While I was taking my daily (ok usually every other day) daily walk I thought more and more about my post last night, that whole learning to hate and now trying to learn to love and forgive. It made me think of the list I posted a few weeks ago about my 5 biggest pet peeves, and I thought why not make a list about something I love, ya know positive stuff. So here are my 5 most loved things (Excluding my children, husband and family and friends, those go without saying).
- Clean sheets on my bed and freshly shaved legs! My girls will understand this one. Nothing feels as good as slipping into a fresh clean bed with super soft legs and cushy pillows. Ahhh I could just drift of to dream land just thinking about it.
- Getting a really great pedicure. The last one I got (months ago sadly) was a Chocolate Rub one. OMG, it was simply the best thing ever. They took me to the VIP room (because I paid a little more for the Chocolate one) and gave me a plate full of wonderfully sweet fruit. There were strawberries, blueberries, oranges and grapes. A glass of water with lemon (because I can’t have the soda they offered), and got to work on my tootsie’s as the chair massager got to work on the knots in my back! She took her time massaging my feet and legs, in all spending a full hour on them. I thought it was over but to my delight since I paid for the extra package I got a 10 minute massage on my neck and shoulders. This woman’s hands were AMAZING. I wish I could afford to get an hour long massage from her, my neck felt so much better after just 10 mins, I could only imagine what an hour with her would make me feel like!
- Going out to dinner, someplace other then a fast food dive. I thoroughly enjoy being able to go someplace, sit down, have a nice conversation and not have to do anything. No cooking, no cleaning, no listening to kids saying “I don’t like this” or “how much of it do I have to eat?” Yup, going out and letting someone else do all the work and the kids getting what they want, that’s good enough to make it #3 on my list.
- This number had a tie. I just couldn’t pick one of them. The smell of fresh cut grass and fresh cut watermelon, they both kinda smell alike don’t they? Every time I smell either of these things I’m quickly transported back to my childhood inFlorida. I mean you gotta mow the grass down there every week in the summer and watermelon is just a staple food!
1. Drum roll please….. The number one thing on my list of things I love the most is… The sound of my children laughing, any child’s laughter will just tug at your heart strings but when it’s your own children just giggling away at something that has touched their funny bone…well you just can’t put into words the feelings that fill your heart.
I like your freshly shaved legs as well 🙂
Well too bad your never in bed with me.. cause you’d be able to feel the freshly shaved legs tonight.,.
1) E-reader – 2) Laptop Computer – 3) Peanut Butter – 4) Johnny Rockets – 5) Vacation Days. 🙂
I have a vaca coming up.. wish I could actually do something on it..
Most of the time I use my vacations days one at a time whenever work is slow and I try to do the things I enjoy doing but don’t get to do enough of even though I’m at home.
We don’t get to do that where I work. I work at a school and we get 2 weeks (5 days only cause we are open weekends and I work every Saturday). We get off the week of July 4th and Christmas.
Oh BTW have you noticed yet that I’m still here even though I don’t always agree with you? 🙂
Yes I have.. 🙂
I’m lucky in that I work in a factory where the management has been trained to be flexible and allows us leeway in regards to our vacation days when work is slow and sporadic as it has been this year.
