Waiting to watch a TV show until the entire season comes out on DVD and then watching the entire season from start to end!
Driving under a bridge during a heavy rainstorm. Your window is finally clear, and no matter how loud anyone is talking or how high the radio is on, it’s somehow quiet for a split second, until you’re back out into the storm.
What about the moment you get over a heartbreak?
Hearing a song on the radio and realizing you’ve seen that band in CONCERT. (Especially epic bands, for me, it was Foreigner, Styx and Kansas)
That’s awesome. :)
Killing that mosquito that’s been buzzing you all night, just as it’s about to bite.
I can sooo relate to this blog!
Sitting in the sunshine in an English country pub garden, sipping chilled white wine under an apple tree, by a mossy faded brick wall, butterflies in the air and bees dancing…
Clicking with a complete stranger.
Discovering a new favourite thing.
Late night conversations that make absolutely no sense in the morning.
Passionate debates about the best superpowers.
oh, and the feeling you get stepping onto/off an escalator thats not working.
Nicknames that you had as a kid that is still with you.
When you finish a really good book and you realize that you didn’t skip ahead and read the ending first.
Having breakfast for dinner…….its brinner!!
hurray!”
The VERY first time your little one says ” I love you, mommy”
Worth every labour pain times ten !
Having really really great news and there’s only one person you want to tell right now. The only problem is, you won’t see this person until the end of the day. So you wait all day with this excitement busting out of you until you can finally blurt it out to your friend.
Having something so exciting to share you can barely hold it in…….awesome!
Taking a poop on your home toilet after you’ve been away for a few days.
Hi Neil,
Great blog and an awesome idea. I’ll be checking out your book. Here is my most definite awesome experience. Pulling yourself out of bed on a cold morning at 6 am but before you reach the shower getting called by colleagues that you don’t need to come in today. Sure, hours later you may wonder what the reason was but at the moment of that call, that feeling is just heaven!
Putting on cold shoes.
the smell of burning wet leaves in the fall. (yes i’ve noted that this is illegal in most states):)
waking up really early in the morning thinking you’ve go to go to school but relizing you have an extra few hrs of sleep left! *sigh*:)
when you realize an akward silence isn’t so akward anymore
when there are no holes in a straw wrapper so you can blow the wrapper off the straw
i HAD JUST RUINED MY last gift of the gamecube and wanted another so can you show me a great gift.
When you’re on the phone to someone, whilst leaving the house and you start panicking looking everywhere for your phone because you can’t leave without it….only to realise, it’s on your ear. :) Awesome !
realizing you have a chair with castors and you can roll around your apartment at will. makes trips to the kitchen sink a snap or rolling over to the tv to change the channel while your husband sleeps through the game he really wanted to see.
USING ALL OF YOUR LETTERS IN SCRABBLE!!!
Rolling down the street in an office chair (:
the moment right after it stops raining and the sun comes out…everything is quiet and bright and smells so fresh!
changing the channel on your husband while he sleeps and not getting caught.
fake tattoos
I remember how cool I felt when I was five when I was rocking a tattoo on my arm. Of course it faded and came off within a few days.
Waking up from your dreams because you think it’s time to get up and looking at the clock and seeing you have a couple hours left.
Going somewhere where you expect to wait in line or calling a business expecting to be on hold forever….and when you get there…there’s no line, there’s no on hold music playing just a nice lady on the other line waiting to help you.
Amusement parks, the DMV, concert ticket lines, grocery store the day before a big holiday…. you go ready to be patient and wait…but you don’t have to.
Seeing people you know at entertainment events
The feeling after putting up your umbrella when it starts to rain
Celebrating with people that speak a different language – but the same feelings
Catching fireflies
The instant when you decide to give yourself 10 more minutes before going to bed, and prepare to relax a bit longer.
Feeling the cool breeze blow on you upon entering an air conditioned house on a hot summer day
Splash contests
The feeling of getting a good baseball hit
The instant you realize a foul ball is coming towards your section.
Figuring out what other movie you’ve seen ‘that actor’ in
Hearing children talk about santa clause and playing along with the other adults.
oooh….the sound of a metal bat hitting a ball. I have always loved that sound.
