In any event, while I was in the car, I started a list of what makes me happy. Here are ten things that made my list today.
- Walking in the door after missing dinner and finding a full plate sitting right there waiting for me on the kitchen island. Wouldn't you know I found that again tonight?
- The all-too-short "offseason" for soccer managers.
- The gladiolas that are thriving, at last, in our garden.
- Finally getting to ride shotgun all the way to Richmond and back instead of playing chauffeur for my co-workers.
- Being home alone -- with the dogs.
- Watching the talkative young lady -- who had spent the entire train ride from Philadelphia standing up, facing backwards, and talking to her friends about her condo, how great it is to live alone, her ex-boyfriend, her disastrous interview with Southwest for a flight attendants job, and so much more -- finally get off the train in Baltimore, leaving me in peace and quiet for the 10 minutes it took to get from Baltimore to the BWI Rail Station.
- Finding the British Open live on ESPN at 6:30AM this morning when I was eating my cereal. Now, if only Mike Tirico wasn't doing the announcing.
- New Green Day.
- Stumbling across a Real Housewives reunion show on Bravo.
- Daydreaming on www.realtor.com.
