old son had asked if the 'special girl' (me) could make his special drink (something off-menu that i'd created for him a couple weeks ago). it's nice to feel special :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I got my paycheque this week. What more can I say.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I talked to folks on the phone today, got some great advice for the end of the year and into the real world. I always like to check up with my family, they've always been there for me and I want to be there for them.

  38. I listened to a debate featuring Richard Dawkins, and John Lennox, ( Possibly the most influential Christian and Athiest/Agnostic writers of our time) on the existence of god.
    Despite my own predispositions on the subject, I was so seriously stoked to be reminded that the nature of our existence is important to many more people than I often think.

    In short, it made me wear some major pleased eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I got to spend part of the day randomly with my sister. We didn't do anything super special, just watched some TV, played some video games and talked. I don't get to see her as much since she's married now, and it felt really nice to just act like we were kids again.

    ReplyDelete
  40. This week something that made me happy was the guy I liked wanting me to be with him on his birthday. We have completely different groups of friends, and neither of us fit into the others 'scene', but he'd rather hang out with me than all the other people who wanted to see him. He invited me out with him and 2 of his closest friends, they were nice even though were really different.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Instead of working on essays the other day, I made lots of cookies for a couple of my classes at school, just because I could. Baking randomly for other people always makes me happy (so does procrastination)!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am going to Greece in 9 days.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Waking up super early with a little baby isn't so easy when you both have been up all night. So 5am comes early. Sometimes you hear them cry and think, " oh god i gotta get up , when will he sleep though the night?". But then you walk over to his crib and he notices you and flashes the biggest toothless smile.... suddenly you can't help but smile back. :D its really a wonderful way to start the day. I wonder how I ever started my day before he was born.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I decided to throw my friend a baby shower! Yayyy!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I got paid today! That definitely made me happy!
    Oh and the thought of going out dancing with the girls tonight!

    ReplyDelete
  46. i woke up with a song by the national in my head.
    i always know it is going to be a good day when that happens.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have been really depressed lately since my boyfriend and I have to part ways in only just one week. I have spent the last few months crying and being really depressed, and after another one of our serious talks and a little cry I tried to cheer us up with a tickling fest and then we made love. Even though this is a hard thing to go through, little moments like that give me hope for the future.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Reading all of your happy moments has really made me happy :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. sex made me happy this week

    ReplyDelete
  51. realizing there is only 3 more weeks of school till I'm done..... ah bliss!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I felt intimately connected with someone as we spoke over a candlelit dinner. My friend drew me mathematical diagrams and I felt free to express my own small frustration without feeling trivial.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I booked a holiday for my mom and I and got wickedly cheap airfare to Europe and a sweet deal on a River Cruise through my company...this might just be the toughest time we've ever been through in travel, and I might be stressed out of my ying yang, but the travel perks are always there to help de-stress...PLUS - my mom REALLY needs a break and it makes me VERY happy that I can take her with me! Can I say that it made my mom VERY happy too? That's like a double whammy of happiness in one week!

    ReplyDelete
  54. umm my best friend lives 6 hrs away for school and so to make up for the distance we talk on webcam everyday..its a nice break from the stress of the day to be able to talk to her just like back in highschool especially when sshe does something hilarious. it always makes me happy that we have remained best friends even though there is distance between us. :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. For probably the first and then the second times in my life women actually asked me out on dates this week. That plus spring happening makes me super happy

  60. i have numerous things that make me happy. as thats how i generally tend to be or how people pervieve me - so this shouldnt be hard.

    i have a friend - a dear friend- who passed away and i know this shouldnt be a happy moment- but i found happiness knowing that i learned valuable lessons from him eventhough i never got to say good bye. i find happiness knowing hes in a better place and also with what happened i find happiness knowing he taught me to really value the people in my life because just like him, tomorrow they can be gone.

    i also find happiness in just speing time with friends and being in good company -hearing live music and just being myself- i truely apprecieate the fact that people out there who truely appreciate me for me- and dont judge me for all the silliness and creative girl i am.

    this is what makes me happy.

  61. This week I realized that I actually do have some friends who like me for who I am. Spending time with them is so much fun. I had recently been trying to jump through hoops for some other people who I had thought were my friends, but they only saw the things about me they didnt understand and they were always making me feel bad about who I am. Its very refreshing to know that there are people in life who would never look down on me for being myself. That makes me super happy.

    ReplyDelete
  62. i ate my lunch outside in the sun yesterday :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. i love the people in my program.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Watching my little girl playing with her dad and seeing the pure joy in both of their faces. Some days are tough, but that sight is more than enough to keep me going.
    Also, her first tooth poked through this week, and I bet it hurt like hell, but she took it like a champ. She's such a happy kid, seeing her face makes it hard to be sad.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Signing the lease for my new apartment made me happy this week :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Today for some reason I woke up at 6:30am without an alarm, and had the uncontainable energy of a 5 year old child on their way to Disney World.

    Since I wasn't going to Disney World, I rocked out to Sweet Child of Mine on my piano at approximately 7am. Now THAT is a happy day.

    ReplyDelete
  67. This week I helped out a complete stranger by replying to a wanted ad. A familly needed a stove so they could cook. I directed the man who posted the ad to my neighbour who had a stove for free to whomever picked it up. Apparently he was very happy to get a free stove since he was on a tight budget; and I was happy for being able to help him out.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Something that made me happy this week. Well I had my first show with my band tonight, and it went really well. That makes me happy, I sung everything mostly right. I'm also directing a play in my placement and it is coming along, however just being able to do drama with kids makes me very happy. So that is that. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Being 12 minutes out and having to run priority with all the warning signals to a 7 month year old who has falling from three feet and no other rigs are around to respond only to arrive to find baby is supine sucking her toes and all is well. False Alarms make me happy.

  72. Going to a best friends going away party, and to know that that best friend is really going to miss your friendship when you hear it from their closest family members and friends. Sad that I am going to miss them so much, but happy to know how much the friendship means.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I went for a long walk this evening, and it must have been the nicest day outside. There was a gentle breeze, but the sun and every other thing made it all the more better.

    I think just taking a calming and peaceful walk each and every day is something that makes me happy. It's just a chance to get away from all the noise.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Every chance that I get to bake makes me feel happy. Yesterday, I flipped through a recipe book and found one of my favorites: a delicious recipe for brownies.

    I spent the whole afternoon baking little treats to share. It put smiles on the faces of my family so it most certainly was something that made my week fantabulous.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  80. i got a message from a guy friend that i have become pretty close with, and he said: "i am glad we are best friends".
    it is out of nature for him to be open about emotions, so it was really nice to know that i have a legit male best friend with no sexual tension.

  82. A few friends and I grabbed some drinks, and the mandolin, and went out to open deck on a private-ish part of the ship to have a normal night of music playing. It was the closest thing to a normal night I've had in a long time.
