happiness runs

I'm not sure why I feel so happy today. I have a full blown sneezy, drippy cold, I'm way behind on commitments, there are dishes in the sink and I have 50 lbs. to lose before Hawaii (8 weeks)! It has to be one of the following three things:.  

My new salt crystal lamp

Chuck think it's ugly, Pretz thinks it's a rock.

I believe the label that was on it that said

it would release happiness ions into the air.

Or

This extra sweet valentine

I had to go to the post office to pick this up.

The clerk lady loved it almost as much as I do!

Or

It could be

Pretzel Pony tail Princess skirt.

Catching up

So much to be grateful for . . .
