Little Things that Make you Really Happy

[aicdmb]

The fact that I'm Alpine's signature!

pictures of scarlett johassen's boobs/cleavage.


also, remembering that i have nothing to do in a day and i can just lounge around.

Cold sheets.
A surprise compliment.
Hearing a good song on the radio when I'm in the car.
The smell of new clothes.
New mascara.
When my son runs and jumps up into my arms.
When someone walks up behind you and rubs your neck.
Pedicures.
Perfect weather.

the short and wonderful overlap from summer to fall when the weather starts to gradually get cooler and more pleasant and the leaves start to change colors... love it

[JRS1386]

Over hearing people quote Star Wars, which happens more frequently than I would ever imagine

[gocubsgo3822]

Getting water out of my faucet when i am hungover and not having to worry about dysentry like africans

[Proudest_Raider]

When I'm driving and everything works out perfectly. I don't run into any assholes that can't drive, and the lights hit at just the right times. And the perfect songs come on shuffle.

[aclark0622]

Totally digging a new song on first listen.

[bamarags]

Cold sheets, definitely a good one
Fresh laundry smell
Alterna hair products
A simply perfect filet of steak
Surprise buy backs at your favorite bar
Having the perfect best friend

[Dave&Tim41]

receiving a text message from someone unexpected (a good person, of course).

[dmbetc]

A long, satisfying stretch.
The smell and feel of opening a new book for the first time.

Getting a care package of CD's in the mail. I think it's easier to SendSpace, but opening CD's is pretty fun. Especially when you had no idea it was coming

Oh yes, definitely this.

A wedge of cake from the fair

[spoot388]

brand new socks.


i will determine if my career is successful based on whether or not i ever reach the point where i can afford to wear a brand new pair of socks every day (no washing and re-wearing them a 2nd time) and have it not be financially irresponsible to do.

thats actually a really thoughtful of you to make it a point to do that every time. everyone loves when people notice things about them, but most people seem to be too caught up in themselves (either self-centered or just nose in the phone 24/7) to notice anything else.

that sounds nasty, but probably because i don't care for mustard.


here's something my friend told me he and his gf do for popcorn. they make Pop Secret extra butter microwave popcorn, then melt like 2-3 tbsp of butter and pour it on top, then sprinkle on some salt. i had a bag of it myself about a week ago. i felt like i was going to have a heart attack while eating it, but it was sooooooo goooooood.

I also love:
- When friends take an upsetting situation and turn it into a joke, so it goes from awful to funny in about a day.
- Holding a huge handful of towels after they just came out of the dryer
- Flipping through channels on TV an a sweet-ass movie is on
- Free lunch at work, as a surprise

and JUST started, like its 3:02 and it started at 3:00.

i love the warm weather in the summer, but the warm nights can be brutal. late summer-early fall (like around now) is the perfect mix. still warm days (in the 80s) but crisp, cool, refreshing nights.

I LOVE getting surprise mail that's not a bill. Even if it's a card where a friend says "saw this, thought of you". It makes me feel so good.

Sam Adams Octoberfest! I went to the store yesterday and saw it for sale for the first time this year. That made me happy!

A good thunderstorm when I'm trying to go to sleep.
When my 4 month old daughter smiles. It doesn't matter if I have a shitty day, once I get home and she flashes that smile at me, everything else goes away.

[temptedcandyman]

Getting to the bus stop/train platform and having your bus pull right up with no wait. Happened to me on the way to AND from work yesterday. Solid day.

Oh juts reminded me of some things that always smile.

My best friends 5 year old daughter I have known all her life who calls me uncle. I get all soft and smiley when she smiles at me with that wide grin. How she runs up and jumps at me for a hug. How she cries when I have to go. How she mails me pictures she draws. Picks up the phone when I call to say hi and tell me about school or her sports, or whatever else is new in a 5 year olds life- apparently she has figured the caller ID out! How she picked me flowers when I was in the hospital. Etc, etc - just things that make me smile like an idiot.

I love in the winter when I'm taking a shower and I look down and see that my toes are done. I think 'yeah'.

Oh fuck yeah! Just placed a great order from an overseas duty free shop that came to a total of $184 and they GUARANTEE delivery regardless of US legality or taxes.

Got two cartons of Marlboro Lights for $63, that is a savings of $57 dollars a carton based on what I pay in CT - they are more in NY or NJ. Fuc the US taxes, cigarettes are taxed at &00$% of the product cost, that is absurd to me - TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! I seem to recall that slogan from a key event in US history.

Got a bottle of Jack Daniels Silver Select - their export only (cannot sell in US due to alcohol content) pre-prohibition blend bourbon. It is killed, I snagged a bottle in Honduras a few months back. This is it if anyone is interested in a killer small batch bourbon: http://cgi.ebay.com/Jack-Daniels-Sil...a#ht_778wt_984

Also got 5 boxes or 25 (125 total) Romeo y Julietta Churchills (Cuban cigars) which I ended up acquiring a taste for in my travels outside the United States: http://www.cigars-review.org/Romeo-y...-Churchill.htm

By my math this order would have cost me approximately $351 for just the cigarettes and Jack if I got them online in the states. I could never have gotten those Cubans but they too were much cheaper than I have paid in the islands and Latin/South America. So using this site saved me at the very least $167, probably slightly above $300 if I got the cigars on my next trip.

I highly recommend this site to anyone interested in cheaper goods without tax or in thing that are extremely tough to get in the US. Just a heads up: dutyfreedepot.com

Soo how long is your sentence?
