Hi friends! I hope you're having a wonderful day today. This morning I went back onto my Facebook memories (as ya do and just end up cringing at yourself the whole time) and do ya'll remember back in like 2011 when Facebook had that notes app you could write long stuff in? I miss that and I really don't know how to access the archives of that because I had some good writing in there. Damn it, I'm already getting off track here. Anyway, this morning I saw a note that was titled "100 things that piss me off" and I was like well that's kinda depresso espresso but then I remembered I also did one about 100 things that make me happy, so I thought for today's blog, we'd have a crack at listing 100 things that make me happy in 2024! Please enjoy.
