Let's List the Happys



I'm having technical difficulties today, sigh.  This is the runner up photo instead of a photo that I'd love to share but because of whatever reason, you just cannot see it today :)

What makes me happy:

-the sun has been shining more often than not this week
-the snow is so melted and condensed I can walk on it without sinking
-the birds are singing joyfully today not knowing cold
-I still have one bar of "good" chocolate left
-finally I'm casting of the body of the sweater, it's been a long time coming
-getting mail and sending mail
-my haircut
-friendships forged through the blogging community
-the rabbit hole of ravelry :)
-stretching grilled chicken into three separate meals-(read that as not cooking!)
-discovering that chicken salad is fabulous with sweet red peppers as well as celery
-dried apricots
-crossing items off of my to do list

Have a lovely weekend :)

  1. I made a chicken last three meals too and my Mike was able to eat chicken salad for lunch two days in a row, he loved it.
    I am so thankful for the friendships made from this on- line world, it makes the world so much smaller and my world so much larger!
    I have been thinking about your haircut all week and really want to make an appointment at the salon.
    I hope your weekend is a great on Karen and happy knitting.

  2. Another vote here for cooking chicken once and eating several meals from it. I'm veggie, but the chicken I cooked yesterday means several meals for my husband that I don't have to cook :)

  6. I love your happy list! Most of our snow is gone but I'm hearing a dirty rumor that more is to come on Monday. Not sure if that will make my happy list. Have a great weekend Karen!

  14. I love your list of happys. It reminds me to focus on them. I think I'll focus on my knitting this weekend. I'll try to break some bread and maybe take my son to the movies. I promise to exercise and get my heart rate going for 60 minutes on Sunday. Your chicken salad love reminds me of my Pesto orzo salad happiness. One box of orzo, some pesto sauce from the fridge section in the market, some chopped veggies, makes a week of happiness either with some protein :sauteed/grilled prawns, chicken or even on it's own. :)

  17. Lovely list Karen, I managed to stretch a chicken too this weekend. I roasted one on saturday instead on sunday as ahmad was tutoring in london. I made chicken and mushroom pot pies on sunday. One for our supper and one to freeze. There is still some left over for salad or sandwiches. It's amazing how good it feels to make it last so long. Amazing too how good a hair cut can make you feel.
    I wonder if you still have the bar of 'good chocolate.'

  18. What a great list of happies. :-) My favorite chicken salad includes chopped celery, red onion, red bell pepper, greek yogurt, lemon and salt and pepper. Fast, easy, tasty. Sprinkle on some chopped nuts if you feel like it. And I've been on an apricot jag too. Maybe it's the time of year...
