NBR Poll: 5 things

2»

Re: NBR Poll: 5 things

  • Name 5 small things that make you happy. Aside from the obvious stuff (family, friends, etc.)

    Here's my five:

    1. rainy Sundays 
    2. a clean house
    3. take-out
    4. phone calls from my Dad
    5. having the house to myself
    I don't know what this thing is that you speak of.
    Yes, what is that like?
    It's been so long I almost forget (why is MH home all the time anyway?)... but I think it involves a lot of naps and bubble baths and general laziness. 
    Don't forget total remote control possession (this includes the option to NOT have the thing on).  DH is a newshound and sometimes I just want it to be quiet!

    1. Fall. Everything about it.

    2. Those perfect naps. Like clean sheets, cool room, and you're totally sprawled out and cozy with your kitties.

    3. And those perfect reading times. Coffee, comfy chair, perfect lighting, good book.

    4. Clothes that are affordable and look amazing on me.

    5. Fun date nights with DH.

    In case #5 doesn't count because of the family/friends thing, then a clean house.
