Life's little pleasures

Just a few things that I really think are life's little pleasures - that really help you feel that moment in your life.

1. Warm cookies.


2. Clean, warm sweat socks at the end of the day.


3. The smell of your mom or grandma's perfume.


4. Homemade macaroni and cheese.


5. Your dog giving you a little, tiny kiss on the end of your nose.


6. The smell of fresh, cut grass.



7. Having your grandma tell you that "you're a good kid", no matter how old you are.

Homestretch

21. I LOVE green olives. And all things salty.

22. I love to craft. I really love beads and making my own jewelry, but I will try my hand at crafting darn near anything. I restrain myself as much as possible due to lack of space.

23. I'm allergic to a wide variety of foods, some that I really miss: potatoes, chocolate, milk, horseradish, ice cream. *sigh*

24. I'm starting to understand more and more that everyone has different types of friends: work friends, party friends, sit down-and-talk friends, go- have-lunch friends and that it's very rare to find someone that fulfills all of these.

25. My favorite thing in the world is to lie in bed on Sunday morning with my husband while we pet the dog between us. We then get up and drink our fancy, flavored, weekend coffee and read the paper. I really love the down-time of reading the newspaper. I hope they never vanish completely.
