Happiness is the Hiccups. Maybe. I guess. I love the picture, though. What are you happy about today ?

I'm happy that my basement is finally clean after the flood and I'm liberated of a dumpster full of old "stuff" I'd been meaning to sort through for years and years.

I'm happy like a little kid over my spiffy new ("vegan") sneakers.

And I'm happy I got to eat dinner, drink a beer, and talk with Anthony Marr last night and that he's one of the coolest, nicest people I've ever met and seems to be right on my wavelength. Too cool.

I'm not! Post-vacation blues, big time.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

I can't see what Jon's happy about (in his hand), but I'm happy that he looks just really damn happy.

Those are the onion & garlic macadamia nuts I was going on about the other day. six cans arrived and they're delicious.

That the icky humidity has passed and the true Canadian summer has kicked in (although, this means that its almost over which makes me sad - I guess this is a bittersweet happy).

That I might actually have some real work to do today and I won't have to spend the ENTIRE day perusing Mecha. Not that I don't like you guys.

Clean kitchen, made bed, beautiful porch-sitting-book-reading-caucasion-drinking afternoon, cool new square dishes in desert orange, steristrips beginning to peel, pain much subsided, the energy to write a bit, a young man winning a Caddy on Price Is Right (and kissing Bob), air conditioning, still three weeks until I return to work, Swedish fish.

Unhappy: $202.08 electric bill. : (

That must've been me trying to re-animate that corpse. Sorry, honey.

pieisexactlythree, at first I read that as 'a big bag of leeches,' and thought, 'hey, maybe he feels like bleeding today..'

I can't get this woman out of my head, so I've been smiling all week. Even when I sleep. Makes me happy. Can't wait to see her. That makes me happy too. My heart is beating in my chest, and my throat, and all over my body. Feels like it's gonna burst right through my smile. Makes me happy. I'm gonna talk to her in an hour or so, maybe see her tonight, maybe tomorrow. So happy.

Yeah, I'm happy. YEAH!

So long as it's not the Tell-Tale Heart. : )

Seriously happy for ya, HJ!

Hugh, me and Joe were discussing your newfound lady friend yesterday. When are you gonna introduce her to the posse?

posted by jonmc 09 August | 11:29

In time, in time. It's all happening so fast! The sun rises with her. When I know she thinks the sun rises with me, I'll bring her around. Or maybe sooner.

She likes the same stuff I do (just about everything) and we can't seem to get enough of talking and staring at each other. Sounds promising, right? I haven't felt this way in, well, you might know how long.

I guess my heart was hung up for a while, but it's no worse for the rest. YEAH!

Congrats, Hugh! Happy to hear that you're happy.

You reminded me of my best possible reason for being happy that I forgot to mention earlier. 9 great months with my wonderful girlfriend. And she's taking me out to middle eastern food tonight. Double trouble!

Happiness is the ~~hiccups~~ migraine after it's gone away. And friends coming in from out of town.

Happiness is a perfect day spent tubing down the Delaware River with my family. Warm water, gorgeous sunshine, a light breeze....ahhhh!!
