A sleepover with my best friend, where we laugh harder than either of us has in a long, long time.
Unfortunately her parents are jerks and that is not to be, but that’s a subject for another time.
Besides the correction my fave part of this song was always
For happiness is anyone and anything at all that’s loved by you!!!
And My philosophy was much better
Hey, I’m a theatre major, I’m allowed. Plus a RENT head (Anthony Rapp was in the revival)
Since the Beatles have already been taken too, I’ll just go with:
Happiness is a thing called Joe.
Happiness is …
Trying to fix something, and fiddling with it
and fiddling with it
and fiddling with it
and finally getting it right
just as someone comes into the room and thinks you got it on the first go.
a barrel full of puppies!!
Who all want nothing more than to stumble over the others to be the first to snorf me
I vaguely remember being happy, before I forgot how.
Snuggling with the SO under a warm blanket while watching anime, after having a nice dinner.

And then to go to hell. Level 6 preferably.

… the desired state of being.
…playing poker on Friday afternoons with a bunch of my favorite co-workers. Totally worth $20/week.
…being greeted at the door after a horrible day at work by an exuberant beagle and then my wife who gave me a warm kiss followed by a freshly shaken ice cold martini.
… finding the origin of a word or phrase.
Usually credited to Charles Schulz, who used the phrase “Happiness is a warm puppy” in a 1960 “Peanuts” strip. It became a popular poster, with one of the characters (Lucy in the original strip, not sure if it was her in the poster) hugging Snoopy.
Thanks to Dr Techie at Word Origins.
Happiness is…
Two scoops of Ice Cream
Tying your shoe string
All by yourself
(I think this is from Sesame Street…really EARLY Sesame Street)
…after a lousy day, opening the bedroom door in my (so I thought) empty apartment to find my boyfriend standing there and smiling at me.
That’s not supposed to sound at all creepy, because it was really sweet. He knew I was having a lousy day and wanted to cheer me up.
…a net full of frogs and a brand-new package of M-80s.
