Sincere apologies as I have slacked on Oreo Happiness postings. In an effort to redeem myself, I give you the following happy thoughts:

-silly kisses from children
-crisp fall days
-good times with good friends
-REAL belly laughs
-the smell of freshly baked cookies
-strangers saying “bless you” on the street when you sneeze
-football season
-making other people happy

Yesterday, a colleague was on our floor talking to one of my teammates and he was telling her how surprised he was that the neighborhood kids were choosing smarties over chocolate candy during their pre-halloween celebration last weekend. So I chimed in and said, “I like smarties!” and he peeked over to my desk and said, “AND APPARENTLY OREOS!!!” So of course he had one, which made him happy. But he also said that watching movies at home make him happy as do vacation days when there really, truly is NO work involved at all…no phone calls about work, no blackberry, nothing!

I love my parents. They sent me lots of Oreos yesterday. The mountain grows! This makes me happy.
