The last few post I’ve made have been a bit, well, d..o..w..n.. I keep getting messages and comments trying to cheer me up, and though I truly appreciate the assistance, I’m generally a happy person. So, in this multiple-post night, I want to cheer myself up and hopefully cheer you up as well. The main reason?
My.
Parents.
Arrive.
In.
2.
Days.
So, because I lurves me a list, here’s a little list of things in my Happy Place (in no particular order):
* TiVo - the greatest invention since the television. If you know me, you know I lurves me some TiVo.
* Someone else doing the dishes. HockeyMan is doing them AS I TYPE. Shhhhh… don’t disrupt his flow, or I’ll be left with a grumpy man and dirty dishes.
* Someone else doing the laundry. My mother arrives in 2 days, so that means 2 full days of laundry before she arrives. To know her, is to know she LURVES her some laundry. She will force you to remove your pants on the spot so she can have a full load. The ‘rents drive for 7 hours to get here (not 10, or 20 or 30 - 7), and trust me, she will have laundry to do the night she arrives. If I don’t do the 15 loads waiting for me before she arrives, I will get the, “ANGELA! How can you let this happen?” NO ONE calls me that but her, so you know she’s serious. Happy Place, Happy Place Happy Place… At lease she’ll do the laundry while she’s here! WOOHOO!
* Baked goods. Really doesn’t matter what, just as long as it could be sold at a bake sale, I LURVES it. (I’m using that stupid word a lot tonight. I’ll stop now.)
* Eating out. Food. I HATE COOKING.
* My MacBook Pro. Aaaaahhhh… HowIloveyouso, my MacBook Pro!
* The two pairs of blue eyes that stare back at me and say, “I Wuv Woo Mama.”
* And a professional massage. HockeyMan’s no good at it and he’ll admit it.
* Comments on my blog. Please! Comment! Add me to your reader! PLEASE!
* **Shameless Self-Promotion ALERT** Sales on my website, Good for the Kids! It’s a fabulous website with lots of unique items for your baby, your child, and even yourself. Go ahead. Shop! It will serve us both by bringing me to my Happy Place and yours for getting something in the mail. And who doesn’t like getting something in the mail?
What’s in your Happy Place?

I’m FIRST! YAY! I’m FIRST!!
We moved in with my parents (they have an apartment above their garage), for one year, and I swear I did laundry -MAYBE- ten times in one year. It was heaven!
I just have to tell you that I LOVE your design. So cute!
Also, I’d totally save up the laundry and let my mama do it. I HATE laundry.
I love when my parents or my m-in-law comes too. No laundry, no kitchen cleaning for the entire duration of the visit. Horray!
The comment thing is a conundrum for me. I think people won’t comment unless they see others have commented. And if no one has commented, I think there’s a misconception that it’s a loser blog. Or just new.
I’m pimpin’ for comments too.
I only don’t hate to do laundry when it’s cute kid’s clothes and I have yummy smelling fabric softener. Then I think it’s okay.
No TiVo, but I LOVE LOVE my DVR. I no longer have to be annoyed when I can’t watch a show because it’s not appropriate for the kiddies…I can watch it when they are in bed!!!
TiVO is my drug!! or should I say anti drug?!?! Whatever…I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT TiVO! A few months back we had a malfunction where the TiVO couldn’t get new program info and it lasted for two and a half weeks until it just stopped working…I started having the shakes and night sweats..it was bad! Even my 2.5 year old son loves TiVO!!

My mom is just like yours! I call her the Laundry Czar.

I have to comment… it was on the list! I totally am a Tivo fanatic. What did we do without it? WHAT?!
