The Adventures of the Boomers: Happiness is like peeing in Your Pants....

.... Everyone can see it, but only you know how it truly feels

My Top Ten Happiness List

I am so excited about everything I'm basically shaking... well the truth is I'm just really cold because its 45* in the house. ( have yet to turn the heat on )

1. The most important one must be @ number one because its my BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!

I usually make it two weekends long but as I am getting older so does my birthday celebration. But I am still going to make my favorite cake for myself... Funfetti!!!

2. Andrew, my best friend, my love, my soul mate comes home from deployment Tuesday morning! I will have fresh baked banana bread ( with no nuts! ) ready for him along with a big breath taking hug and a big smoochy!

In our first NJ home

3. In two weeks I have finished my painting jobs. Week one was painting the hideous green away. Week two was adding the color "grey beard" to the guest room aka Andrew's dad's room. I have never had so much paint on my clothes on in my hair, but I feel very accomplished and achy.

Andrew Loves Emma *for ever and ever*

4. Thank you Mr. smarty pants for skype! It made this deployment so much better then all the others! Andrew would next me every night saying " what time should I pick you up for your date?" ( aka skype date) and we would chat till he had to go t work at 11pm. Purgy puppy even wanted some of the action!

5. Speaking of Purgy puppy.... She had a birthday! On Thanksgiving Purgy turned one! But some how shes also 7... woof! We will celebrate when Andrew comes home, complete with singing and yummy home made puppy treats.

Thanksgiving Day

6. This thanksgiving wasn't a flop like i thought it would be without the main squeeze. But with a little help from my friends It was a thanksgiving to be thankful for. My friend Rebecca took Caitlin and I to her friends house for thanksgiving. Lots of food and laughter

Mrs. Caitlin my new Bff

7.I am very excited to have my make up done by Chanel and my hair freshly cut for the yearly Coast Guard Christmas Party. This year it is being held at the Renault Winery. And You know right at 12 midnight is my birthday! What a great way to spend it, and I have two dates that night :) (okay one is Caitlin but its going to be a smashing good time!)

8. The same day that we have the Christmas party we are also picking up the tree that we tagged a month ago! And the best part is the tree farm is three hours down! So if you see a tree hovering down the road, That's probably us. My mom even sent me a box of the tree ornaments that I grew up with to put on the tree. * thanks mom*

Purgy In her Christmas best

9. I was a little bummed at first finding out that Andrew and I cant go to the city for my birthday because that's the day his dad decide to come visit us for one day. I am not going to be selfish and bumm about it. So I have made myself excited about it. I haven't seen him in two years and he said that I can pick where we go for dinner. Phew... because I was thinking I had to cook dinner on my birthday
