Life Is Good

So Soccermom tagged me with the Life is Good award. To be honest, I had kind of fallen out of the whole award thing - not that I don't appreciate them - but this one has an intriguing component. The giver asks the recipient questions to be answered in his or her own post. Here are Soccermom's questions:

1. How do you define happiness?

Hugs. Good jokes. Saying "I love you." Hearing "I love you". French fries. Glee. 30 Rock. Reading. Diet Pepsi. A clean house (I know, I know, but I like clean things. I just despise doing the actual cleaning). Watching a child learn something or try something new. Tone up flip flops. Sunshine. Vacations.
2. Happiest childhood memeory.

Probably any time I got to be with any of my cousins. I am an only child and I hated being one. So hanging out with my cousins was almost like having brothers and sisters and I loved that.
3. Whats harder to have? To have loved once and let it go or to have NOT loved at all?

Oh crap. I honestly don't know. I think it depends on the person and the situation.
4. What brings a smile to your face?

My family. Dirty jokes. Political humor. A really good sale. New books by my favorite authors. Catching Sixteen Candles on TV.
5. Something you have not yet done, that would make you happy?

I would love to go to Italy and to take my kids to Disney.

So I'm not going to  award the Award. At this point I'm reading something like 300 blogs and they are all fabulous and deserving of awards. So instead I'm going to post my own questions for you all, which you can answer in the comments or on your own blogs when you're stuck for a topic.

1. If I told you to put on your all-time favorite outfit, what would you be wearing?

2. What made you happy in high school?

3. If you could only have 3 books and 3 TV shows for the rest of your life, what would they be?

4. When was the last time you laughed out loud? What inspired you?

5. What movie makes you happy whenever you watch it?

Ok, so I have to draw the OMG-me-too line at Diet Pepsi. I'm a Diet Coke girl. Always have been, always will be. Maybe it's because I grew up in Texas and you grew up in NJ. But ewww. However, I'm TOTALLY gonna take you up on your questions and I want an award from you. Maybe we should come up with a Cool Jen award or something. Congrats on the Life is Good award. That's a nice thing to be recognized for. I'll post my answers later today and send you a message. Happy Hump Day. ;)

Michelle - Maybe we can plan a blog conference there?

Jen - See, I don't mind Diet Coke. And I can't stand regular Pepsi. But Diet Pepsi? Nectar of the gods. I look forward to reading your answers - and you can totally take the award! I like the Jen award idea too.

Hot Guy - I had no idea that you were THAT into Modern Family. Your guy crush on Ed O'Neil is much stronger than I thought.
