Happiness is...

... having perfectly watered plants.

Ray and I got these Aqua Globes for our wedding from my friends Katy and Kendra.

Katy, Kendra and I served together in church when I lived in Tri Cities. When we had our monthly organizational meetings, we would often get distracted talking about the National Whistler's Convention documentary we had just received from Netflix; or the Dairy Queen's Blizzard of the Month; or how to get all the free guys in the original Nintendo Mario Brothers (jump on the turtle shell at the stairs). We also talked business.

Happiness is seeing these Aqua Globes every day and recalling a memory about these two girls.

One Christmas Kendra's gingerbread house started falling apart as she made it. She just kept adding frosting and candy until the whole thing collapsed. After cursing soupy frosting and weak gingerbread, she set her gingerbread man on the roof and declared it "Christmas with Katrina" (New Orleans Style).

One night at a meeting I saw Katy taking notes with her left hand. I commented that I didn't know she was a south paw. She looked up and said, "I'm not. I'm becoming ambidextrous." I about died laughing. "How come Katy? Do you plan on severing your right hand?" We all started brainstorming on why it is a person NEEDS to be ambidextrous. We all came away sure that Katy was on to something, natural selection was suggesting a specimen was superior if it could use a sword with both hands. I started blow drying my hair with my L hand the very next morning.

I also get a kick out of ACTUALLY owning something advertised on an infomercial.
