Goofy Smiles

This morning on the bus, I noticed a woman with an incredibly goofy smile on her face while and in between checking her phone for text messages. It was the kind of smile that can only be brought on by a "boy". It made me smile right back (it is really contagious) and think of all of the times I find myself curling the corners of my mouth in a rather goofy smile.

1. When I get a flirty text message (preferably from a boy-- sorry, Krista.)

2. When I smell fresh baking, a BBQ, or just about anything foodish.

3. When I see a toddler trying to run, swaggering and stomping their feet.

4. When I catch myself having done something rather clumsy and foolish and I figure that no one caught me.

5. Just about any song on my ipod, especially a Jimmy Buffet song about a smart woman in real short skirt.

6. Bubbles and balloons.

7. Cookies. Duh.

8. When I remember something funny or sweet. Usually something said to me (my love language), or done for me (my secondary love language).

9. When I finally get the punch line to a joke.


Oh, there are probably a gazillion reasons why I would smile goofy and slightly mischievious... I am always thinking of something.

Karen, darling..your list is a bit skimpy! Here's what you missed:

When you make me (ahem) gag in the car, When you find the perfect pair of jeans that are a few sizes smaller than you thought you were, smelling bath and body works things, when you steal restaurant jam and sneak it into your purse, wrapping yourself in your fluffy robe, when you get to sing loudly and off key to my cd's..along side of me, and last but not least..the day you finally roll up the right rim..you will too have that grin..haha
