30 Things That Make Me Happy!

Today is a rainy day in Paraguay and on rainy days nothing really gets done, and that's ok. Kids don't go to school, some adults don't go to work and its perfectly acceptable to sleep in a couple extra hours in the morning. So, in honor of getting to sleep in more, here is a list of 29 other things that make me happy. Thirty in all to celebrate the 30th and last day of April.

2. Finding legitimate Oreos at the local despensa 

3. The weather cooling down so I can wear scarves again.

4. Cool weather also means drinking hot tea with out breaking into a sweat

5. A nicely made bed in the morning

6. Babies laughing -- when I'm in a bad mood I look up videos on YouTube, here is my favorite

7. Whatsapp -- a phone app that lets me text message friends and family around the world for free with an internet connection

8. On that note I also love skyping with friends and family. Sometimes it just helps to see their faces.

20. The view from my "office"

21. Traveling to new exciting places

22. The number 22 (Hint: that's when my birthday is)

23. Making lists

24. Airports -- It means I'm probably traveling somewhere and its great for people watching

25. That I can get a good bottle of Argentine Malbec for the equivalent of 4 American dollars
