A few things that make me happy

flowers that seem to smile,
decorating burritos like I would decorate a cake,
shopping cart street art,
llama
my new intern,

trees with a sense of fashion,
forcing embarrassing butterfly tattoos onto my brother's arm,
Moo's thinking face when he's studying,

dancing while doing the dishes,
Keith
and wonderfully gigantic smiles!

I have a crazy busy weekend and would love to hear some things that make you smile. It would definitely make my stressful weekend a bit less stressful! So let's play a game, tell me something that makes you happy or link to a photo that makes you smile in the comments and I will pick a few people at random on Monday to send a fun present to in the mail! Make sure to put your email or a link to your blog in the comments so I can contact you.

Unexpected rainbows from prisms and other crystals. A friend has a bunch that hang on the window in her kitchen and I love when the light hits and there are lots of little rainbows on the floor.

Taking pictures of my cats while they are yawning, and pretending they're singing opera.

This definitely makes me happy because even though I love cats, whenever I see I dog I say, "Look! Doggie!" I've been saying that ever since I was little.

This photo of a sweet barn in Massachusetts makes me happy:

And my cat Briscoe always puts a smile on my face - especially when his tongue sticks out of his mouth for no reason...

And it's now a project I want to do. My bike got stolen recently, but when I get a new one, it's going to have colourful wheels like this one!

I also made a twitter account, and write something everyday that people can smile about: triplechinsmile

:))))

Have a beautiful day

Danielle said...

Hey, Katie! It's not a photo, but this video I took of my grandpa in his nursing home makes my cheeks hurt, I smile so hard when I watch it. He has Alzheimer's and doesn't make much sense when he talks, but his personality hasn't changed at all. (That's me giggling like a moron behind the camera.)

My 14 year old cousin and I decided to play with some sidewalk chalk over spring break and without seeing what the other had done we both drew thought bubbles...one with a heart and one with sunshine. This picture makes me smile for so many reasons...the creativity, the playfulness, the beautiful day, and the fact that we both paid homage to YOU without even consulting one another ;) We are cut from the same cloth. Love, love.

Lately every little plant tendril I planted that's poking it's head out of the soil makes me smile.

Also the antics my chickens get up too! Watching them eat rose petals is pretty cute. :)

Other things that get a grin out of me:

-When a Marvin Gaye song comes on during a party at my friends' house and everyone crowds in the living room to sing along with all of their hearts
-Pancakes and waffles
-My camera's new lens
-New York pizza
-In n Out grilled cheeses
-My dad's horrible jokes
-My grandmother's stories about the past
-Guacamole
-Getting a secret family recipe handed down to me

I could type forever. I hope your weekend is less stressful than you think it'll be!

Going dancing with a cute boy (even though he's just a friend). That's the best thing that has happened to me all week. It's been stressful for me too! But I agree with you, it's such a delight to hear about other people's happiness! :-)

katy said...

last night, we realized that my amazingly chubby siamese kitty boy is going gray - but only around one eye, and so Victor will soon have a permanent monocle! that makes me smile quite a lot.

other things that make me happy:
-finding new jars of yummy honey hiding in the pantry
-seeing flowers blooming in my yard
-getting good things in the mail (like when i ordered a little necklace on etsy, and since it came from overseas by the time it got here i'd pretty much forgotten about it - hooray surprise!)
-un-pop-able bubbles! blowing them in the garden, among the wildflowers, and seeing them stick in the overgrown asparagus trees for hours :)

The summer solstice always makes me happy. It is June 21 this year so you can look forward to it all weekend.
Watching my younger daughter play soccer makes me happy.
My son's wonderful sense of humour.
The way the cat sleeps on his back.
My older daughter's fabulous drawings.
Seeing something I've seen a million times before from a new angle and having my breath taken away by its beauty.

And my daughter and I both agree - reading your blog! Oh, and I put up some of your fun eyes and put your blog name on the backs. That made me very happy, as well as all the people who saw them.

Things that make me smile include the generosity of my neighbors, in the form of putting exactly the right thing out on the curb. Recent things I have found:

1) A zip-up fleece jacket (in my moderately unusual coat size), the same week I'd been lamenting not being able to afford one.

2) A pair of running shoes (in my fairly normal shoe size) when I was on my way to go running and had noticed that my only sneakers were flat-soled skateboarder shoes.

3) A white and yellow striped twin sheet. I don't have a twin bed, but I DO now have a white and yellow striped pencil skirt.

Caoimhe uber alles said...

The little things; looking at a sketch I just finished; when a character does something crazy in a film and having a friend lean over and say to me: "That's something you'd do." Spelling silly words like 'weiner' in scrabble, and bringing over that first round of pints to your friends and knowing that it's going to be a good night.

