Things That Make Me Happy… In January 2010

Birman cats.

Listening to music I haven’t listened to in a long, long time and falling in love with it all over again.

Bright Star. ♥ Again. (Why yes, I am obsessed!)

Cliched sailor-style tattoos.

The colour magenta.

Christmas lights that are still on in the middle of January.

Brilliant ideas in the middle of the night.

Homemade blueberry muffins fresh from the oven when the tops are still crunchy.

Snow! (Snow never gets old in my books, and is always happiness inducing.)

Receiving a response to a message I sent Coco Rocha. “Oh you’re sweet. I’ll tweet about it after 7pm! Xoxo” Saving that forever!

Eating so many Sweet Tarts your tongue becomes tingly for hours.

Discovering my Dad also likes Natalie Portman.

Snow. Lots and lots of snow. The kind you can make snowmen out of.

Baking brownies and using the sifter to sprinkle powder sugar on the top.  (Eating the brownies is also a plus.)

Left over spring rolls. They’re better when they’re mushy.

My new crown earrings from Sophie. (I’ve been wearing them ever since I opened the gift wrap yesterday.)

Playing ‘hide the stuffed toy skunk’ with my brother.ⁱ

Curling up in bed and watching The O.C. reruns.

Starting NaBloPoMo!

Games of Chinese Checkers.

Learning about brussell sprouts.

I ♥ in 2009: Top 9 of ‘09

It’s hard to believe that 2009 and this decade are already coming to a close! It’s unreal to think back on the Y2K hoopla – that was ten years ago now! For me personally, 2009 has been a year of so many huge changes in almost every aspect of my life, so I thought it would only be fitting to do a small summary of the top 9 things that made me happy this year and made 2009 memorable.

Only blowing my nose 12 times a day, instead of 364.

Writing Christmas cards.

This scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Caramilk chocolate bars.

Cross-word puzzles with clues about the film Amélie.

Jamming away on the piano and singing at the top of my lunges to Tori Amos.

Sipping soup and pretending you’re in the presence of the Queen.

Making walrus teeth out of the skewers from kabobs.

My brand new and super gorgeous purple dress from Urban Outfitters.

Anxiously waiting for the Lady GaGa concert tomorrow night! So excited! :D

Watching Survivor on television with my mom.

What’s making you feel all warm and squishy inside?

And even though I know he doesn’t read this blog or even know it exists, but happy 20th birthday to my brother! ♥
