Finding Happiness Everyday

Latest updates: ex-fiance has a new girlfriend and a new mercedes. Honestly, I feel bad that his life is so effed up. He thinks that new shiny things will bring him happiness, but he'll never be happy, not with that effed up little brain in his head. I'll sleep well knowing that he'll stay in Toledo, at his job where he is miserable, and keep trying to find shit to make himself happy. Ain't never gonna happen!

And so, in lieu of my new single-dom, I have decided that I am going to find happiness everyday, with no man. As my mother says "You don't need no man!" I'm doing a pretty good job of it so far, and I'm going to continue to be happy, all on my own :-D

Here is a list of things that make me happy and don't rely on a man:

- Smoking a fine Cuban cigar
- Playing with firearms, and pretending its your face at the end of the shooting range
- Watching baseball, either on TV or attending a game. I can't wait to go to plenty of Indians games this year! Or Tigers games with my family! Hot dogs and beer! I love it!
- Working out so hard that my face is salty from sweat
- Seeing how happy my pets are that I am home
- A delicious latte that I pay too much for at some corporate giant
- A long, warm shower followed by my pajamas
- Any type of jacuzzi/whirlpool
- A good red wine. Or a good white for that matter. Any good wine. And good people to share it with
- Dive bars with cold beer and good bar food; and a bartender who remembers your name
- Exploring the wilderness, hiking, enjoying nature in general. Especially bird watching! I love birds. I can't wait to have a bird feeder.
- Spending hours just walking around IKEA and decorating my imaginary house 10 times over.
- Having house plants. Which I give names to. I name just about everything (including my car, Gracie)
- A delicious cocktail. Like a well made cosmopolitan or lemon drop.

I could think of plenty others, but thats all I have for right now.

My brain is pretty fried at the moment. I'll post more tomorrow.
