Day 18: Happiness is:

Spending the day any way you want. It was rainy and dreary outside, so I watched Project Runway, The Bears game, and Dinner for Schmucks.

If you haven't seen the movie, I recommend it. Steve Carell and Paul Rudd play off of each other fabulously. Barry (Steve Carell) is a lonely man who works for the IRS and makes mousterpieces with dead mice that he preserves and uses in his creative displays. Tim (Paul Rudd) works for a financial firm and wants to move up to the seventh floor. His opportunity for success requires that he bring an "extraordinary" person to a dinner at his bosses house. When he hits Barry with his car (no injuries), his prayers seem to be answered. That is until he and Barry begin to spend time together. There's a little schmuck in all of us. It's what makes us unique and fun to be around. OK, this description doesn't even begin to explain how funny and quirky this movie is. It makes me laugh and laughter equals happiness.

I finished a birthday movie for Toni. John put it on a DVD.

Made more Tomato Tortilla Soup for the freezer and Sloppy Bombay Joe's for dinner.

Oregano and Thai Basil

Garden Fresh Tomatoes

 

Onion and Jalapeno Peppers

Ready for the Cold Weather

Happiness is spending a rainy day in your sweats doing the things you enjoy. Laughter, good food, and doing something for a friend.
