Since many of you found yesterday's post to be depressing (I didn't mean it that way, I swear!  Just giving some examples of my overactive imagination), I have decided to make a list (list-making is one of my favorite pastimes) of the things that do, indeed, make me happy.  Because I am happy, I promise.  Stressed at times, but happy.  So here goes:

1.)  Our Co-Producer brought me lobster bisque from Ruth's Chris Tuesday night after the swanky producers' dinner to which I was not invited.  It's apparently all I would talk about on set when our craft service guys would set out minestrone and chicken noodle and other such nonsense, so the Co-Producer promised to make it happen, and, true to his word (as he has proven to be time and again), he followed through.  He has also become a blog reader, so please, everyone, say hello to my Hero of the Week!

2.)  In a flood of independence, I ventured out to OSH last night and bought a socket wrench.  Am I even spelling that correctly?  See, the metal thingies that hold my license plate on (no, I don't know the difference between a nut and a bolt, fucking sue me) were rusted, so I had to wrench them off.  Hence, I thought (or the Designated Driver told me) that I should buy a wrench.  So I did.  I will now not be put in prison for driving with expired tags.

3.)  Oscar Nom is yet again in town, and I'm having dinner with him tonight.  And, unlike the nights when we were in production, we won't have to meet up at 10 o'clock, or, as I like to call it "Past My Bedtime." 

4.)  I had time to go to OSH on a weeknight!

5.)  After scores of cursing, the Designated Driver has hooked up the Tivo.  I'm sure I didn't help, seeing as to how I was sitting on the couch eating lobster bisque and squawking, "It's not working.  I don't see a blue screen.  Are you sure you're doing it right?"  Of course, the Designated Driver used her token reply to my bitchiness when she said, "You soooooo need a man."  To which I replied, "I soooooo need to watch and record Law & Order."
