Things that make me happy, even on a Monday:
1. Four-day weekends. That was pretty nice, I have to say.
2. Turkey sandwiches with cranberry and dressing. Thankgsiving leftovers are sometimes even better than the actual meal.
3. Case Keenum. He’s the University of Houston quarterback, and he’s the major reason we’re ranked #7 in the nation right now. I come from a family of big U of H fans, and we’re all so excited.
4. Those times when I can’t bear to shut my laptop because the words are just flowing. Such an amazing feeling (one I need more of).
5. Downton Abbey. I got hooked on this amazing historical drama from the UK about a house and all of its occupants, family and servants, in the early 1900s. And now I can’t wait for more episodes!
Happy Monday, everyone! Anything making you happy this week?

I'm a major fan of Downton Abbey! I love that show and have been suffering from withdrawal since the 2nd season ended a few weeks back. Ah well, I guess I'll have to settle for watching a ton of Christmas movies :)
ReplyDeleteGlittery blue nail polish! How random and odd? Oh, and The Walking Dead's mid-season finale. Holy cow, I didn't expect what happened!!!
ReplyDeleteI MUST try Downtown Abbey.
ReplyDeleteI've heard several people mention Downtown Abbey. Maybe one I need to check out:) Glad to hear the words were flowing...I love that feeling too!
ReplyDeleteOh I could definitely go a turkey and cranberry sandwich right now! And I loved Downton Abbey, series 1 - great writing.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week! x
Yay for the writing going well! Also enjoying amazing holidays like Thanksgiving. I need to American myself up so I can celebrate next year.
ReplyDeleteHappy-making: having an actual storyboard (even though Act III is now almost empty, argh); having a list of writing books on my Christmas list; all the Christmas movies I have yet to watch; US bloggers back in the blogosphere.
Turkey sandwiches with cranberry and dressing are the best.
ReplyDeleteI love Downtown too! Those sisters...wow! I would never treat my sister like that.
ReplyDeleteI love leftover turkey sandwiches too...cold dark meat on 100% whole wheat...yum.
ReplyDeleteWill have to look into Downtown Abby. I love historical stuff, esp British historical stuff.
And laptop wordflow. Yes, I'd love more of that too!
My co-worker was just chatting me up about Downton Abbey, sounds like I need to watch it so you and I can gush at our next Italian meet-up!!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing good things about Downton Abbey. I guess I'll have to add that to my very long Netflix list.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great!! Hummus and pita chips make me happy. Being inside during a thunderstorm and chocolate are also making this Monday bearable.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, agree with those turkey and cranberry sandwiches. I think I know what I'm having for lunch today!
ReplyDeleteThe sun shining makes me happy today, as does a dollop of half n' half in my coffee. :)
Happy Monday! I'm glad you had a good four-day weekend. And who doesn't love being in the groove of writing? I say write till you drop (or your laptop battery dies).
ReplyDeleteHave a couple of solid hours to myself to write! that makes me very happy.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... a clean house is making me happy today. And almost being done with book two!
ReplyDeleteThe 4-day weekend was great. Now to wait for the next big break less than a month away.
ReplyDeleteI think I will buy Downton Abbey for my mum for Christmas since everyone loves it so much!
ReplyDelete#1 is definitely the best thing about Thanksgiving and Christmas. :D
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list! Good movies and popcorn and peach-citrus Fresca. How's that? :)

I've heard great things about Downtown Abbey for a while now. How do you watch it? (BBCAmerica? Hulu? Netflix?)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm totally envious of your work space.
Downton Abbey is honestly one of my favourite things ever, gets the heart going!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the writing's going well! :)
I've frequently found myself lingering by Downtown Abbey on Netflix, but have yet to watch. Glad to hear that you liked it!
