Life Is Good

So Soccermom tagged me with the Life is Good award. To be honest, I had kind of fallen out of the whole award thing - not that I don't appreciate them - but this one has an intriguing component. The giver asks the recipient questions to be answered in his or her own post. Here are Soccermom's questions:

1. How do you define happiness?

Hugs. Good jokes. Saying "I love you." Hearing "I love you". French fries. Glee. 30 Rock. Reading. Diet Pepsi. A clean house (I know, I know, but I like clean things. I just despise doing the actual cleaning). Watching a child learn something or try something new. Tone up flip flops. Sunshine. Vacations.
2. Happiest childhood memeory.

Probably any time I got to be with any of my cousins. I am an only child and I hated being one. So hanging out with my cousins was almost like having brothers and sisters and I loved that.
3. Whats harder to have? To have loved once and let it go or to have NOT loved at all?

Oh crap. I honestly don't know. I think it depends on the person and the situation.
4. What brings a smile to your face?

My family. Dirty jokes. Political humor. A really good sale. New books by my favorite authors. Catching Sixteen Candles on TV.
5. Something you have not yet done, that would make you happy?

I would love to go to Italy and to take my kids to Disney.

So I'm not going to  award the Award. At this point I'm reading something like 300 blogs and they are all fabulous and deserving of awards. So instead I'm going to post my own questions for you all, which you can answer in the comments or on your own blogs when you're stuck for a topic.

1. If I told you to put on your all-time favorite outfit, what would you be wearing?

2. What made you happy in high school?

3. If you could only have 3 books and 3 TV shows for the rest of your life, what would they be?

4. When was the last time you laughed out loud? What inspired you?

5. What movie makes you happy whenever you watch it?

Some Questions For the Universe

1. Is it possible to get a sinus infection suddenly, in July, when no around you has been sick and you haven't even had a cold?

2. How is it possible that even after following all the food introduction rules and continually placing vegetables on their plates my children STILL won't eat any vegetables?

3. Why does Diet Pepsi with caffeine taste better than Diet Pepsi without caffeine?

4. Where are all the missing socks, anyway?

5. Why can't I think of anything to post about?

6. Why does New Jersey require a prescription for pre-natal vitamins?

7. If I join Twitter, what will stop me from becoming addicted?

8. Speaking of addicted, why don't I have any M&Ms in the house?

9. Where HAVE all the cowboys gone? (points if you can remember who sang that song, because I can't)

10. Why won't Abba reunite?

11. Why are there so many assholes?

12. Why don't bad things happen to bad people. . . .only?
