When I was in high school, I succumbed to general teenage angst and was a total drama queen (ok, sometimes I still am). \ud83d\ude42 Absolutely everything was A BIG DEAL and I made myself sad over nothing. *facepalm* My best friend Carmen used to cheer me up by giving me the daily calendar of 14,000 Things to Be Happy About<\/a> each year. Waking up to this every day reminded me that there are always good things in life no matter what. While I no longer “need” these calendars, I try to keep the sentiment alive by making sure I acknowledge and appreciate “the little things” — you know, the things that make me smile, SQUEE, and flail about in happiness. And I want to start sharing my happy things here. I’ll keep it to 5, though, not 14,000. \ud83d\ude00 So this week I’m happy about…<\/p>\n

1. 3- day weekends<\/b>
\nLast Friday wasn’t originally a company holiday but we got the day off at the last minute. WOOT.<\/p>\n

2. An unexpected trip to Vancouver<\/b>
\nRob and I have some United Airlines credit to use before the end of April so we figured we might as well go somewhere close by for a long weekend. Vancouver it is! We probably won’t have the extra money to go on vacations after we move so I’m excited about this quick trip.<\/p>\n

3. Finding little-known artists on iTunes – Ryan Hiraoka!<\/b>
\nWhen Rob and I were in Kaua’i for our mini-moon back in August ’08, we listened to the radio a lot in the rental car. The radio stations there played the same songs over and over again. Ok, I know most stations do this but seriously, it was about 10 times worse. Anyway, one song they kept playing was Ryan Hiraoka’s “Every Girl,” which I LOVED. When we got home, I looked for a download (legal!) everywhere but he was nowhere to be found. Even on iTunes. And sadly, I was too cheap to buy the full CD. Flash forward a year and a half and I randomly search for him on iTunes the other day and there he is! AWESOME. Here’s the song…<\/p>\n

4. Discovering a new app<\/b>
\nI wanted a new game for my iphone so I headed straight for the “top” app lists and found this AWESOME Skee-Ball<\/a> app. Skee-Ball is my favorite midway game so this app is perfect for me. And it’s only $0.99, which is totally worth it.<\/p>\n

5. Getting the Anthropologie<\/a> catalog in the mail<\/b>
\nAnthropologie<\/a> is my FAVORITE store. If my entire wardrobe came from there, I would be so happy. It’s pretty ridiculous how obsessed I am.<\/p>\n

So, what are YOUR happy things? Please share!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
