PEZ! Damnit! Knew I forgot something! (And, ditto, to about everything on your list.)

Well, what can I say, I just delight in things. Lots of things. And well, all those things are just plain good and cheery. (I liked the stuff on your list, too.)

Someday, maybe, I'll make a list of more personal things that make me happy, instead of just random stuff. That might be more challenging.

For a while in college (I think in 1996 and 1997), I wrote down 5 things that made me happy every day, in lieu of a journal. It made it hard to go to bed in a bad mood, because I would come up with concrete good things that happened every day. Hrm. I should start recommending that to my clients...

I like Chipotle, too.

I smell Chipotle in our future.

Speaking of our future - what are Friday-after-works like for you? This Friday I get out of work at 5:30, but I volunteer at 7:00, so it's pointless to go home.

What say you? I volunteer near YOU.
