#sundayfunday&pageantprobs

Hey you crazy kids. The fact that I'm deciding to write a post today is beyond me. My zainy-brainy is making me either want to rant (about goods AND bads) of yesterdays Miss New Jersey Pageant, or just not post anything at all. Sleep needs to be my friend right about now. Same with my bed, not trying to break up any time soon. So bed, let's get close and comfy!

I thought I'd be meeting my role model yesterday but turns out she had to fly back to Cali from Toronto. Like, no sorry you can't. I NEED TO MEET YOU. But my handy-dandy-phone case, didn't let me down ;) I had people telling me they were texting Alyssa telling her I said hi. LIKE. JEALOUS. I even told a past titleholder that I'm not too sure why she told me that because I want to take her phone and snatch Alyssa's numbaaaaa. Come on now, don't tease me yo.

You know how I LOVE being short because most guys are taller than me and it's great because hey who doesn't love short girls? Well, I LOVE being short until I get to a pageant and stand next to girls that are like 6 foot. Excuse me but what type of cereal did YOU eat as a child?

If your JUST tuning into my blog, welcome to the world of pageants. If you are an avid follower..thanks for waiting to unfriend/unfollow me on social media. You're the ish. 

Little things in life mean the most, ya heard?

Have you ever read the book Things to Be Happy about? Or Been on the website?

Have you ever just had that nice breeze of happiness when you think about something that fills your heart with warm and fuzzies? 

Go explore the website. It will have you leaving with appreciating the little things in life more than you know.

What will you find on my happy list? Well...

Frank Sinatra. His voice, regardless of the age. It's truly timeless to me, and reminds me of my parents blasting it during car rides as a child. Clearly he has such a big impact on my life that I name part of my blog after him. Kind-of-a-big-deal? Heck yes.

Polynesian Hotel at Disney in Florida. Something about that hotel makes me so happy. I love when I get random whifs of who the heck knows what smell it even is but sometimes I find it and it brings me back to my childhood running around on a cool Florida morning getting ready for brunch at my favorite hotel. Also associated with Disney, the GREATEST place ever aka instant happiness.

The color yellow.

Smooth Jazz. Again triggers a sense that reminds me of my childhood.

Sunsets.

Singing in the Rain (the movie). Granted I love singing in the rain like literally singing in the rain, but I love the feeling of an old fashioned movie and songs.

Pageants. Psh as if ya didn't know that about me.

Cinnamon Sugar Eggo waffles that haven't been toasted. Trust me they aren't like rock hard coming out of the fridge (for whatever reason) so I eat them cold. and I am a happy child young adult.

Reconnecting with friends you haven't talked to in a while and you talk as if you haven't missed a single day.

Thinking about days at sleep away camp. 

Working at a summer camp and seeing the little girls flock to you because they admire you so much and want to be just like you.

How close I am to my immediate family.

Discovering new songs...which are soon put on repeat forever.

The fact I can basically go to ANY state and know I have a friend I could stay with.

Israel. Israel. Israel. Israel. My forever home.

(and the memories/friendships I've made on my trips)

PUPPIES. obv.

Watching home-videos/reminiscing on family inside jokes.

When my role model acknowledges me. 

The Jersey Shore. NOT THE TV SHOW. The place I've gone every summer of my entire life.

Birthday celebrations.

Old school disney movies.

Having to visit a Margaritaville every family vacation we go on.

On that note? Jimmy Buffet

Finding a new book that you just can't put down.

Family movie nights.

Summer concerts with best friends (and a summer shandy..shhh!)

Linking up with my spirit animal, Whit for back that azz up with some feel good jams.

Whoa! After writing this all down, I just feel the happiness oozing out of my fingertips.

Cool. I guess...

:)

So...

What makes you happy?!
