Bringing Happy Back: A Year in Review
http://bringinghappyback.blogspot.com/2010/12/year-in-review.html
Here's a big ol' bag o' happy for ya. Friday, December 31, 2010. A Year in Review. In case you haven't noticed, I've been loathe to blog this year. It's been about ten months or so since my last post. Well, here I am now, 5 hours and 40 minutes from a brand new year, and I've decided to revisit this blogging thing once again. Let's start it out by reviewing the past year, as viewed from where I'm sitting. But you know what? I'm in a great mood anyway. I really don't even know why. Anyway, I'm the kind of...

Bringing Happy Back: November 2008
http://bringinghappyback.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Here's a big ol' bag o' happy for ya. Thursday, November 20, 2008. Something strange is afoot. I like to check my sitememter on occasion, just to see who's checking in, and where they're checking in from, and how long they're staying. One of my favorite features is being able to see how they got there. Some of you come in through your google reader; some link in through other people's blogs; some of you already know me by heart and just type the website's name and come here directly, and on purpose.

Bringing Happy Back: April 2009

Here's a big ol' bag o' happy for ya. Sunday, April 19, 2009. The Waffle House Experience. Ever since my kids moved to these God-forsaken swamplands outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, I have been telling them the same story about the Waffle House. It usually goes something like this when we drive by the one up the street from their house:. ME: Have I ever taken you guys to the Waffle House? ME: No way, it's so gross! KIDS: But you said it's funny! KIDS: Tell us about the waitress again! Our first disa...

Who'd have thought in early 2009 that we'd be celebrating Obama's one-year mark by electing a Republican Senator in Massachusetts? Political winds blow us to strange harbors, don't they? You may remember a little blog entry I wrote one year ago called "The Obama Baseline.". Anyway, now that we're a year in, let's take a look at those numbers again, and see where we stand, shall we? In Jan...

Bringing Happy Back: The Obama Baseline
http://bringinghappyback.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-baseline.html
Here's a big ol' bag o' happy for ya. Monday, January 19, 2009. Well, here we are, a day away from a new President. Exciting, huh? I, myself, find it hard to believe that 8 years of Bush have gone by so fast, but POOF! They're gone, like a puff of dandelion dander in the wind. They're all going to be asking you the same question:. Are you better off now than you were in 2008? What an aggravating question. Who ever remembers? We're so short sighted! The Dow Jones Industrial Average is at 8281.22. The Medi...

Here's a big ol' bag o' happy for ya. Tuesday, January 4, 2011. I know this seems to be a lot to ask of people these days, but seriously, everyone, can we all get a grip on ourselves? NEVER" might even be acceptable. Then it started happening. Every so often, a Weepy Sister would approach the podium. Usually someone who had a bad week or a near-death experience. They'd actually, honestly express their true faith in Jesus, and in the midst of it all, they'd break down and cry. But then people started seei...

Bringing Happy Back: October 2009

Here's a big ol' bag o' happy for ya. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The Four Pillars of Modern-Day Political Discourse. So who out there likes to talk politics? I know my hand is raised! And if any of you know me, that's as surprising to you as a sunrise. But as much as I like a little verbal jousting about the times and seasons we live in, with friend and foe alike, I realize that this isn't for everyone. But you're not me. Capitalization is intentional.). Yes, those four words are all you need to rememb...

Here's a big ol' bag o' happy for ya. Monday, November 23, 2009. You're Creeping Me Out, Lady. Well, the numbers are in, and "New Moon" is looking like it'll rank somewhere in the Top 5 of all-time when it comes to opening-weekend box office returns. Not surprisingly, either, the numbers coming in are indicating that 80% of the New Moon audiences are female. So there's nothing really shocking here to report, right? This time around, though? Now I know what some of you are thinking. "Hausfrau? One friend ...
