The road less travelled...

The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 some people and force them to suggest that they post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while.

Considering that I was in the foulest mood possible yesterday, this is a very good thing for me to do!

1. I bought the 'Shake'n'Shimmy' edition of Hairspray on Saturday when JB-HiFi was having a 30% off sale. The extras are wonderful with lots of extra bits and pieces, and I love the story and music, so that gave me lovely things to watch all weekend.

2. I am in the middle of Eva Braun: A Lost Life and am finding it really fascinating. It has lots of historical details (can't be sure how accurate it is, of course, but it fits in with everything else I've read, so it can't be too far out).

3. I am still dancing and loving it.

4. I am only 600g away from my short-term weight-loss target and am losing about 3/4kg per week. I am also getting lots of compliments. 'Tis very fine.

5. Dad is getting married in 47 days (not that I'm counting or anything). He is then (provided the alterations to Pauline's house are finished) moving out.

6. He has also promised to pay for me to have new bookshelves installed, floor to ceiling, the length of the lounge room (about 25 feet). This means I can have my entire book collection on display for all to see.

7. I have managed to obtain DVDs of the Kevin Kline Pirates of Penzance in both the New York stage performance and the film version which I have loved ever since I was about 6 and used to watch it at my grandmother's house.

8. This summer I have been down the beach at least two days every week. I had forgotten how much I love living in a bayside area.

9. Despite having spent 7 hours on Sunday delivering Yellow Pages phone books, I am not particularly stiff or sore. I think this must mean I have much better muscle tone than I used to. The sunburn I got has also all but faded to brown. Even my chin is tanned. *g*

10. Hmm, seem to be fishing a bit now. Oh, I know. The weather. Yes, really. After two days of 40+ degrees last week, it's only (!) going to be 31 today. And cooler tomorrow. Thank B*^$(y God for that.

Oh, and is there any quick way to upload a mood theme?

And I won't force anyone to do this. Feel free if you want to!
