Illinois didn't rank so well!

A study came to my attention yesterday that lists the 50 states from happiest to least cheery. Illinois ranks at 45...yeah that means only 5 other states are less cheery than we are. Wow. Just for fun, I also marked in bold the other states I've lived in.

The state-by-state list, from happiest to least cheery:

1. Louisiana

2. Hawaii

3. Florida

4. Tennessee

5. Arizona

6. South Carolina

7. Mississippi

8. Montana

9. Alabama

10. Maine

11. Wyoming

12. Alaska

13. North Carolina

14. South Dakota

15. Texas

16. Idaho

17. Vermont

18. Arkansas

19. Georgia

20. Utah

21. Oklahoma

22. Delaware

23. Colorado

24. New Mexico

25. North Dakota

Just wait, my mom will certainly use this to try & convince me to move to Minnesota since it's apparently a much happier state to live in. :-)
