I am stubborn. After three days of attempting to kill a small army of ants (and using the last of my Pledge), I gave in and went to the store for ant killer tonight. Seriously, pain in my ass.
I am scatterbrained. Cleaning up my apartment is a workout in itself. Upstairs folding laundry I hear the dishwasher finish and run downstairs. I catch a glimpse of the Bachelorette and become engrossed in the show. Hearing the washer stop, run back upstairs so my clothes don't end up a wrinkled mess. I am either scatterbrained or ADD. Can't decide.
I am happy. A smile hasn't left my face in weeks. Co-workers I hardly talk to are commenting on my "glowing" persona. Happy tears welled up as I saw the picture text from a very good friend of mine saying "She said yes!" There's a skip in my step as I walk to work, I'm humming along to songs at my desk. I would say I'm normally a happy go lucky person, but this is happy on steroids. Not that I'm complaining.
I am secretive. Only a few people know what (or who?) has been contributing to my happiness. I've been wanting to share with all of you, but life has been semi-crazy lately. Let's just say, "I can sleep when I'm dead" right? Details to come.
Life's too fun
And I'm too young
And the night ain't over yet
Like I said,
I can sleep when I'm dead

That post I almost exactly why I read blogs like yours!
People ask me why I read blogs about people's lives that I've never heard about. Sometimes I say for Escape, entertainment, but now I have a new answer. Insight & Perspective. Thanks!
I loved it.
I laughed out loud for the first time all week about the "Happy On Steroids" line.
Thanks!, I love your blog.
I'm so glad you're happy!! And, of course, I'm curious, but will patiently (semi-patiently) wait until you're ready to dish.
Loves!
xox
I'm glad you have been so happy lately.
I love to "hear" the happiness back in your post!
I love the quote...That's a motto that I go by almost always!
Cheers!
oh, the suspense! you better come back and tell us SOON!
I'm glad you're so happy! See, everyone gets their chance to be that way :-)
A happy Michelle is a happy Internet.
Do you know who first said something to the effect of, "I can sleep when I'm dead"? Ben Franklin! He's my homeboy. You have great taste in music.
Wow, I am so intrigued now!! And I'm so happy that you're happy :)
Also, I want a t-shirt that says "Ben Franklin is my homeboy".
Oooooh... Happy to hear that you are happy n waiting to hear what makes you happy.
I am... curious ;)
I'm glad things are well. I've decided not to be curious - You're entitled to your secrets. :)
See? That's karma - you deserve good things that make you happy, and BAM there it is!
Oh yay! You sound so happy! :) I'm so happy you're happy :)
Thank goodness! You have my full attention...what/WHO is making you soooo happy?
It's wonderful to hear that you're so happy!
Now I can't wait to find out why :)
It's great to hear how happy you are, dear. I love to know that things are going so well for you!
Even though I'm not one of the few who knows the secret to your happiness, one thing is for sure ... I'm happy for you. You deserve to rebound with strength, beauty and love ... and it seems like you've got it. Hooray!
Well! Now I'm curious! But glad you're feeling so good.
I have heard that cayenne pepper sprinkled on the area where they are coming will kill them, or maybe just deter or super-annoy them. (Is that cruel?) Don't think I've tried this one, although I have tried borax. It works with some creatures.
Really glad to hear that you're happy. And I'm excited to hear details, whenever you're ready to share. Enjoy every minute!
YAY for smiles!!
so now im curious!
i'm so happy that everything is rosie for you right now!! yay!
Happiness truly is contagious...this post made me smile :)
I am really hoping to be skipping with a secret of my own later. Oh and I definitely get distracted anytime I start cleaning. It's just so much easier to sit and watch TV rather than remember to unload the dishes.
Hooray for happiness!!
Hope you spill the deets soon, though.
I'm so happy to hear you are happy :) You deserve it!!!
I'm so happy to hear you are happy :) You deserve it!!!
Ohh, there's a boy! If you have ADD, then so do I, because I woke up about two hours ago and should have started laundry and packing, but here I am instead, still in my pajamas and on google reader.
Sigh.
Can't wait to hear about the boy :)
I went through my school's gifted program K-12 only to discover, while studying special education in college, that the "symptoms" of children with ADD and those who are "gifted" are often quite similar. I'm pretty sure I was "misdiagnosed."
Nothin' wrong with being secretive! Just make sure you get enough sleep to enjoy what all the secret fuss is about!
aw yay for happy go luckiness, haha. always having a smile is definitely not a bad thing michelle. can't wait to hear what is causing all the happy commotion :)
I AM gonna need details ASAP. It was not that long ago we last talked!
glad your happy. miss you :)
Glad to hear about the happiness, that's great!
Ooh, this was delicious and juicy. I want to know the secret! I can't wait until the time you're gonna tell us all. Also - LOVE the ending of the post. I think that sums up my life right now, too :)
glad you are feeling happy!
I clean in the same manner as you and it only gets worse when you have kids that ALSO interrupt your own madness. :D
i'm glad to see that i'm not the only scatterbrained/ADD person out there! i'm glad to see that you are still hear and doing well! i'm happy for you!
It's great to hear that you're in such good spirits! That's a nice change of pace. ;)
glad you're feeling better!
I'm happy to read that you're feeling great!
And there's nothing wrong with being secretive. It keeps us all on our toes. :-)
GAH! No cliffhangers! I can't wait to hear the news.
Glad you are feeling better. :)
I hate secrets, and I can't wait to hear the details! I'm sure that it's great, and I'm so glad that it's made you SO happy!
you know what? i'm all those things too.
the baby is beautiful! and i love dancing to ringtones. i totally play mine and dance around until it cuts out. not gonna lie, sometimes i just don't answer my phone to hear it ring!
Scatter fresh mint around or freshly ground pepper wherever you see the ants the most. Those seriously get rid of ants!!
I am completely scatterbrained too. Yesterday on my way to shower, I noticed my roommate was watching Lost, a spent 4 hours doing that before I even remembered that I was on my way to take a shower...
What did you think of Deanna ditching Graham? Made for some good drama! I thought she was gonna run back in and tell Chris she'd changed her mind!!!
Glad you're happy!!!
So glad you're so happy!
I am scatterbrained most times too.
And stubborn 100% of the time.
Can't wait to hear why you're on cloud 9!!
Can't wait to hear the juicy details!
Hello! It's my first time here, but this entry made me smile and I put you on my blogroll so be sure that I'll be back.
In response to you being secretive as to the nature of your happiness: it's quite alright! I think it's better to hold such things close to your heart; it's your thing, after all. Although I'm sure dedicated readers would be thrilled to share your reason.
yay for happiness!
Glad to hear you're happy. :)
So happy YOU are happy! Hopefully the person contributing knows just how happy they make you! And hurry up and tell us will ya! :)
