This post is going to be so random that you might not be able to think straight. Each item will be a separate, unrelated thing and should be read as such. Also, this post is purely materialistic...and I'm not going to apologize for that. So there.
So just sit back and read it and think about little things that you love or that put a smile on your face. And if you want to post something similar, do it!
It'll be like a big party of random little fun things. That sounds so cute!

A new, clean, blank spiral notebook.
There's something about the first few pages of a new spiral that makes me happy. Maybe it's that all the pages are still crisp and clean and just waiting to be filled. It makes me want to write a letter to my BFF from camp, make a list of To Do items for the weekend, or just write my name over and over again in bubble letters. Remember doing that in school? Classic junior high.
My Sewing Machine
I used my mom's sewing machine so much that she helped me shop for a new one, just so she could get hers back. :) She literally called me one day, out of the blue, to tell me she'd found one at a good price and gave me all the details. I trusted her judgment and even gave my credit card info to her over the phone! It's not the fanciest machine but it's not a cheapo "I paid $30 for this" machine either (ahem, like my first one). It's reliable and sews perfectly and has all these settings I have no idea what to do with. But it's mine and I love it! Is it bad that I can't remember the brand? I think it's maybe Janome, but that could be wrong.
A Smooth Writing Clicky Pen
I can never keep a pen cap with its pen - I either lose it or chew on it and that's just gross. And those pens that turn always confuse me into thinking they should click. So I have to have a pen that clicks. But not just any clicking pen will do. I'm not into gel pens or anything that smears. It must write smoothly and with dark enough ink and it must keep up with my fidgeting fingers that click it constantly and disturb my office mates. And apparently I have a 10 commandments for what I require from a pen. Wow, maybe I'm a little nuts. Anyway, when I find that perfect clicky pen, I use it and love it and keep it safely hidden (usually in my purse) when not in use. I almost feel like I should call it My Precious now.
My Coach purse.
Actually, I have 3...all courtesy of my mother-in-law. But I love the huge one I got for my birthday this year. I overfill it with things I don't need. But I love that I can find the following things in there right now: camera, notebook, snack, lots of clicky pens, pocket calendar, check book, tweezers, lotion, lip gloss, Weight Watchers weigh-in book and journal, feminine products, old birthday cards, random gift cards with less than $5 on them, and gum. This is all from memory. I'm sure there's more junk I can't think of that makes me feel good when I see it in there.
My Keurig Coffee Machine
I know I am going to sound all hoity toity here but seriously, this is one of my favorite appliances. I used so many BB&B wedding gift cards to get this and I don't even care that I could've spent it on towels for a guest room or a duvet cover for the 3rd bedroom. When you are the sole coffee drinker in the house, nothing beats the convenience of lifting the handle, putting in a k-cup coffee flavor, and pressing start. Maybe I'm lazy in the mornings or maybe I just can't function intelligently that early, but having to measure your coffee out and fill the back with water and put the filter in...that is exhausting just to think about. I love that I can start my coffee and go put on some accessories and walk back in the kitchen 3 minutes later to find it waiting for me. Seriously, I love it.
My Laptop
I'm reclining on the couch right now as I type this on my Samsung laptop. If I didn't have my handydandy laptop, I might never blog. Hubby bought it for me for Christmas; isn't he the best?! Oh, what did I get him? Just an Xbox Kinect that he didn't really want. Yeah, I didn't really do quite as well for him. But hey, at least he gets to use the laptop too! I know it will be used a lot when we go to Europe this fall. If not while we're there, at the very least while we travel. We leave in just 2 months, YAY!
This is me, on the webcam of my laptop, as I type this post. Hardly any makeup and probably no bra on. And you can't see her but Lucy is curled up into a ball right between me and the pile of clothes I need to fold. I know, I should've just done that instead of blogging. But I miss blogging!
Like I said, a super random post of things that make me happy.
Also, this post totally reminds me of this quote:
Girl 1: There's a difference between like and love. Because, I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack.
Girl 2: But I love my Skechers.
Girl 1: That's because you don't have a Prada backpack.
Name that movie.
And leave me a comment naming something that makes YOU smile! :)
