Tuesday Topics: 10 things that make you happy

A new round of Tuesday Topics!
These are great because they keep me a somewhat consistent blogger.

I've been busy playing around on my brand new iMac at work.
I've also been glued to the Jodi Arias trial. I can't help it. I really just want it over already. 
So some peace for the families can be had.

But today's topic are 10 things that make me happy.
I'm gonna try and keep it light.

1. The boyfriend
He drives me crazy most of the time but I'm happiest with him.

2. My puppies
Especially today I went home and Roxy is always just so excited to welcome me home. 

3. Rain!
I really want to wear my new wellies and need some rain so I don't look crazy.

4. Good News
Huffington Post has an entire section that is just good news. 
I love reading it when I'm feeling disappointed in humanity.

5. Family
Especially my niece and nephew. I always love to see them.

6. Ladybugs
Or ladybug things to stash around my desk and house.

7. My new bike helmet.

Yes I'm aware I'm ridiculous

8. Online Shopping
I'm definitely not an instant gratification kind of girl. 
I'd rather scope out the best deal from the comfort of my couch.

9. Trenta Green Teas from Starbucks
Never ordered trenta before. It was a must today.

10. My Flowers
These babies have survived my black thumb. Apparently the boyfriend has been keeping them watered.
I just thought they were miracles. Even though it's weird none of the purple ones are blooming.

Apparently you can kill succulents...

So I'm still working on my kitchen organization plans. I think I'm gonna be putting the pot rack up this weekend. That's if I can wrangle my boyfriend into helping me. If it's gonna fall on his head it's not gonna be my fault :).

So I've been really wanting some succulents for my desk at work. I love the way they look and since they're low maintenance I thought there was a good chance I might not kill them (too late!). I bought three cute succulents at Wal-Mart for $2.50 each (kind of expensive since they're so tiny) and since I love procrastination I barely planted them today. Unfortunately, the one in the middle did not make it through the planting process. Which stinks, it was my favorite. Trust me it was cuter when I first bought it.
One day I'll take the time to properly stage my photos

I was looking for a pot forever and couldn't find one I liked anywhere. Then I found this wide mouth jar at Hobby Lobby and thought that it was a good choice. Good thing the third one got obliterated because it definitely wouldn't have fit. Oh well, now I have something cute and green to put on my desk. We don't have windows so I definitely need something green to keep me from going crazy.




I'll have a new post tomorrow showing what I used this fun spray paint for. I'm pretty excited about it!
