I was tagged on Facebook-which isn’t quite the same thing as getting tagged during a wrestling tag-team match or a game of hide-and-seek. I was tagged twice in fact–because people want to know more about me.
Really? Well, gosh.
Afterwards I am supposed to tag 25 other victims…er, I mean interesting people. However, I like the idea of anarchy. So if you feel compelled to share some of these interesting details, please do. However, please note, if I mention you in the post I am tagging you so you can see how I abused your name.

One of the things I always wanted to do with my journals is keep a running tally of the little things that make me happy. It’s not a novel idea but a nice reminder to be grateful. I did keep that gratitude journal last year for about 4 months.
When I saw this meme (I can’t recall where), I thought it would be fun. So, here’s how it works:
- List six silly things that make you happy.
- Mention and link to the person who tagged you (oops, I wasn’t tagged and I don’t remember where I saw it)
- Tag six of your favorite bloggers to play along (no tagging, if you’d like to participate, that’s is entirely up to you as a reader of living juicy.)
In no particular order, with photos, six silly things that make me happy:
1. Blowing Bubbles
2. Courageous Dancers
3. Goofy Faces
4. Cupcakes
5. Eye-Catching Color
6. Small Details
If you do participate, please leave a comment and link back to your post. I’d love to see what silly little things make you happy.

We saw this couple’s quiz on a few Websites and also over at Facebook. Katie tagged us to do the quiz, so Chris and I decided to do it together, sequestered, and see if we’d answer the same. Here are the results.

Chris |
Mostly, him. |
