Why are you happy today?

There's so much negativity floating around at the moment on TT it's starting to get me down.

We have threads on "my relationship's shit, what shall I do", "I hate it in Munich/Germany/wherever", "my boss is crap" (think i was guilty of that one!), "my job is shit", "The Vent", "I can't find decent chocolate cake" etc

Even the "happy place" thread is born of unhappiness.

Let's celebrate happiness. So why are you happy today?

I'll start: I am happy because we have a new temporary secretary, she's hot and is showering me with attention for no apparent reason

Im happy thinking about Lassie and his secretary taking a shower. That and my flat is clean.

I'm happy because my flat is clean too!

I'm happy because I've been working with a crappy old mouse for the last few months - and today I got a new one!!!
YAY!!! and it's truly FAB

I am v. easily pleased, I know...

I have TONS of happiness and positive energy to share - anyone is welcome to have a bit of it

I have a new outlook on life after my weeks holiday. I read 2 very inspiring books that have helped me to be positive and change the way I look at life.

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho and
The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle

Have started my fruits/veggies/fish diet again and am successful (so far

Can now run 5 whole min at a time. I know it sounds lame, but a month ago when I started trying to run again after a 10 yr absense I could only run 30 seconds.

Also, have a VERY slow week this week with work which is wonderful for first week back after holiday.

So, no negativity here

I feel great today, went shopping bought the Books Eurobabs read, and look forward to reading them, stopped by the office, as I am back to work tomorrow and noticed that the coworker I hate got my room all ready and had everything sterilized and ready for me. Shocked me.
Bought a new Dirndl today and look smashing in it.

So, anybody need a hug? Here is a BIG HUG coming your way!

PS
I also just started reading Goldie Hawn's autobiography which I have been looking forward to for months. I am also happy about that .

I'm even happier because my flat needs a clean and I might just have found two girls willing to do it for me...jml? bubble gum?

My house is clean and my husband is in town Two good reasons to be happy.

I have (unexpectedly in a good way) an entire week off from work!!!

I think I'm good. But thanks .

Seems cleaning does the trick. Cleaned my place for hours yesterday. Result was a sleepless night. Both make me very happy. Finally found tenants for my place in Hamburg as well. But what beats everything is a mended heart.

I just made a major contribution to world peace by eating a piece of chocolate cake -- delicious! I feel happy now.

i didn't think i was happy today (mighty chuffed off cos after just 24 hours back in Europe my phone got nicked ) but then I've just found my fave Ritter Sport Erdbeer Rhababer Chocolate in Tengelmanns, and the girl who answered the phone just then was really helpful

Im happy because I went to the zoo with some TT's and saw a fish with a squishey eyeball

Today I am happy as my parents have completed their move from Essex to Dumfries and therefore I am no longer in a 7.5 Ton lorry somewhere on the motorway or indeed stopped for 3 hours by Traffic Control for having an overloaded vehicle and having a prohibition notice slapped on it. Additionally, I am not packing personal effects nor am I lugging said effects around which also makes me happy as does not doing 2000km in a van on several cross-country sprints.
But what really makes me happy is that I have my physio appointment soon and my knee will soon not hurt like it does now.
And my flat is clean (but then it always is).
And my parents are very very happy to be home.

I'm happy because some rude english twat just tried to fenegle a meeting with my boss. He tried every which way to get through me and refused to give me any information about him, even claiming that they he knew my boss personally and had met him several times. I then proceeded to speak to him in German which he understood absolutely nothing of. I then informed him that it must be very difficult for him to have communicated with my boss since he doesn't speak a word of English. That finally shut him up.

reading this thread makes me a bit happier...as right now i cannot think of anything happy.
so please more happy news!

I am happy because I am cleaning my flat and I have the new copy of HELLO to read when I am finished (I work on a strict reward only basis!)

I'm happy, because I just spent 2 lovely days floating on a rubber raft on a lake in the inland California heat and having really great sex.

