Sydney has found a new love... rub-on tattoos! She had one several weeks ago and then yesterday I found an 88 cent pack at Walmart. I gave them to her as a surprise yesterday and, yep, Instant Happiness!
She promptly gave me one, picked out two for her sisters, and found the perfect one for her Pop (although I'm not sure Gary will be real pleased with the fact that all of the tattoos are glittery and either flowers or fairies).
On this Random Tuesday, my question to you then is...
What provides Instant Happiness to you? What simple pleasure can put a big ole smile across your face? What little thing can just make your day?
For me right now, it's things like...
~ An unasked for hug or kiss from any of my girls
~ An "I love you thhhhhiiisssssssss much" from Sydney
~ A giggle that just escapes from way down deep and turns into a big ole, hearty, happy laugh!
~ A spoonful of creme brulee
~ A touchdown when my team needs it
~ A pack of alphabet stickers
~ A really good book
~ An ice cold Diet Dr. Pepper
~ A found dollar bill
~ A "You look pretty" from Gary
~ A bubble bath
~ Cotton candy
Share your "Instant Happiness" guarantees in my comments today, or share them on your own blog and let us know where we can see it!
Have a HAPPY day!!! And if circumstances appear to be keeping you from that happiness, go find one of your happy things and make it so!! (Maybe it's time for me to go take a bubble bath while eating some cotton candy and reading a good book. Sounds GREAT to me!!)
Edited to Add: My sweet husband had to go and provide me some Instant Happiness this morning when I popped on his blog a few minutes ago. Go HERE to see how he made me happy. I think he's a pretty amazing guy!!

LOL at me, I posted my things that make me happy on the wrong post. It's on the one down. What a ditz.
Ok I'll do it again
When my dog Abbie crawls under the covers at night to snuggle with me
When I get new Scrap Supplies
When I finish a Page I love
When I take a picture that I fall in love with.
When Ron calls me at work "just to say I love you"
When I get to read how your hubby made you happy.
Hugs
Those are some pretty (and pretty cheap) tattoos! What makes me happy is when my 18 month-old gives me a big kiss for no apparent reason. Luv this! Cuz she'll say, "Mwahhh!"

How sweet of your husband!!! Instant happiness for me is when my son calls me mama with his southern accent. It gets me everytime. :)
There are lots of things that provide me instant happiness, but right now, being preggers, I'd say pretty much anything to eat! :)

OK! Now I have tears in my eyes! What a sweet husband you have!
Now, for some of the things that make me happy!
**When my husband calls me during the day just to check on me, and see how my day is going.
**Kisses on my forehead (from the hubby).
**Hearing my kids laugh.
**Being creative.
**Christmas! Especially, seeing how everyone decorates! I LOVE beautiful decorations.
**Blogging
**Rain or ice hitting the window, while I am inside with some hot chocolate and the fireplace lit, knowing that I don't have to go to work the next day in the mess it's creating! LOL
**Chicken & Dumplings.
**Vacations
**Fall - changing colors, crispness in the air.
**Snuggled into bed with the heaviness of the covers surrounding you, but still having a chill in the air. (Don't like sweating LOL)
**Cold pillows! I am constantly turning mine over to feel the coolness of it against my cheek.
**The kitty sleeping with me when hubby isn't in bed.
There are many things, but I am afraid I would keep going, and going, and going. LOL
Oh my...those tattoos sound SO much better than the ones we had as kids. Remember the ones you had to lick n' stick? YUCK!!! But we thought it was SO cool to had a tattoo that stuck to your arm using nothing but a bunch of slobber! :-)
What makes me happy? Great question:
~A big, genuine, just because, "I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!"
~The question, "Mommy, can I give you a kiss (or a hug)?
~An unsolicited hug or kiss from my hubby
~An unexpected call in the middle of the day from my hubby...just because (he NEVER calls me, so that is always a sweet surprise when he does)
~My oldest daughter calling in the middle of the day saying, "Hey mom, I don't want anything. I was just thinking about you. I love you."
~An ice cold Dr. Pepper
~A hot Chick Fil A sandwich
~A dishwasher full of clean dishes
~A surprise meal from some place other than my kitchen
~Walking and holding my husbands hand
~When my big giant "lap dog" lays at my feet (even when I don't have a snack for him)
~A surprise "shout out" or award from one of my blogging buddies
~My weekly girls night
~A good mail day
~A nice long nap
Ok, I'd better stop here. I'm proud to say that I could go on and on. Because so many things make me happy...or should I say, add to my happiness. Thank God for THAT!!!
Have a great day, my friend.
