Things that made me happy today:
- seeing a hummingbird at rest on a branch after pollenating dozens
of lemon blossoms
- having freshly baked bagels
- watching my cute, fat dog waddle around the backyard sniffing his
territory and looking at me and my bagel with his begging eyes
- driving quickly up
the canyon curves in my mom's Explorer Sport instead of my brother's
ancient Saab
- lazing on the couch this very minute
- learning a new word:
pic·a·yune (p k  -y n )
Date: 1804
adj.
- Of little value or importance; paltry. See Synonyms at trivial.
- Petty; mean.
noun
- A Spanish-American half-real piece formerly used in parts of the
southern United States.
- A five-cent piece.
- Something of very little value; a trifle: not worth a
picayune.
[Louisiana French picaillon,
small coin, from French from Provençal picaioun,
from picaio, money, perhaps from Old
Provençal piquar, to jingle, clink, from Vulgar
Latin *picc re, to pierce; see pique.]
