How is 2010 treating you so far? I’m doing alright, thanks to the sweet blogger award bestowed upon me by Julie Lynn! Since I kicked off Christmas by writing some fun random facts for the Beautiful Blogger award, I thought I might do likewise for New Year’s Day with the Happy 101 award that I received in such a timely manner.

So here goes—10 things that make me happy:

1. Food. Duh.
2. Spending time with the boyf
3. Clean laundry
4. Disney World
5. Long walks in Manhattan
6. Watching movies
7. Dancing…or at least thinking about it
8. Photographs—taking them and looking at them
9. Page-turners
10. Sunny days

Geez, I sound like a lame profile on eHarmony or something. I guess I’m just pretty simple! No point in making up fake fancy things that make me happy, I figure. It’s a good thing, too, because the first things on the agenda for 2010 are numbers 1, 2, 3, 6 and 9, at least as of this blog post going to press.

And now for the good part: 10 more recipients!

1. Gena of Choosing Raw (who should list winning best raw blog and best raw website in the Best of Raw awards as something that makes her happy!)
2. Katherine of A Runner Wife’s Life
3. Olga of Healthing It
4. Vani of Fit for Free
5. Gina of Candid RD
6. Dori of Dori’s Shiny Blog
7. Missy of Missy Maintains
8. Elina of Healthy and Sane
9. Elise of Hungry Hungry Hippie
10. Sarah of Tales of Expansion

May you all have way more than 10 things to be happy about in 2010!
