A 2 am conversation with a friend you feel like you've known forever...and not even caring about the time - or the fact you've got to work in the morning

redsonia · 08-26-2004, 03:39 PM

Snowboarding in fresh powder
Dogs licking my face
Hugs from my kids
Finding a great book at the used book store

* the first warm day in spring when you can eat lunch at an outside table in a cafe.

* rolling in late (early) from a night of drinking/partying (or what have you) with friends and knowing you don't have to get up early.

* going in to the bar at the beginning of said evening and having the bartender smile and set up your drinks.

* having someone cook a meal for you.

* backrubs.

* watching the cartoons that you used to watch as a kid.

* random flirting.

* flirting with your significant other.

* i'll agree with the previous, making someone laugh so hard that they spew beer/soda/any liquid or can't breathe.

* laughing so hard that the above happens to you.

Fall asleep while holding somebody in your arms

Two purring cats.

Kitsune · 08-29-2004, 09:25 AM

A good cup of coffee after an excellent dinner.
Watching the sun come up over the fields and warm the world while on a roadtrip.
Hearing a song so good it gives you goosebumps.
Hearing the engines spool up and getting pushed into your seat by the force of takeoff on an airplane.
The Appalachian Mountains.
Waking on a Sunday thinking it is a Monday.
Thanksgiving Day + Blanket + Food + Family + Football.
The blue-green color the ocean turns on a good sunset.
A quiet, overcast, grey day every once in awhile.

Long lazy Sunday mornings cuddled on the couch with a cat, a dog, a cup of tea and the NYT Crossword puzzle

warch · 08-29-2004, 04:52 PM

easy laughter
snow days
sincere smiles
quiet
good peaches
red wine
back scratches
foot rubs
camp fires
screened porches
loon calls
Italy

Being admired after someone secretly rifles through your private journal and really enjoys the way you have described them. This has never happened to Me however, but I can imagine that this would be a very good thing about now.

Ernestine · 09-14-2004, 06:31 PM

mmmm, macaroni and cheese ...doh

Reading the first few pages of a new book and realizing that this is one you're really going to sink into.

Friends who know you well enough to know that if you say something that sounds mean or insensitive you were probably just making a lame attempt at humor and you're really a pretty nice person in spite of everything.

Finding a new message board where everyone seems really cool and quite tolerant of the inane utterings of newbies.

In no particular order...

An intimate (funny) conversation - when you both completely "get" each other
a foot rub
the first deeply penetrating stroke
saying exactly what you wanted to say, exactly the way you wanted to say it
A big comfy chair after a long day
A freshly made bed with crisp linen sheets and a huge down comforter
the sweet smell of timothy grass on a cool summer evening
