Day 28 — Your favorite drink

Ok, if they mean "alcoholic drink" then I'd have to say hard cider cider. Woodchuck Draft Cider, ACE Pear Cider, Hornsby's...they're all so good, plus the alcohol content is higher than beer :). It's 200+ calories a bottle so I rarely indulge in it any more but it tastes so incredibly good! I love the different varieties and seasonal flavors they come out with. Also, you can make Snakebites by mixing lager and cider together. Mmmm.

And favorite regular drink is probably Chai Tea. I love Starbucks Tazo Chai in every [nonfat] form, latte, frappucino, cold, hot, plain...just love it. It tastes like the holidays. It's a spiced tea with a lot of flavor. I love it hot or cold and I even make it at home sometimes with Oregon Chai Tea Concentrate. It's so comforting and yummy!

See you tomorrow!

Day 22 — What makes you happy

A lot of things make me happy. I think weather is a big part of what kind of mood I'll be in for the day, and I bet it's not what you think. If I wake up and the sun is shining brightly in my room-I get a little annoyed. If, when I wake up, I look outside to see that it's either foggy or cloudy or rainy, I'm happy. It's like I'm backwards. I've always liked the rain as far back as I can remember.
Another thing that makes me happy is having a free weekend ahead of me. When I know that I don't have to wake up super early on Saturday or I don't have to go anywhere on Sunday afternoon, now that's a happy feeling.
And, of course, I love the holidays. From the time the leaves start changing and the apple orchards open up and the cider, donuts, pumpkins, thanksgiving food to Christmas with the smells, the baking, family, music...and decorating my own house with my boyfriend, who also makes me happy, all the way to New Year's Eve, I just love the holidays. . :)