Edit: While we're on the subject of reading, I'm almost done with Narcissus and Goldmund by Herman Hesse, and I'm really enjoying it.

Reading and cleaning...does anyone else see a trend here?

Being the first day of no PM.

cleaning? ahhh! I am also happy because my room is completely messed up, I ate all the ice cream and the family I work for is on holiday...and I'm off to london tomorrow.yehaa!

Too much information IPJ, just a touch over the line.

I'm even happier now I just read Bubble Gum's blog
me likey mucho good work girly xxx

thank you. xxx

I'm happy today, because I was finally fit enough again to go for a nice long run. My flu seems to finally be leaving me for good! My muscle ache is also gone and I don't wobble around stiff-legged like a duck anymore. I am happy because I did not clean the flat, but listened to some good music instead. Good music always puts me in a good mood. So much happiness, it's hard to bear ain't it?

I'm happy today because after I finished my class, I went to the supermarket to buy a Coca-Cola Zero and a cottage cheese-- but when I got there I discovered that almost everything in the store was 30% off !!! So I ended up buying an entire shopping cart full of wine and chocolate (and other stuff that a person might need to survive)!

I've just done a very satisfying poo on work time whilst reading Top Gear. This is as good as it gets.

Ooh Jenny, make us all happy - tell us which store is that?

I was going to save that little gem for myself, Green Tea, but ok. It's the Edeka Großhandel supermarket in Pullach.

Everything's 30% off except tobocco products, magazines/newpapers, fruits, veggies and stuff from the meat department.

Edit: And it's 30% off til August 30th. Apparently they're tearing the building down to build a bigger, better Edeka and everything has to go.

Pullach?? That's the other end of the universe from where I am. Oh well.

I have to go back down there this afternoon to teach again. Is there anything specific you'd really, really like to have? I could pick something up for you.

Edit: Except coffee. The coffee was selling like hot cakes- not much left except decafinated. Yuck.

Thanks Jenny , but I have a feeling all the shelves will have been stripped bare by this afternoon, after the TT crowd have been through there like a swarm of locusts.

Everything is the other end of the universe where you are from if I remember correctly.

Happy today to have made banana bread by 9am - will share my culinary prowess with a good friend later this afternoon and then head off to Massive Attack this evening. All the while having a clean flat!!

Ooooh and the sun is shining through the windows!

I'm happy because I only have 3 days left to work, then we're off to our holiday in Ireland.
Almost three weeks...yay!

And I don't give a f*** if the apartment is clean!

I seem to be living in the wrong part of town or something.

I am happy that I get to sleep on MY side of the bed again tonight.

As it turns out "mixing it up just for fun" is not a good idea.

I'm happy today because I finally decided what I'm making for dinner tonight, and I realized that I already have most of the ingredients at home, so I don't have to stop at moldy Tengle's after work. Then, I get to celebrate my 10th month anniversary with my B-friend, which I'm also damn happy about, because when you're lucky enough to be with someone who's also your favorite person on the planet, it's all good.
Heck, I'm so happy today, I may even make these for dessert:

I'm happy because today we finally get our big screen TV back and now I don't have to watch TV on the itty bitty 27in one and strain my eyes anymore. Whoopeee!

If you believe profile data, only 7 of the 41 posts in this thread are from males.

pike- either you need a life or are very bored, if you went thru the thread to see the sex of the posters.

8 of 43 posts... the odds get longer.

Forgot your own gender, Pike?
Make that 9 / 44.
However - apart from the starter of the thread himself - the male contribution seems to be limited to analysis of the situation or jus' larkin' about.

Go to the Edeka Großhandel supermarket. That'll make you happy and therefore give you a reason to post. Yay consumerism!!

From this we can conclude that men are generally not happy.

This I could have told you before, why else would an otherwise reasonable person suggest you switch sides of the bed.

and some people have posted more than once on the thread.

Nah it's not the happiness it's the hugging each other bit that we are generally not into.

I am happy because I started running again for the first time in 2 years. I ache all over, but it is a happy ache :-)
