What random things do YOU like?
*Husbands, for sure! Especially ones that do things sweet and/or adorable.
ReplyDelete*My (mountain) bike right after my sweet husband has recently "tuned" it.
*Early Easter basket from my mom, with little-girl "lipsmackers" and sugar gum and Cadbury chocolate eggs.
*Sitting in garden watching tulips bloom, sipping from pot of Hot, SWEET SWEET SWEET tea** with half-read novel in hand. On a chilly sunny day with blanky to keep me company.
*The first bite of a new, spicy- baked-lentils recipe my husband's cooked for me, after the first sip of wine from the bottle his parents just bought for us. (Though sometimes a huge gulp of sparkling water is the sublimest start to the meal!)
*Compliments! (Who doesn't love a sentence beginning, "The thing I really LOVE about you...")
*A "stack" of unread letters or e-letters. Esp. from Collette. (I think this is universal.)
*Life...
(**NOTE: allusion to favorite Gertrude Stein poem. For the diabetic, or caffeine- sensitive, imagined tea can be herbal, w/ or w/o sugar substitute.)
This deserves its own "entry":
ReplyDelete*Bloggers who graciously allow rambling, wordy comments, and, especially:
*Bloggers who create SEVEN posts in TWELVE days!!
-when my little girl smiles at me
ReplyDelete-reaching your destination after a long hike.
- Finishing a spin class
- Being able run to the top of a big hill without stopping.
- When my husband gets home from work.
- A hot shower
- Trying new recipes that taste good.
- completing a cross stich
- When my rolls turn out

Wow keep the comments coming! These are so fun! Heidi you're so funny... I liked your NOTE! hee hee I may have to get that spicy lentil recipe you made mention of... oh and about the 7 posts in 12 days... I'm a bit stunned that I've done so many! A little embarassed actually... I've been really bored these last couple weeks, what can I say?
ReplyDeleteAnnie, quit exercising so much you're making us all look bad! j/k Maybe one day I'll know what it feels like to RUN to the top of a big hill without stopping. At this point I feel good to make it to the top of a big hill at all! Oh and I have to agree with you on 'when the rolls turn out'. Very satisfying!
