When it comes to my writing, aside from telling horrible tales of relationships gone wrong and how men ruined me
(because I let them…temporary insanity…yes, thats it! Temporary infrikcinsanity!),
I love getting awards from fellow bloggers and I especially love when awards come with a challange.
Meet La Vita e’ bella who was kind enough to give me this:
This award, along with the challenge of listing 10 things that make me happy, couldnt have come at a better time.
In a daily struggle challenge to stay positive, a list of my happy things is just what I needed….and i need to challenge myself to continue to add to this list.
Find more things that make me happy….get out and explore with the PIT….meet people…maintain positive relationships and rid myself of the crapola ones.
Thank you Michelle for this honor! You are an inspiration my friend~

**10 things that make this momma happy**
1) The PIT’s giggle when I pinch her pointy chin….it must tickle cause she cant help but giggle even when shes trying her best to be mad at me.
2) Hair day….I love getting my hair did! Actually, hair day is this week and I am friggin giddy! I love the way the red is all in your face for the first day or two.
3) Slow dancing in the kitchen…lost in the music, his touch, the moment…turns out I DO like that. Tried it and I was indeed very happy there in his kitchen
4) Dancing around like a maniac to “Aqauarius” in a cozy apartment with a gorgeous view of the city, surrounded by friends with the smell of chocolate rum cake baking in the background.
(Uh huh—chocolate rum cake….friggin YUM)
5) The look in my best friends eyes when she looks at her son….*that* look…of unconditional love.
6) My gramma. She’s adorable! A conversation with gramma includes each and every tiny detail, sometimes so many that we forget where the hell the story was going. Everytime I visit gramma Im certain Ill get a home cooked meal and leftovers…put into cool whip containers…that she then writes the contents of each container on the lids in magic marker. Plus, gramma says things like “davenport” and “Im gonna write that down where the cat cant scratch it out”.
7) Pictures….photography. I love taking random pictures…especially in the city. This year Im going to pursue my passion for photography in full force
8) The city….Im a sucker for the concrete jungle. I like city living much better than small town living…Im intrigued by the clutter and chaos. I don’t have to live *in* the city but near it.
9) Writing…its my escape and my release. Im not much of a talker…unless we’re talkin shit…if we’re talking *feeling* and stuff…Im out. For me, sometimes I just cant get it out right unless its in black & white.
10) And finally, I must admit that romance makes me happy.
(Did you hear that Morgan? Its mostly your fault…the Romantic Revolutionary

has indeed inspired me to pick up the pieces of a once broken heart and move on.)
Although…I must say kudos to Mr Man who happens to be incredibly good at romance….and making me happy….which is all new for me but Im totally diggin it
