Sometimes we forget that all these beloved characters started as simple ideas in one woman's head. I think I love this series so much, not because of the world wide hype or fandom associated with it, but for the idea that the books represent. That you an build worlds simply by the power of your words.
2014.
So the point of this little project was to post one thing each day that makes me happy, in order to be a happier person. Sounds simple huh? Well it wasn’t. When people ring in the new year tonight promises of a smaller waist will be made or promises of healthier eating will be said, all noble endeavors. The new year means so much more to me…
To say 2013 was a hard year is like saying the sky is blue or the ocean is big.
Personally, I have had one of the hardest set of months in a very long time. Big life events, both personal and professional occurred with several little everyday annoyances sprinkled in for good measure. From the death of a major family member to the bakery venture falling through (not to mention the two, count me two car clonking out of me) this year hasn’t been just a test it been like the final exam of a quantum physics class.
I’m a generally shiny happy person….and i was darkened. I wrote the blog post on my bakery page about what had happened with the business with a sunny outlook of “this won’t break me….you can’t keep me down,” but it’s easier to say something than to really think and do it. Because I am not over the whole bakery thing, I will be one day, but certainly not at the point when I wrote the blog post. Because Im not going to lie, I’ve cried and had more breakdowns this year than I ever have. I began feeling like I had done something wrong and this year was a punishment. Geez, how freaking selfish is that?! But…when you are wading in the pool of horrible luck you say selfish and crazy things as if they are fact.
In any storm there is usually some sunlight, and my sunlight is my family, my husband and parents in particular. My husband didn’t let me get too down….he was always there with a pep talk assuring me things would look up (no matter how many times he had to say it). He supported me (financially and emotionally) to the point of sainthood this year. I could live a hundred lifetimes and never be able to pay him back. And my parents have been there for me, as they have been my entire life, with kind words and laughter helping me through all my sad days.
A few months back I finally snapped out of my funk when I heard about a young mom (who did mommy videos on YouTube) who died during childbirth. Something literally clicked in my head and I told myself “things could always be worse, get over yourself.” And that’s what I needed to start back on my path to my normal self. And I’m still on that path today… I have so many things that are wonderful in my life: my family is growing…the holidays are now a wonderful parade of adorable kids…three of my favorite couples got engaged this year….weddings mean fun!!!…and so on and so on. My life is pretty freaking great.
But the end of 2013 is the best part…it means a new beginning. Do I think tomorrow I will suddenly be offered my dream job, someone will drop off a free brand new car, and I will suddenly know the meaning of life? Of course not….but 2014 means the prospect for better luck, notice I didn’t say GOOD luck. I’m a simple girl that doesn’t wish for a lot so BETTER luck is all I hope for. Why do this post? Well it seems like a lot of people have had a particularly hard 2013 and anything I can share or say to help out I will. So at midnight I will be smiling wide, a little tipsy, and happy for the what is to come in the new set of months….. 2014 please be gentle.
Day 10: This is proof these "silly little you tube videos" that are being made can make a rather profound wave in our world. #youtube #thefinebros #thefuture #justbehappybitches

Day 9: My new life motto
Day 8: These guys. Plain and Simple. always make me smile.
Day 7: Signs of the Glorious Fall
Ok so... one of the top 5 things I love more than anything is Halloween. Hell we had a Halloween wedding... I know the minute after my birthday (July 4th) the stores are itching to get the Fall holiday décor out.
As I was roaming the aisles of Michaels I saw this...
Halloween ribbons! Not much to most... overlooked by most but not me!
I saw this... squealed and realized the Fall holidays are approaching and that made me smile a lot.
How I feel when I see other people having fun on social media without me...

