Yay! It’s our 100th post!

For some reason we bloggers always feel like we need to do something special for our 100th post. A few weeks ago I was visiting one of the many blogs I read and saw that the blogger had posted a list of 100 things that make her happy.

I got this grand idea — I would make a list of my own for my 100th Georgia Mae post.

Then I realized that not only could I not think of 100 things that make me happy, but I’m sure you would probably stop reading around item #10. So, instead I give you a list of 10 things that make me happy.

To give myself a challenge, when making this list I set the rule that the items had to be little, seemingly insignificant things so I couldn’t get off easy and just list my 10 favorite people in the world. So here we go…

1. Yellow cake cupcakes with vanilla frosting. What can I say? Sometimes I’m a plain Jane kind of girl.

2. The blue of a cloudless sky. Unfortunately, I’m not seeing this much these days.

3. The fact that this is on You Tube:

(I know I’m not 14, but I love me some Jesse McCartney.)

4. Oh, and this too.

(Don’t front. You know you liked ‘N Sync back in the day.)

5. A text message from my husband in the middle of the day that just says, “Hi.”

6. Buying a new notebook.

7. Doing a pirouette in my socks in the middle of my kitchen.

8. Anne Taintor snarkiness.

9. The fact that LIFE magazine has digitized its photo archive, so I can look at great photos like this one:

The beautiful Dorothy Dandridge posing in costume for the motion picture “Tarzan’s Peril.”

10. Seeing that you left a new comment on Georgia Mae!

Now it’s your turn. Tell me about the little things that make you smile.
