For me??

Molly over at My Happy House has bestowed upon me a lovely award:

What are 10 things that make me happy?  Here they are, in no particular order:

1.  My husband.  Because he is my rock, my best friend, my partner for life.

2.  Hearing my stepdaughters refer to me as "My mom" even though they call me by my first name on an every day basis.

3.  Ozzie.  Even though he drools and slobbers on my new furniture.

4.  The first peppermint mocha of the season from Starbucks

5.  OK, I can't leave out the first Pumpkin Spice Latte.

6.  My family.  Because they are awesome.

7.  My friends.  Most of us go back 16 years and they are amazing.

8.  Scrapbooking

9.  Wandering around Borders for hours

10. Having a sparkling clean house!

In return, I would like to give this award to the following lucky ladies whose blogs inspire me daily...or because they just make me happy:

Karen from A Day in the Life of Karen: Her new baby Jillian is beautiful, as is Karen's story!

Tara from Pineapple Grass: A pretty awesome chick with great recipes!

LC from Live, Laugh, Love: A great motivator for anyone looking for a little inspiration!