Day Five: Disney to the Rescue
Today was a good day.. smiled a lot. But the one thing that made me happy to my very core was the information on this picture.
Can't wait to try it out.
"What To Do If You Spot A Bear"
Day 4: A Soggy One
Today was a baking day. This morning I woke up early to start with my cakes...and collected all the ingredients I needed. Only to realize I forgot to put the 18 count egg carton in the fridge last night. Nice.
So I asked the Hubs if he wanted to go for a walk to the nearby store to pick up some eggs. As we started to walk I heard a far away rumble of thunder.
"Don't worry, that is way far out. It won't rain," my husband said reassuring me. About five blocks away from our house it started to sprinkle.
" Don't worry it can't rain that much harder... it's sunny!" The Hubs said again, reassuring me. Then another block later it began to downpour. For those of you that don't live in Florida, this is common summertime weather.
Here we were about a half a mile from the store in the pouring rain. I was grumpy at first and then the Hubs said "You can't control everything...sometimes you just need to go with it." So I did. And I laughed the rest of the way to the store and back.
Sometimes going with it, really changes the perspective on an otherwise "bad" situation.
Day Three: Bottoms Up
So again today was not a thrilling day. I see a pattern here.. need to change that. Anyhoo...
The Hubs and I were cruising the grocery aisles, as hip 30 somethings do on a weeknight, and I saw a bit of my childhood hanging haphazardly in the chip aisle.
Remember these beauties ladies?!
Ok for those of you with a crappy childhood or.. you know.. a penis... these "magic" bottles were a staple in most girls' toy arsenal. Get this kids, the super thin milk (it's like BEYOND skim consistency) and watered down "juice" disappeared when the bottle was flipped back. That's some nostalgic sorcery right there, you guys!!
These "Magic Bottles" made me smile and think of a time when my baby doll's well being was the most important matter of the day. ::sigh:: Good times.
This is amazing...
Saw this... had to share. Is it just me, or was he kinda a dish?!

Day 2: Video Making Boo-galou
Ok here we are. I almost got stumped and it's only day 2, of 365.
Today I was a tad down in the dumps, but that's usual the day after my birthday... sorry I'm an only child. Surprisingly, I am not that only child-like except for a few things, like this. The day after the attention and hoopla I get kinda sad, silly I realize. Never said I wasn't a bit nuts.
So when I realized I needed an entry, I was trying to think of something that made me smile today. Since I was in front of my computer doing clerical stuff, nothing exciting, (and my dog was being a particular kind of asshole today) I decided to make my own smile inducing outlet.
So I attempted to make a video of our adventures at Dino World...
So here is Part 1, enjoy. I laughed my ass off making this.
Today I smiled because I really enjoyed making this video and realizing how ridiculous my husband and I are (in the best way). So sort of an extension of yesterday...enjoy.
Best comment I’ve seen on a YouTube video in a while.
#tyleroakley are you sure you don't have an alias on YouTube b/c this sounds like a tyler-ism, fo so.
365 day mission promise...Day One.
Today is my ::cough 32nd:: Birthday. And as with most people, your birthday is usually a day of reflection...and cake...and sometimes cocktails.
But recently I have realized something... I am sometimes a very negative person. As we all do, I sometimes let the little frivolous things in life darken my days and I start being Little Miss Rain Cloud.
Take time to realize that your complaints are like farts in a hurricane... they are useless and just plain pointless. Realize there are people out there with real problems and real complaints....much more pressing than the fact someone cut you off in traffic.
Negativity is like a disease, kids. It seeps in and eventually takes over your life. I refuse to let the seep happen anymore.
So here I am, adding another tumblr pebble to the sea of blogs but I'm making a promise to myself (and who ever else is listening)...
I will post at lease ONE thing a each day, that makes me smile.
I vow in the next 365 days to just be happy....bitches.
Day One (scroll down)
Day One:
Today, the shared sense of humor between my husband and I, made me smile.
My husband Chris asked me about a week ago,
"What do you want to do on your actual birthday?!"
Without hesitation I said, "Dino World."
Dinosaur World is a silly tourist spot I have seen a million times on our way to Orlando. I have always wanted to go there, and just never have.
So...I realized waiting is not my thing anymore, so we were going to go to Dino World. No matter how stupid it may have sounded.
With a smile, my husband said "Sounds fun!"
Most people would have rolled their eyes at such a request, but not my hubs. Even though we were the ONLY people at the park without kids, we spent my birthday gazing at plastic dinos and dodging imaginary threats...and having a generally amazing day.
