Happiness Is / Isn't ..........
Happiness ISN'T .........

.......... trying to catch an injured duck to take him to a wildlife vet, and having him escape into the middle of the lake.

.......... somehow in the confusion of trying to catch the poor duck, locking your keys in the car and having to pay two very strange and expensive locksmiths the weekend emergency rate to unlock your car, because the only other person with your car key is camping in the desert, hours away, with no cell phone coverage.

.......... finding out later that the person with your backup car key had come back early and WAS in town. *bangs head on desk*

......... making your bed at 6 AM, on San Diego's one anual cold day, and feeling the warm spot your head had left on the pillow and wanting so bad to crawl back into bed.

......... losing three (or is this four? I've lost track) oil caps in two weeks and having the guy in the auto parts store laugh when you walk in the door.


But happiness IS ........

......... finding out that it's not your fault that you keeping losing oil caps because they've been giving you the wrong size one.

............ finding out from your ex-boyfriend that your tax refund will be ....... well, wait. Having your ex boyfriend do your taxes for you, thats happiness right there. It's also when he tells you that the refund takes you completely out of debt and enough left over to finally get that closet organization system you're itching for. (I am such a dork.)

........... a weekend with Lou, watching specials on every sort of weird phenomenon, from the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle, and of course Most Haunted.

.......... having such a good time getting to know someone that you stay up until 2 AM talking, especially when he tells you that he started a conga line of senior citizens in a bar, who chanted "V - J, cha - cha!" in your honor, and that he'll let you paint his van like a circus wagon.

......... The Internet connection back up at work!!! I love you, Internet, and I never want you to go away again.
