I'm the happiest woman among all women."-Joanna Newsom

I am bursting with Christmas spirit and if you aren't this video should fix that.

Happiness Challenge

Taza, writer of the lovely blog rockstar diaries began a series entitled "here's to happiness" in which readers and other bloggers send in lists of 10 things that make them terribly happy. My heart does a little dance every time I read one. So if you want to be happy right this minute, head over there and browse around. Better yet, write your own! Here's mine:

1. Being the first person awake.
2. The smell of Christmas trees.
3. Other people's birthdays.
4. Old musicals.
5. My dog and her wacky antics.
6. Berry picking.{or any fruit really}.
7. Watching my boyfriend's face as he tastes something I just baked.
8. Making plans.
9. Fairs and festivals.
10. Indian summer.

Uhm, how cute is our president?

The new dog's name is Bo, he was a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy. I bet the girls are happy.

Where The Wild Things Are

One of my favorite childhood books coming to the big screen. It looks so dreamy.

Based on the books by Maurice Sendak. I have a Wild Things stuffed doll that I call The King of the Monsters.

Eat Cake.

I am a big fan of cakespy.com. If you know me at all, you know I love cupcakes and anything that has to do with them which these folks clearly understand. But sometimes they write about different sweet treats- like pie. I hope this brightens your day the way it has brightened mine.
