What makes you happy? PART 2

As I am sitting in my room awaiting Hurricane Sandy, aka Frankenstorm, I decided to grab my paint, brushes, and a blank canvas and get to expressing myself. I also started thinking about my happy list since tomorrow is a "snow day" and I get to sleep in (2 things on the first half of my list) and thought I should finish posting it.
