...Getting to dance again! Third week back into the Stumptown scene now, sore as all get out, and happy as a clam. I still prefer general ballroom, but there's more swing than ballroom available here. You know what they say: when in Rome, do Lindy Hop.
And apparently there are enough quality guys who dance that I'm not running into the "nobody dances with the fat chick" thing I saw in college (when I was thinner than presently, in fact). Men of Portland, Oregon, you rock. (Yep, that's where I live. Well, in an obscure outlying area thereof.)

A full night's sleep. Can I have one again, please?

...munching on Terry's Chocolate Orange pieces while watching Eddie Izzard DVDs. Pure perfection! ;D

Sitting outside a little Italian deli on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, munching on a 6-cheese calzone and watching the tourists wander around with their maps and matching nametags.

Ohh, that does sound amazing! Are you in Italy at the moment? Ohhhh...how I wish. LOL, it does sound like that's what I'm saying, doesn't it? Nah, I was outside a little deli in downtown Louisville, KY, watching the folks in town for the National NRA Convention wander around.

Lol, even that sounds nice to me compared to doing chores at home for most of the day! ;^^ Oh, and as I discovered earlier, happiness is also getting to babysit an absolutely adorable baby! I know I've never been that fond of the idea of having kids before, but I'm almost starting to want one now...

Having your bass instructor look at you after your second lesson and say with all seriousness:
"If you really practice and want it...you will be great."

Being on a diet for only a week and feeling/seeing a difference!

Seeing your favorite musical (that would be Jesus Christ Superstar) onstage, starring the original movie's Jesus (that would be Ted Neeley), and hearing him totally blow everyone else out of the water and belt like he was 24 instead of 64.
Brilliant!!

Acing a midterm exam that's worth almost half of your final mark...especially when you thought you were going to bomb. Happiness is also finding the perfect desktop background for your computer.

happiness is finishing up one defense contract, going to see my family in the same state and then flying to canada on saturday, june 7th to stay with my soon-to-be-fiance. Added to which awesomeness, I start a brand new defense contract the day I get back from canada. until a month ago, my life was going down the toilet, but the good lord has bailed me out. prayer works people, believe you me.
p.s. it is not my intention to get all religi-fied. I call it like I see it ("I" meaning me) chooses to see it that way. we are all entitled to opinions, thoughts, and views.

Spending 6 hours in the ER because you have chest pains... only to discover it's because you ripped two chest muscles. I'll take that over heart attack any day of the week.

AND it confirms you have chest muscles. And now you can officially say you're ripped! All sorts of good things in that one.
