Happy Things

I saw a blog on Yahoo! that had a list of 101 everyday things that will make you happy. Although I very much liked the idea, the blog seemed silly as the list featured would only appeal specifically to the person who wrote it and everyone's list would be subjective. That being said, here is my list of 101 things that make me happy (let's see if I can get there!):

1. Big Band Music

2. Gilmore Girls
