Cupcakes, Fish, and Rain

Yesterday my friend Sarah and I made cupcakes for our friend mother's birthday. They were obviously fun fetti cupcakes with fun fetti icing. I think it's safe to say we are pros at cup cake baking, and cup cake eating. We surprised her with them at her house and she was absolutly thrilled! It also made Sarah and I happy too because it feels so good to spontaneously do something nice for someone. After that I decided I wanted a pet fish, so I got one! We went to Petsmart and I picked out my little goldfish and I took it home with me. It's all mine! The only downside to getting a new pet is finding a name for him, or maybe it's a good thing? Hmm..we'll find out soon. When we came out of Petsmart it was pouring rain, yay! Love me some rain, and don't worry we ran all the way to the car screaming. I got pegged in the eye with a few rain drops but other than that all other injuries were pretty minor.  While we were having fun getting soaked everyone else on the planet was dry, in the store, watching us make fools of ourselves. It was a glorious and happy day.

Watching Kid Movies

I was babysitting a few days ago and the kids wanted to watch Spy Kids, so of course I let them. As I was watching the movie, very uninterested, I noticed how the kids couldn't stop laughing at the cheesiest parts of the movie. They would look at me to make sure I thought it was as funny as they did, so I naturally gave them a fake laugh, and they bought it. I realized that wasn't fair and when I was there age I thought the movie was just as funny as they were finding it to be, and if we're being honest I thought it a little scary too. I thought to myself, "what happened?". So I vowed right then and there to finish the movie as if I were a kid again. Funniest movie I have ever seen. Being a kid again is a refreshing experiece.

Hello!

Hi everyone! I'm Jennifer and I wanted to start this blog so that I can collect all things happy in one place. I think it's important that in the middle of all the chaos we have in our lives we take time to remember the happy stuff.  The Latin word for happy is 'felix', so I thought it would be appropriate to start off with something happy, and it's pretty catchy. Enjoy the happiness!
