“Happiness Is…” taken on December 21st, 2008

A new idea to motivate me to blog more. According to my husband, I complain. A lot. And so, to even things out I’ve decided to start a reoccuring post entitled “Happiness Is…” where I shall share with the world what makes me happy. Not only do I hope to encourage those around me to take a moment to reflect what gets you all warm and fuzzy inside, but it will also serve as a reminder to myself when I’m feeling slightly negative (or downright bitchy) that there is a lot to be thankful for.

This week I am sharing the excitement I have for my new duvet cover from IKEA. I already posted a picture showing it off a little while ago, but I was saving the picture featured above for this post to express my giddiness about my bed’s new look. I fell in love with the design when surfing IKEA’s website a few weeks ago, and was excited to see they had it in stock at their store. It is unbelievably soft and silky and it makes me want to stay in bed all day… not that I don’t want to do that normally anyway.

Actually, right now I’m very much looking forward to coming back from picking Simon up from work, making a cup of tea and curling up in that comfy bed. I seem to have caught a very nasty head/sinus cold… and my throat feels like it’s on fire. And there’s the Great Wall of China shoved in my nasal cavity. It’s so stuffy that every time I swallow, I get suction in my throat. Not a great feeling, I must say. At least tomorrow I don’t have to work, so I am hoping to be feeling at least a little better by Monday.

My Christmas was wonderful and I plan on taking pictures to make a collage of the awesome presents I received (which include the coveted “Stupid Lamb” Twilight shirt that I had wanted so terribly). Unfortunately I don’t have the energy to do so at the moment. And so you’ll just have to wait. I know how absolutely antsy you are to see what I received.

And for the record, “WALL-E” is possibly the cutest movie ever. I just finished watching it and I want to own it now. I want a Wall-e of my own. He’s so freaking cute!!

Ugh. Blowing my nose does nothing. What a waste of energy this is.
