Simple Pleasures

Lately I have been thinking about little things that make me happy so I thought I would share some of them with you.
1- An empty sink. I love to see an empty sink in front of me. I especially love it if someone else has done the dishes. Of course I am focusing on real pleasures and not daydreams.
2- Nap time. I love cuddling my little man until he finally goes off to sleepytime.
3- I absolutely love reading friends blogs and seeing what they are up to. It makes me so happy to see how lucky I am to know such wonderful people. And even though I don't get to see them very often I still get to keep up on what they are doing.
4- Itunes!! I adore the "you might like this" feature and the "if you liked this artist you might like this artist". You can find the best music that is never played on the radio.
5- A good program. Mama loves a good program. There is nothing better then a good program and a diet caffiene free coke. Like today Oprah was so good. It was about a nuerosurgeon who had a stroke. It was totally fascinating. And they played with real brains and you could tell Oprah thought it was gross.
6- Finding an unknown/independant/foreign movie that turns out to be awesome. It is like finding treasure.
7- Netflix. I get so excited to see the red envelope in the mail. I know I pay for it but it feels like I just got a present.
8- Non Junkmail/Bills mail. I love snail mail that comes from a friend. It is the best to get a card in the mail. I feel like a little kid when I get one. I dance around and say oh oh oh I got something oh oh oh.
9- Random acts of kindness from strangers. I love to be reassured that the world isn't full of a@#holes. It is so nice to have a stranger smile at you and do something simple like offer to return your grocery cart for you.
10- Slippers! There is nothing better then putting your foot into a little piece of heaven. Its like walking on clouds. I don't like grown up slippers. I like ladybugs, fish, hedgehogs etc. They have to flip flop, otherwise I feel like my feet are suffocating. I really don't like bunny slippers they are just way to cliche.
