Rainbows and ponies, oh my!

This is among many of the reasons why I love Sprite's Keeper.  Last week, with the serious topic of forgiveness for the Spin Cycle, I may or may not have jokingly suggested she pick a lighter topic, say, ponies and rainbows?  She called my bluff and say "OK, go for it..."  And since I was the smart ass who suggested it, who am I to not step up to a challenge.

 

 

When I think of rainbows and ponies, aside from thinking about the movie Anchorman, I think of Julie Andrews singing "Favorite Things."  Personally, the song makes me want to poke sharp objects in my ears, and I swear to God, I have no idea why some people think that song is acceptable as a Christmas carol....but...I digress.  I think of things that make me happy.  And no, those things do not include ponies and rainbows.  (Though a certain little pony from Parks and Recreation Lil' Sebastian does make me smile).  Horses scare me, and rainbows mean it just rained.  So yeah...there's that.

 

 

God, I'm such a downer.   You'd think nothing makes me happy, but no, I tell you, occasionally things do make this cynical girl smile!  And here they are....in no particular order...

 

 

My nieces and nephews.  All of them.  They are just fabulous kids and awesome people to be around.  Just giving them a hug makes it hard not to smile. 

 

 

Bubble wrap.  I like popping it.  'Nuff said.

 

 

A really good dessert, especially of the chocolate variety.  I am a sweet tooth/chocolate addict. 

 

 

John Stewart.  I heart him.

 

 

The show Hoarding:  Buried Alive.  I seriously love me some train wrecks. 

 

 

Driving T crazy by doing silly things like putting my feet on the dash, getting finger prints on his phone or watch, pronouncing coupons "cewpons" and not "coopons" like he says it should be pronounced.

 

 

Wearing my PJs and just staying in for the evening.  Especially if it's a cold night in winter, curling up in a blanket on the couch and watching TV. 

 

Hugs, especially those from T.  (Unless he's just come in from the gym and is all disgusting and sweaty.  In that case, please, stay away.) 

 

 

Letters and cards in the mail!

 

 

NKOTBSB.  When they were on Dancing with the Stars, I was like a giddy school girl.  I still need to buy that CD, come to think of it....

 

 

Christmas trees

 

 

And most importantly.....T. Especially when he's "bearing down" to make me laugh.  I heart him so much.

 

 

So these are a few of my "rainbows and ponies."  Check out what other Spinners have to say at Sprite's Keeper!
