happiness is the animated cake batter in the tv box

Today was a fitted jeans and pink high heels sort of day.

Sinking my teeth into rich, sweet shortbread.

Thinking in a British accent.

Discovering that Seb from The Year of Secret Assignments has a blog! Okay, not really. But if he did have a blog, this would be it. The voice is perfect. (I also have a friend who writes emails in the exact voice of Emily from said book. She is not who I would've pinpointed as being an Emily, but once I thought of it, I couldn't get over how spot-on her writing + herself is as a match.)

The requisite ritual of going crazy at the lunch table.

Barefeet and t-shirt-wearing! IT IS SPRING (aka one of my two favorite seasons) and I am hereby IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD.

A phone call with happiness.

Taking pictures of people when I think they're not looking. So far, I have not been caught. This is because of my ninja skillz, which I assume everyone knows about by now? Yes? Good.

Cupcake throwing.

So in love with flickr. Such stark loveliness to be found.

Is it junk mail if it comes with a bookmark? On a similar note, I discovered a fondness for hot pink envelopes addressed to "Miss McIntosh." (There was also something addressed simply to "Erin." Just the first name. That means I'm famous, no?)

A happy dance to "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor.

Fresh salad that crunches under my teeth.

People. Beautiful beautiful people, who fill my world with brightness and light and love. I heart you.

I am just exploding with laughter and giant smiles and hope and inspiration and looking-forwardness. "Hopeless; head over heels in the moment."

Excuse me, Erin... When I come to America, would you let me borrow those shoes? Thank you.

This list made me h-h-happy.

I've gotten mail addressed to an Isabel *******. I still haven't figured that out.

You're a virus, my dear, and you infected me with a mega-dose of your happiness today! I hope you spread far and wide.

I must read this "Year of Secret Assignments" book now, just because of I am curious. I've never been compared to a fictional character before, so thank you.

This post made me happy. :) And I love your header, it's so... Erinish.

(And when you come out here, you and I can take pictures of people here without anyone noticing! and laugh!)

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks in English accents.
