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.

There are so many things!


1. I know its been said tons of times ago in the previous comments - but my cat makes me happy.

From his unerring trust in me

http://www.flickr.com/photos/adilahismail/3702067344/

to his unintentionally funny faces

http://www.flickr.com/photos/adilahismail/3735319097/

and well, the way he sprawls himself on my study table and promptly falls asleep on all my books

http://www.flickr.com/photos/adilahismail/3471815817/

I leave the country tomorrow and I'm going to miss him so much :(

2. Friends make me happy

http://www.flickr.com/photos/adilahismail/3665086937/

3. Also, pretty colours!

i'm sorry, but i had to put the whole link in because I wasn't sure how to format them!

Just a few:
-when someone smiles at me (with or without a reason)
-playing games that involve shouting or acting crazy just to get that one point
-when I look up into to the sky and think "I wonder if someone on the other side of the world is doing the same thing."
-playing tag with my dog around the pool
-and singing "these are a few of my favorite things" from The Sound of Music, off key preferably.


Thanks for the lovely post!

I usually use your blog as a way to make me smile so I thought I should return the favor. So here are a few things that make me smile

-Singing loudly along with my Spice Girls cd as I drive
-Dancing in my underwear
-Dancing randomly with a friend in public and not care who is watching
-I worked at a daycare and the way each child's face lit up as I came in for the day
-Again from the day care: One little boy (14months) gave me kisses, but he was still learning how to give them. So instead of puckering up he would just lean towards me say ahhh! Cutest thing ever

I hope you enjoy your weekend and get everything you need to have done! And Smile :)

What makes me smile is doing things like making fun wrapping paper out of office supplies for a 'just because' present to a co-worker.. :) I love that a couple pages of copy paper and a few highlighters can make someone smile!

Plenty of things make me happy! Like the wide-eyed surprised faces of little kids in the museum where I work, riding my bike in the same direction of the wind, wearing my hair in long pigtails, using my light-up hula hoop at night, and this giant sized stuffed maggot my sister is holding (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4006/4679994565_b4f4c8c78d_b.jpg)!

Thanks for the happy inspiration!

What makes me smile is watching the sunset, snuggling with my cat, Mabel,
watching old movies with my boyfriend, Anakin and Curious George. Yes, the cartoon.

Well. Lots of things make me smile. Waking up early to go on mini road trips with my boyfriend. Blowing bubbles with my nephew. Seeing my Mom laugh. Cherry Push Pops. Rainy days. BUZZ LIGHTYEAR. But mostly my Mom. My Mom is the most important person in my life.

Oh, I hope everything works ok for you and you can do everything you have to do this weekend!

As for your question, I enjoy having fun with the people I love, playing with Dimitri, my cat and confidant, hehe, and leaving nice messages to strangers. Here you have an example, this is what I did this past week: I "baked" some musical cupcakes, haha.

But it's a sign that says "Turn on headlights in clouds" that you see going up Haleakala. The fact that such a sign exists makes me happy. ;)

The cat in this painting makes me extraordinarily happy: http://www.art-wallpaper.com/20084/Renoir+Pierre-Auguste/Portrait+of+Mademoiselle+Julie+Manet+with+cat-1024x768-20084.jpg
It looks like it just received an excellent tummy-rub after drinking warm coconut milk! Or at least that's what I like to pretend :P An original lolcat! The painting is Portrait of Julie Manet by Renoir, by the way. Also I love to make up silly stories about people in paintings, people on the street, etc. ;D

Hi Katie, Hope your weekend scoots on through the busy part and you find moments for a little fun on the side :) I'm lucky to have a great husband that makes me smile everyday-he's my perfect blend of Calvin and Hobbes. He's most fun as Calvin, but sometimes just a wee bit annoying. Here's a picture of a Calvin moment when he's caught poking the dog awake from his nap and I asked him to smile. Thank you for always making me smile with your fantastic photos and infectious optimism.

Hey Katie (-:

Even though I'm only fourteen years old I found many things in life that makes me smile!
But there's one thing I always smile at and that's my memorybox.
It's a speciel box i made for memories. In there I have everything from photo's to tennisballs and flowers.
So whenever I found something when I'm with friends or family I put it deep down in my pocket and when I come home again I put it in the box and then I can look back on it and smile!

xoxo Maiken

Lyssa said...

My brother is essentially addicted to the computer, and never leaves World of Warcraft. He rarely speaks to us anymore. When he smiles, it brings the world into our home. Everyone starts to smile. Alex's smile is contagious. The thing is, it's so infrequent that we spend all our free time trying to provoke one. And once we have...