Anneke said...

what makes me smile? my boyfriends sweet smile in the morning, or the small frown on his face when he's focused on his drawing works.

some regular people in this city make me smile too. i love the little gentleman with his little bowtie, riding his bike with his back all straight and serious. i love that happy lady with her dog i see every two days. i love the street musician covering joanna newsom songs on guitar.

making food for the people i love makes me smile. getting some super greasy unhealthy fries after a party and eating them in bed with my boyfriend makes me smile. seeing rainbows in the morning, waking up hours before the alarm goes off and realising i can sleep a lot more, the first apples in my father's tree, my cat looking like jack nicholson, the mouse in our house we will never catch while it eats all of our chocolate, my mushroom lamp, the pigeons on the roof, the river at night, the sound of the boats, old dusty books, finding postcards written by kids in the 1920s and i could go on like this forever.

you make me smile too.

Katie said...

I got paid today... 1st smile.. I shopped for about an hour at kohls and target for a cute shirt but eventually found 5 cute ones at Salvation 2nd smile.. on my way out of kohls I found my first twin car ever.. 3rd smile.. I was 8 dollars short in cash for my clothes at salvation army so the lady next to me told me I had to buy the last two shirts.. forced me to take 5 dollars and paid for my shirts. smile 4.. I was going back to my place of work to pay the 5 dollars forward to a friend that is going on a mission trip and my twin cars owner and i made eye contact and smiled. smile 5 and then paying it forward smile 6

today I am full of smiles..

- Uncontrollable, unstoppable, you-can-feel-it-in-your-abs laughter.
- Days where the sun stays up until the very last minute almost like it's being forced to go to bed.
- Calling my purse Sandra, just because.
- Writing inspirational quotes and lyrics on walls, whiteboards....and arms.
- The look on someone's face as they make a really important life realization.
- Going for a run on beautiful day with my ipod, imagining that through my eyes i'm making a video set to the music i'm listening to.
- Painting my nails with silver glitter so that each one looks like a mini disco ball in the sun.
- Hanging up pictures/items/anything on my wall just because it makes me smile to look at it.
- Carrying out whole conversations with my twin sister through facial expressions.
- That feeling you get when something you never thought would ever happen in a million years - happens.

- and of course, reading your blog! Keep up the great work, you bring a lot of happiness to a lot of people :)

songbird said...

Some things that make me smile are:

When it's pouring out but the sun is shining bright overhead and there only some small fluffly white clouds in sight. You can't help but run out there twirl around in the rain :) (It also makes for some of the biggest most vivid rainbows ever!)

Watching old movies and musicals

Your blog (of course)

Really big colorful lollipops

The smell of my uncle's coffee shop

And lastly seeing my best friend hold her girlfriend's hand after coming out that she was lesbian, and had been afraid to tell anyone for 3 years. I had missed seeing her so happy. :)

My email is curiouslittleliterarian@gmail.com

I tweeted this to you but finding the perfect gift for someone I love makes me super happy. If I handmake it, even more bliss abounds!

Today I went swimming with my 3 year old and seeing the look of joy when he comes up from underwater, eyes shining, is something else that induces smiles!

Staying in a little white cottage by the beach with one of my best childhood friends, here in Ireland :D It rained the whole time, but when the sun (finally)came out we went down to the beach barefoot, rolled up our jeans and got in. We saw a bottle floating about 20 feet out and went out to get it, only to realise it didnt have a message. but it still made me smile. :)
BEST. DAY. EVER.

On the same holiday, we caught a lobster together, and when my mum went to cook it, she couldn't crack open the shell so as a joke she asked dad to go to the car and get his sledgehammer (hes an engineer so he keeps one in the boot). He was playing along so he went to get it, when he got back me and my friend were running around and i ran into the handle of the sledgehammer when my dad was holding it under his arm. I ended up with a black eye. I certainly didnt smile at the time but the fact that nobody believed my silly story and just remembering how strange it was still makes me smile to this day. :)

And of course... YOUR BLOG AND YOUR AMAZING PHOTOS. :D

I love your "things that make me happy" posts, because each of them never fail to make me happy, either! This one came at a perfect time as I just received my grades for my college's quarter and was hugely disappointed.

Something that makes me happy is eating pretzels and yelling at the TV with my friends/commenting on every person onscreen.

-my graduation and all that feeling that i will never have an exam any time soon
-observing that people that are busy are never to busy to smile to me
-my boyfriend being romantic in paris...alone (I was too busy to join, but receiving cute emails all day long is worth the being home alone)
-the giant tree in front of my window hitting the window at night (I amuse myself imagining ghost stories!)

