Driving on a fall day over lots and lots of fallen leaves . When you look in your rearview they all swirled up behind you like a mini cyclone……..:)
Staying in your pajamas all day :)
When you forget to set your alarm clock but you still wake up on time. What a relief! This just happened to me this morning.
Quite! A really good one: happened to me more than once
doublestuf oreos and a really cold glass of milk for a midnight snack
Waking up before your alarm goes off, but realizing you still have a few hours of sleep!
Warm towels, fresh out of the dryer.
The way sunlight looks at the bottom of the pool
Getting more than half of the board eliminated on your first move in Minesweeper
kissing in the rain.
first time driving
the perfect day
hugs!
movie night with friends all in pajamas
obsessively tracking a package you can’t wait to receive and getting excited inside when the tracking progress is updated. On the scheduled day of delivery you have ants in your pants for it to come and then it does; awesome.
Love your posts, Susan. =)
Dropping a glass and then sticking your foot out so it hits your foot and doesn’t break on the ground.
(EDIT 5/25/09 Thank you, kate! – Neil)
Also, waking up really thirsty in the morning and finding a water bottle/glass of water that you can reach from your bed.
How everyone sings the song from wizard of oz when they take a hit of helium.
THE WATER ONE’S PERFECT!
Pulling up to the gas pump and be perfectly lined up! :)
The sounds of the birds in the morning after a long, long, cold, snowy winter in Michigan.
There’s already been an entry for this but…
waking up, realizing you slept through the alarm clock…
you’re late for class…
it’s a snow day! No class!
AWESOME!
The satisfaction you feel when your child is “at the end of their rope” with their teenager.
the first time you smell spring after a long winter.
getting back a paper you thought you had failed, but aced.
velcro.
new socks.
the smell of crayons.
cutting off that big nasty crusty toe nail.
when a stewardess gives you extra snacks.
Smokestacks.
Campfires with friends
mad libs using gross & perverted words.
Continuously voting against the oldest thing in your refrigerator as something to eat right now, and then also not checking to see if it is still edible.
Dipping toast with butter into ketchup…
I just heard you mentioned on Q and checked it out. I like that there are lots of the simple things that aren’t related to products. I actually felt better reading this. i frequently approach websites with skepticism, particularly one like this.
It reminds me of Souvenier of Canada, DOuglas COupland’s film – to appreciate the simple pleasures of who we are.
When the condom broke and you didn’t get pregnant.
-Getting a random whiff of someone you know when they aren’t around.
You’re sitting there, and all of a sudden you SMELL them, and you turn around but they aren’t there. I’ve had this happen with my close friends, and it just makes me feel warm and fuzzy, knowing I can even pick out their SMELL because I know them so well and spend lots of time with them.
Oh, and when a baby/toddler you meet for the first time LOVES you.
I met a long time friends little girl (who was about 2 by the time we were able to see my friend WITH her daughter) and she just raised her arms up to me right away and wanted to be held. I felt welcomed. Trusted. Like a good person.
When the girl (or guy) at Tim’s gets the ratio of Coffee and Milk just right………….Awesome
When you catch the free t-shirt at a concert or sporting event. My ex-boyfriend caught three shirts one time, and I told him he was being selfish!
Going to the grocery store or wholesale club and getting free samples.
Re: the shirts
He obvi. doesn’t know how to share the love.

When you are having a bad day, and your favorite song comes on the radio.
:)
-Calling someone’s homerun
-Rocking out at karaoke night
-Finally remembering that actors/actress’ name when you and your friends were stumped
-Having a job
-When you get a beer from a keg and the next person in line kicks it
-College
-Discussing LOST with someone else who watches it
-Getting caught up watching a bad movie on cable
-TheAwesomer.com
-Knowing you have nothing to do all Sunday except sit on your ass
I second the LOST thing.
I third that!
and being the one to remember that actor/actoresses name is super satisfying as well :)
When you’re having a no-good-terrible-horrible-rotton day and you find this list and it makes you exponentially happier because you found a connection with a stranger.
The burp that gets it all out
bbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooooobbbbbbbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss
rollercoasters
I AGREE
punching the guy who invented carrot cake in the face
When your in a different city and u see someone checking you out and when you look, they blush.
The smell of rain.
Laughing so hard you pee.
Quoting family guy.
Chuck Norris jokes.
When you give someone you REALLY like and they don’t let you go.
Seeing a friend from high school who always had a crush on you and now is handsome, a writer, funny……….and single.
Eggs over medium. Not hard, not soft. Liquid bits to dip toast in, solid bits to savour while they melt in your mouth. Bonus if they are served to you in bed, on a weekend!
Putting Pop Rocks in the toilet.
Feeding ants with Fun Dip.
Getting the really cool looking bowling shoes and all your friends have nasty looking ones.
Rearranging furniture.
Bumping into an ex and looking way better than they do.
Ooooh yeah the bowling shoes. When you get the red-blue ones and they get the orange-yellow ones!
