Simple pleasures

A local radio station has people call in once a week with their simple pleasures. It could be something like ice cream on a hot summer day. What's yours?

Re: Simple pleasures

  • Mine is when all of the laundry is done and everything we own is clean except for the clothes we're wearing. Unfortunately it never lasts more than a few hours!
  • my evening walks with my hubby - especially when the weather is nice.
  • I have a lot of simple pleasures!

    I would have to say...cooking and baking though.  There is nothing more cathartic for me than slicing, dicing, whipping and beating and then having an awesome outcome!

  • This is going to sound really cheesy and cliche, but you know when it's the perfect sunny summer day about 75 degrees with a light breeze to keep you cool.  Add having no plans for the day/night and a glass of wine = perfect!
  • I think mine is cuddling with DH in bed right after I put sheets on the bed right out of the dryer.  MMMM! I'm a sucker for fresh smelling sheets and them being right of the dryer is def. a bonus!
  • being outside when it's a really hot day - with feet in water / sand

    ?
  • Right now, it's coming home from a long day at work and then boot camp, to be greeted at the door by a happy husband, excited dog (Phoebe) and an ecstatic puppy (piglet).
  • I could add to pretty much all of these, but mine would have to be when the weather is perfect and you can open up all the windows and doors.  I love the fresh breeze in the house and as Natalie said a glass of wine to go with is icing on the cake =)

  • Mine would be when the house is all clean and I feel really satisfied with it. That lasts like 1 day, 2 tops. lol.
  • Right now, it's when I drive Beryl home w/o bucking, stalling, or having a panic attack when I'm going up hill.  Doesn't happen every car trip, but once I'm where I need to go I'm so darn proud of myself.  Now, if only I can get to a point where I don't feel like I need to puke before I get in her to drive.  I need severe mental help Crying  a 32 yr old afraid to drive...
  • Just jammin' out to some awesome "mood-dependent" tunes with an ice cold beer nice and handy is my alone-time simple pleasure.

    You must listen to 93.1 with Laurie Dee Young, I listen all the time!

    My simple pleasure is first thing in the morning when I walk into Austin's room to get out of his crib and he is all smiles!

  • Having a clean kitchen before going to bed! And having a made bed to crawl in to.

    Oh Tammy I feel your pain! My last car was a piece of junk and would die constantly while I was driving. Driving anywhere was never a pleasant experience and would always cause me a lot of anxiety.

  • Oh boy I have so many...

    A fresh cup of coffee first thing in the morning.

    Clean sheets that smell like the lavender dryer sheets I use.

    When all of the house chores are done: laundry/cooking/grass mowed.

    When I made a healthy meal that DH actually likes.

    Finding a good deal on something.

    Married 6/10/09 in Bermuda.
  • I have a ton, but here are a few of my favorites:

    A cup of hot tea, good book, and rain falling outside

    A sparkling clean shower/tub

    Fireflies in our backyard in summertime

    And like pps have said, that perfect mid-70's breezy weather where I can throw open the windows and doors to soak in the fresh air.  This is why I LOVE spring and fall. 

    Anniversary
  • hot chocolate and a good book

    an evening on the patio at starbucks with good friends

    cuddling and watching tv with DH in a CLEAN house

    ETA: A bubble bath with candles and sleeping during a thunderstorm!