One thing that makes me smile are hospital clowns who manage to bring a smile to those in need of a good time. Luckily I was able to register in a training course, and maybe in a couple of months I will have the chance to join the group of clowns who work in the children's hospital where I live and help them bring a little joy to kids. I can't wait! :)

COOKING!
It makes me so happy to chose excellent food for my family and nourish the bodies that I made or the one I can't live without- I know that spiritually we are all okay and connected but it is my passion to maintain the health of my family through preparing meals for us to share.
Here is a post I wrote about farmers market to table with all of my original photographs of the food pre and post.

Barbara said...

Ummmm...

- fluffy cat tails! <3 and cats in general. :) I admit that I started following your blog after seeing a picture of Moo. :o
- putting my fingers through my boyfriend's hair. <3 as much as he would disagree (as all men do, I guess, with their fears of going bold) he has the cutest curls around the ear for me to adore. :))
- listening to vinyls. there are only few things comparably romantic to the sound of "cracking" of records. (surprisingly enough, there are only few records that sound as romantic as Isis' Panopticon does...but maybe that's just me :)) <3
- chocolate. no explanation needed here. :)
- presents in the mailbox. or presents in general. <3 both from me to others and from others to me.
- finding "things", animals, images... in the clouds. <3
- little surprises. kinder surprises as well.can't help being a child at heart.
- walking on gravel. or pebbles. love the sound of it! :))
- post-it "I love you" notes. <3 :)
- a memory of an old man offering me to stand under his umbrella on a crowded square in the middle of pouring rain. <3 <3
- cotton flowers <3 and pussy willows <3. :)
- sleeping in my boyfriend's shirt, which he wore the day before. <3 <3
- people wearing colorful clothes. i'm a sucker for colors...

Hi Katie,

I just found your blog today and I think I have just spent two hours reading it! With a huge smile on my face of course. Oh my! Your blog is very lovely! You have an amazing imagination and attitude. I really admire you. :)

And then, things that make me smile:

- The golden summer sunsets
- Funny children at public places
- Adorable old people saying wise things about life
- Finding heart shapes anywhere around (found so far: a leaf, paint spill, a cloud, stone..)
- Musicals

p.s. I think Moo also just got a new fan :)

Groups of preschool kids coming into the observatory where I work.

When I ask them if they have any questions, they're so eager to participate, they'll raise their hand... and then tell me about the horse their aunt once rode on.

Marvelous.

8. smiling at strangers, and smiling even bigger when they smile back at you! all their external coldness seems to melt away, and i loves it! :D

For the upteenth time in my gypsy life I spend day in and day out looking for a job and being melodramatic because my mere existence doesn't make sense.

Then suddenly the phone rings, and it's a message from my boyfriend and my heart swells. My cousin's kitten on my lap meows, stretches her legs out and then falls back asleep.

The moments in life that make me smile are the ones that are made of 100% genuine unprocessed love.

Something that makes me happy is: blowing up balloons, then cutting out props and faces (etc. eyeballs, ties, tongues), then taking pictures with them while making the same face they are, then attaching sting to them to make them fly, and then finally giving the balloon to a random stranger.

I've always been those readers who follows your blog but never comment. :P I love your blog. They ALWAYS put a smile on my face. :)

Playing on swings never fails to make me happy. I always look at the clouds and giggle to myself. It's especially funny when everyone stares at me but I can't stop smiling to myself.

Cute sounding music makes me happy too. Like this.

And and and! Not forgetting a special person in my life right now. We don't need to hold hands to show that we're together. It's such fun being with him. We can just sit on a bench and people watch all day. We'll laugh and imagine what's going through their heads. :)

My cats make me smile - every single day! For you I've picked out a special samlpe why: a video of them fighting, cuddling and playing at the same time. You can watch it on youtube. Here is the Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSUvNMPmt-o&feature=related

On my youtube-channel you can also watch some other videos of them or you may like to watch some pictures on my Blog: http://nh-perfect-drug.blogspot.com/

Hopefully you're not aftraid of differnt languages. I guess you can understand my posts just by watching the pictures and without understanding the (german) text :).

Greetings from the other site of the world. NH

This was in my blog reader this morning and the first thing I thought was, "Katie would love this!"
I'd love to see your version (hint, hint)!

Lots of things make me smile...
1. My husbands silly pick up lines that he still uses on me after 4 years
2. My beautiful Boy
3. Laughter of any child (how can you not laugh when you hear their joy?)

but mostly these days when I feel like I have nothing to smile about this picture gets me every time...
