What makes you happy?

OK, I admit, sometimes it the $$$ and the things it allows, like my recent 2 week trip to Italy. Yep, I'm there and back already! I had a wonderful time... and there's plenty to tell, enough for several blogs! BUT, today, I was list making. The usual, things I need to accomplishing this summer... talking to contractors about a renovation, updating my will, etc, etc. I digressed into a What makes me happy list. It's pretty funny, because some of the things on it are so silly...but they make me happy. Here's the list!

Colored Post It Flags for work
Blue fine point pens
Facials at the local beauty school (these kids are soooo intense)
Sharpies of many colors
When some one makes me a mix tape
(I guess they're mix CD's now)
The sayings inside a Perugina chocolate
McDonalds breakfast sausage burritos with mild Picante sauce
Fuzzy warm socks
Earl Grey Tea with Cream and Splenda
C calling me (almost) everyday after pre-school saying "Hewo,
it's your C, Wanna make a plan?"
Scented candles burning for no reason
Maps... old maps, new maps, maps of places I've been
and never been
the Clinique make up Counter
Mani-pedis without a social event coming up
Getting one of my first 3 choices from Netflix


Most of these things are affordable... they're just the little extras that make me happy. I know that happiness isn't based solely on 'things', but...geez, can I help it if they ADD to it? What are some simple things that make you happy?
