Michele's Recipe for Happiness

Once again, Michele Owens at Sign of the Shovel has said it better than I. Her Recipe for Happiness:

Mix...

• 3 parts brain work to
• 2 parts brute labor;
• 3 parts family to
• 2 parts parties.

Shirk, outsource, or blithely ignore absolutely everything else.

I'd make one change: 3 parts family or friends. Because apparently Michele's family is more fun than mine (this does not include my in-laws, who are great). I have wonderful friends though.
