Simple pleasures...
 

I love coffee. The smell, the taste, the look. It warms my heart and soul. I only drink one cup a day, sometimes two. More than that ruins the effect. My favorite time of the day has become the morning when I wake up to enjoy my coffee, eat my breakfast, and watch the news. Especially when I have a week day off and I can watch Kelly and Regis and The View.



Just thought I'd share.:)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Gotta learn about the joys of simple pleasures!

Hey EagleChick, it was your post that inspired me to share.
Thanks!;)

You're welcome! :)

I might sound like a nerd, but I love the smell of the air conditioner when you first turn it on.

Please tell me other people like this too....

I love the feeling when I wake up in the morning and I realized I don't have to go to work!! Also, I love the first cold blast of air from the air conditioner...especially this summer!!!

Simple pleasures:

-getting in to bed that has fresh clean sheets on it, and you've just shaved your legs
-buying a new magazine that you really want and reading it start to finish, uniterrupted
-eating a gooey dessert with your best friend(this is my Sunday night ritual!! :D )
-listening to the rain when you're going to sleep

Laying out on the beach with a good book or magazine while listening to the ocean ( and checking out the hotties surfing....) gotta love that! Ya just have to make sure you don't fall asleep and burn your back or stomach...that is never fun

I'm a beach gal, myself....what a life.

-birds chirping
-gentle mountain scented breezes
-summer rain that ends in rainbows so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes
-cottontailed bunny rabits
-watching wheels on a bicycle go round and round.
-chilled ice pellets that hits my tongue from a patriotic popsicle on a blazing hot summer day.
-nice crisp autumn afternoons
-taking a dump

-enjoying the beaches of BC's gulf islands
-being out in the ocean or on a lake whether it be sailing, powerboating, kayaking, canoing
-lying on the bow of a boat and suntanning
-walking out your front door in the morning to go to work and have the smell of the ocean hit you
-the fresh air of Whistler Mountain
-the opportunity to see orcas in the wild while riding the ferry

Man!! I wish I could go to Canada....but I'm stuck here!!!

taking the t tops off the car on a nice, sunny, 75 degree day with a breeze and just go driving around without a care in the world :)

Holding Hands

*a big hug from someone you haven't seen in awhile
*coming in after laying out and realizing you DID get a tan
*sleepovers when everyone's doing the Waltons thing and saying goodnight to each individual person
*having neighbors drop by to say hello
*when everyone starts singing to a song we love on the radio
*when the guy says he'll call and he ACTUALLY does! I run to the phone, let it ring twice and then try to sound breezy. ;)
*waiting in line for an hour for Coldstone ice cream and finally getting it

I agree with you on that one! Also...

-Finding money in your coat pocket that you didn't know was there

-Fresh towels after they come out of the dryer

-Watching sunsets or staying up all night with someone and watching the sunrise together

-Wrapping yourself up in a warm, cozy fleece blanket in the winter

-Massages after a long day of work...or classes

-Getting my hair washed at the salon... weird, I know. But I like when other people wash my hair. :)

-Sleeping in because you have no Friday classes

Climbing into my bed with fresh sheets, fluffy pillows and down comforter. Aaaah, I love my bed; it's the best bed in the world.

Extra points if I wake up in the morning and find my daughters have climbed in next to me! :)

when it is finally cold enough to have a fire in the fireplace and drink hot chocolate
