My Happy List

As usual My Happy List runneth over.

Right now as I type this I am super happy because my house is filled with people I love.

My folks came to cheer Bog Daddy on as he runs his first 10K tomorrow morning.

J is happy snuggled in her bed, ready to wake up bright an early on a Saturday morning to cheer for her daddy. Such a sacrifice to rise before noon on a weekend ya know.

And my sister Amy and her hubby and boys are here too. Amy is going to run with Big Daddy and her hubby and 2 older boys will do a 2 mile walk/run.

After the 10 K everyone will come back here for a little BBQ poolside.

It's gonna be a great day!

Now onto some material Happy List items...it's been a while since I shared some things that I am loving right now.

A few months ago my FAVORITE candle company Illuminations went out of business. THEN I heard that Yankee Candle bought them...er, something like that...business stuff, blah blah blah.

Anyway, my FAVORITE scent from Illuminations is Pineapple Cilantro and I was down to the last candle.

At Christmas I told everyone who asked what I wanted that I wanted Pineapple Cilantro candles....FROM YANKEE....woo hooo. I love this scent...it smells just as awesome as the Illumination candles but lasts twice as long.

Go get yourself one today...trust me, you will LOVE it.
I have been having trouble sleeping again and asked my Doctor about anything natural and over the counter that might help. She recommended Melatonin. Hello Lover, where have you been all my life?

Seriously, this stuff works.

The pharmacist I spoke with said it doesn't work for very long and that the body can build up a resistance to it, so I am going to enjoy the sleep while it lasts. I have only had to take it a few times but the sleep is deep and I wake up feeling FABULOUS!!
I have been on a bit of a Red Vine kick ever since I realized I can eat as much as I want and not have it affect my blood sugar.

Holy Diabetic dream come true!!

Red Vines, my new boyfriend. since my true love CHOCOLATE practically sends me into a coma every time I eat it...the Red Vines are a good stand in when I need something sweet.

Though my heart will always belong to chocolate.

I have such a thing for things that are BAD for me.

Hope Big Daddy & Amy have a great run tomorrow. Yay for your family for supporting him, that is so cool! Mmmm YUM Red Vines, we just bought a tub the day before yesterday at Costco. I think I may need to go get myself one of those candles... that smell is right up my alley. Although, if it came in Scentsy it would be even better! :)

I love happy lists. They're always so... happy! Go figure!
Someone recommended melatonin to my hubby, but there are warnings against it for people who've had seizures, and he used to be epileptic :( . Bummer. Glad it helps you!!

Hope Big Daddy did great on his run!

Melatonin is my best friend! I havent built up any immunity to it yet but I only use it when I need it...like after Ive had several nights in a row of no sleep and know that I NEED it!

Oh red vines how I love thee!