I love fireworks. I understand when people are afraid of them; after all, when I was seven, my neighbor threw a firecracker/firework thing into our bushes, which literally went up in flames. It made me so afraid for years. Soon enough though, I got over that and now they make me infinitely happy. I love the purple ones, that explode with a loud crack and send showers of little sparks through the air on the fourth of July.

I have always wanted to make a list of things that make me smile cuz there are just so many, but I cant remember most of them now, so here are the ones that I do remember:

*singing a muse acapella on my way to school every morning with my little sister.

*watching cats go crazy chasing laser lights.

*LOLCATS! enough said.

*toy story marathons whilst snuggled in bed.

*funny muse gifs on tumblr

*unexpected text messages from someone you love.

*Fake mustaches/Finger mustaches/Mustaches jokes ( I mustachio a question)

and lots more but my memory seems to fail at the moment.

fun party themes make me smile. like my roommates glow party last weekend. as college students we don't skimp out on decor- blacklight, glow paint, twinkle lights, glow sticks. only to accompany our primary color party, secondary color party and glitter christmas party.

also, rainbow cakes make me smile. My roommate and i baked a rainbow cake, five layers of color cake with white icing. and had friends over for cake, cut it open for a color wonderful surprise!

i guess i could say having five creative, fun loving roommates makes me smile.

some things that have been making me happy recently are bright colors, ice cream cones (bright colored ice cream cones earn double points :]), spending time with friends, thrifting for new (old) treasures, and taking photos to document everything!

Anything can make me smile, but my parents' cat Zeus does make me smile every time I see him stretch on his back or make an innocent look before getting some treat from the table:)
And also feeding somebody always makes me smile. That can be:
seagulls -

My beloved soul mate died - but I still smile when I embrace the memories we keep. They are all the treasure I have, which is what is remarkable about the power of memory.

The obvious thing: reading your blog makes me smile and therefore you should smile knowing that you're doing something amazing!

Recently this joke made me smile: http://www.gnomeangel.com/silly-sunday-black-bra/

-Personifying inanimate objects and giving them back stories.
-Selectively feeding the ducks, and not the swans (don't like swan).
-Singing along to my mp3 player while walking about town.
-Finding new blogs like this!

I can ALWAYS smile for a few reasons:

1. Both Ghandi and Einstein had ridiculous moustaches and an even better sense of humor.

2. Somewhere in the world, someone is dancing because they have been uncontrollably excited by something.

3. My last reason is the knowledge that life, strangely as it may seem, continues and pulls little favours for all of us. My last reason, and the truest of all of them, is hope.

Whenever I have a bad day at work, I just look at my pup's picture. I get energized, work harder so I can come home faster and play with her. Just look at her cheesy grin! Never fails to bring a smile to my face :) Since your blog makes us both smile (she likes Moo!), we hope she gave you a smile too Katie!

I've been racking my brain for 10 minutes now trying to read the papers, and I have the odd feeling that Moo's dyslexic. So I wouldn't put him in charge of your colorful t-shirts just yet!

I LOVE TO SMILE!

And because I love to smile I often take trips to your beautiful website, but posting a link to that would be completely silly considering its your site. But...
http://www.colormekatie.blogspot.com/

I'm a silly person :)

My mama is a professional photographer who likes to call herself a professional light chaser. One meeting with her and I swear it would be so hard to find another woman with a camera as genuine, sweet, and fun as she is. I love her :)

Her blog is FULL of smiles!
http://kristinbednarz.com/blog/?p=1475

It doesn't take much to make me smile, I often find the most simplest of things worthy of a warm grin. Such as,
~Watching my sister sneak a puzzle piece into her bra to ensure that she will be the person to officially finish the masterpiece :)
~Eating sour lemons :)
~Watching others eat sour lemons :)
~Sitting in the middle of the rug watching Blue's Clues :)
~Pretending :)
~Listening to 80's music with my mom :)
~ When My Daddy cooks :)
~ And so many more that I wish I could share with you

I want to share mine with you too Katie!

Recently, I saw this Gray Persian cat that always frown at the pet shop near my hometown. I always pass-by after work just to see him. Because seeing him frowning like that makes me imagine how funny it is if I put a clown costume with the little red button nose on him! LOL! Wish I can bring him home and make him happy!

Anyway, it's been long time i didn't see you on FB Katie! Really miss you... <3

Your blog always managed to put a smile on my face. And this is a thought bubble I made last week after reading about it on your site: http://hobbitveve.tumblr.com/post/700478561

I think it's hilarious and I keep giggling when I stand under it!
