Eight Happy Thoughts...

I've been tagged! Lisa at A Shower Fresh Garden tagged me with the 8 Happy Thoughts meme. Much like Lisa, I've pulled the week from H - E- Double Hockey Sticks! I just checked my hours and as of Thursday night I am up to 60 hours for the week. YUCKY! It is really only the happy thoughts below that are keeping me going! I'm stealing some of Lisa's thoughts as well!

Here are the rules:
When tagged, you must link to the person who tagged you. Post these rules before your list, then list 8 thoughts that make you happy. At the end of your list, you must tag and link 8 other people.

1) Oxford, Mississippi. Ole Miss, Square Books, the Square. Rolling hills and green fields. Lovely lakes to walk by each morning.
2) Yocona River Inn. Mmm...Yocona filet and roasted mushroom ravioli.
3) Vacations: Seaside, Telluride, Italy, Seattle...I'm not picky!
4) Reading cookbooks and cooking. Doesn't matter what I'm cooking, it's major stress relief.
5) Making sugar cookies with my Mom and sisters and nieces. Sugar cookies and chocolate truffles are a Sullivan Christmas tradition! There is nothing better than spending all day in the kitchen talking and laughing and baking!
6) Anything Christmas: Trees, garland, wreaths, candles, lights, and music. What did I do before all the XM Christmas stations?
7) Spending a whole day doing nothing but reading a good book. I LOVE IT!
8) My life. Although my job wears me out, I am very thankful to have a job that pays the bills. Although my house may need cleaning and laundry may need washing, I love my home and get pleasure in taking care of it. Although my pets constantly spawn the words "this is why we can't have nice things", I love them and how happy they are to see me when I get home. Although Daniel and I might drive each other nuts sometimes, I love him and wouldn't want to face each stressful day without him by my side. We constantly find ourselves looking at each other and just saying how much we love our life and how happy we are to be married to each other. These are some of the things that make me happy.

And I'll tag:
Corinne at She Do Nothing All Day
Meg at Harris Family Blog
Shelby at The Trustys
Angela
Jenn at The Janii
Rachel at No Really... This is My Life (so glad she's alive :))
Kathy at The Whole Lott
Ree The Pioneer Woman: I know it will never happen :)

More Halloween Fun!

This post is gonna be mainly photos (which Daniel likes...what am i too wordy for you? I do have an English degree ya know!), but I did want to share one funny story from Halloween. There was a little boy, probably about 6?, dressed as a power ranger (or something similar) who came to the door while his parents stood back on the sidewalk. When we answered the door in our costumes he got this scared look on his face and his eyes slowly took us in from feet to masks. I thought he might actually cry, but instead, he simply said, "Nith Cothstumes". He had the most adorable lisp and Daniel and I have been repeating that ever since. Nith Cothstumes. It was so nerdy and funny and cute! Anyways, on to the pics. Enjoy.

Here we are as Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix LaStrange. If you don't know those names, we can no longer be friends. Of course, considering what dorks we are, you probably don't want to be our friends anyways.


Here is our front door in all it's Halloween glory! The moths seem to revel in the fake spiderweb... I hope we didn't lull them into a false sense of spiderweb security...oh well. c'est la vie (or death in the moths' case)!


This is Cinderella...I mean Grace. She is the daughter of my college roommate/ sorority sister/ friend/ neighbor Jennifer. As my sister Anna would say, "I just LOOVVVEEE Cinderella!!!"


Ok, this is when we had had some beer and were being silly. Don't the red eyes just make the pic though?


This was supposed to be my 'Sassy Deatheater' pose, but Voldemort cut my arms off. Not in real life, silly, just in the picture. It would be hard to blog if i had no arms.


Fin.
