Things That Make Me Happy

I talked to Dr. K yesterday and I brought up changing my meds.  I just finished weaning off one med, so after we see how things go with that, we are going to talk about changing my sleeping pill.  Thank the Holy Medicine Gods!!!  To put it lightly, I am NOT sleeping well.  I need a little more, maybe a lot more, medicine magic.  

Well, since I've been so down lately, I decided that I needed a more upbeat post - for your sake and mine.  Even though I'm really depressed, here are some things that help me not totally lose my sanity.  Yay for little things that make me happy.  Here we go:

I'd so much rather drink a Diet Dr. Pepper than water, but if I get too dehydrated, I get migraines.  Yuck.  So in my efforts to drink more H2O, I have become obsessed with the Crystal Light Cherry Pomegranate flavor.  It tastes good and it even has vitamins to build immunity!  Yum!

My car!  Gives me independence and freedom and a place to belt out songs on the radio.  Mine isn't as nice as this one.  But mine is cooler because it's jet black.  I have yet to name it, so if you have any ideas, let me know.    

Hershey - my cute cockapoo (we presume - she is a pound dog).  I snapped this photo at kind of a weird angle so it's hard to tell that it's a dog, but use your imagination.  She is on her favorite perch on the sofa by the window overlooking the garage.  Whenever someone opens the garage, she comes rushing to the window to see the car pull in.  Then she races to the basement stairs so she can meet us when we come in.  She has a cute little tail that swirls in circles in rapid fire motion.  It's adorable!  Hershey isn't exactly my dog though.  She's my parents.  They got her 3 years ago when I wasn't living at home.  But I've adopted her as mine since I've been home.  

Okay, so I was a BIG skeptic of NetFlix before I got it.  It sounded really sketch and like more trouble than it was worth.  However (a BIG however), it is actually the most ingenious concept!  It will bring world peace.  I love trying out new TV shows from Netflix.  I just got Gossip Girls Season 1 in the mail so I'm going to try it out.  A lot of people like it, who knows...  

I was always a Burt's Bees girl until THIS - Philosophy Lip Gloss in Gingerbread.  I love it because it makes my lips shiny.  New concept for me.  I own two - one for my room and one for the purse.  I'm high maintenance, I know.  :)

Okay, these lollipops are my new obsession. It was Nips, but these lollipops are I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E.  Sour apple candy covered in caramel goodness - on a stick!  Can't get any better than that!  I just bought two bags.  Go big or go home!

And last, definitely not least - my best inanimate object friend: my down North Face jacket.  I've had it for a couple of years and I'd have to say that it is one of my all time best purchases.  I wear it ALL the time - outside, inside, in bed, on the couch... (perhaps verging on unhealthy???)  

As you have surely noticed, I have some weird formatting problems here (like where the heck did the underline come from and how do I turn it off?), but this post is much better than the other one I did where I alternated pictures and text.  I'm learning!
