10 Things That Make Me Happy

I was tagged, so here are some personal tidbits about what makes me happy...

1. Tickle fights with my boys and getting greeted at the door with hugs and kisses after a long day’s work or a tough workout

Tyler's Tickle Monsters



2. Cuddling on the couch with Douglas (and Indy, our chocolate lab) watching How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory -- if you don't watch these shows, you are missing out!


3. Finishing the “toughest” workout of the week, usually my long brick and crossing the finish line at a race (elation!)

4. A good meal, particularly (in no specific order) pancakes, spaghetti, sandwiches on fresh bread, ok, really any good meal. I love to eat.

5. My weekly catch up calls with Allie (she lives in CA and I only get to see her once a year or so, but it is so nice to decompress with a girlfriend!) and family fun dates with the Browns, Englands and McGowans
6. A good bargain – I love finding *things I need / want* on sale!

7. Listening to a good audio book on a long run – it is a multi-tasker’s dream come true!

8. Capturing great photos of my family – the age of innocence is fleeting and those smiles are so precious!

9. Margaritas with girlfriends – I definitely don’t get to enjoy this one often enough!

10. Blog comments. The encouragement is fantastic, the feedback is helpful and it gives me a sense of community. I am pretty good about leaving comments on people’s blogs who leave comments on mine, wink wink!

Now, I am supposed to tag 10 fellow bloggers - all of these blogs are definitely worth a read, including the blogs of Mark (TriDadofFive) and Kelly (TriMommyLife) who both tagged me!

1. Iron Trish
2. Joel - TriMadness
3. Kristin - The Lazy Marathoner
4. Big Daddy Diesel
5. Jessi Thompson - a super FAST trimommy!
6. Sonja - Go Sonja! - Endurance athlete extraordinare
7. Sally Aston
8. Kathleen
9. Mike Russell
10. Rockstar Tri

Awesome list! They really are all great things. The picture of your boys is too cute.

I love our catch up calls too! (And I still love that picture of Homer and I!)

Hey thanks for the mention. I have to admit to loving a good sale too. I own way too many shoes for a man, but wow, do I love a great pair of shoes. Is that wrong to admit? ;)

Great list Anne. Like you, I also love to eat. My favorite food list would be a mile long.
