Jazz Duos

May 13's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. A Jazz Duo at a Bookstore - As long as no one's blaring it in my face I'm good. I think it's nice as a background noise but if you're blaring it too loud then I might get a little irritated with you because I don't think that it's necessary to have music in a bookstore. People are looking at books and there are headphones if people are looking at music.

2. The Wave of a Friendly Neighbor - Most of my neighbors will wave but there a few that just annoy me because they completely ignore me when I gave them a friendly wave. I don't get why it's so hard for people to take one hand of their steering wheel and gave a small wave, or at least smile. It's not that painful!

3. Butterscotch Pudding - I'd rather have chocolate. It tastes better.

4. Lemon Soap - I love fruity smelling soap but I can't say that I've ever used lemon. I enjoy the smell of lemon cleaning products though. They make me smile because they usually make the house smell fresh.

5. Slicing Cucumbers - As long as I don't slice my hand in the process of slicing cucumbers then I'm all set. Cucumbers do make me happy because I love the taste.

6. Fruit and Cheese - I honestly don't get how someone came up with the idea that these should go together but it truly is a good mix. Whenever Charlie Orland caters from Yellow Springs Inn and has a delicious and also pretty fruit and cheese platter I'm usually pretty happy. Thinking about it most of his food makes me happy, especially his chocolate covered strawberries which are absolutely delicious.

7. Sea Cliffs and Ivory Beaches - Cliffs that look over the sea or ocean always have a breath taking view. The house that I go to in the Bahamas is at the top of a cliff and in order to get to the beach you have to walk down a couple sets of stairs but once you get to the bottom and can put your toes in the sand, it's totally worth the walk down the stairs.

8. A Sparkling Personality - Apparently I have one of these so that makes me happy. One can learn something different about me every time we hang out. I always think it's cool when you can learn something about someone else even after knowing them for a long time. Some things just don't pop up right away.

9. Essays on New Experiences - This reminds me of the essays that they always made us right in high school about our summer experiences. I think that they should have had us reflect back on our years in high school our senior year and what we learned from our experiences throughout high school and whether we actually took our mistakes and tried to correct them in the future. As much as I hate writing essays I probably would have done really well on this one because I learned a lot about myself in high school and other people.

10. A Good Parking Place - Who doesn't love finding one of these. It always makes me happy to find a good parking spot, especially if it's raining because who wants to be wet and go into a store or something along those lines.
