The BEST things

harper0813 · July 2013

What's the best? Let's list the best things in life. Big or small.

- Nutella
- The day after your period ends, when you know you're for sure in the clear
- Deciding to switch purses and finding goodies inside like dolla bills, that lipstick you forgot you were missing, a hundred bobby pins, etc.
- Home videos from your childhood
- For girls with regretfully large bosoms: magical boob-reducing bras (does not apply to girls who enjoy their large bosoms)

I have a million. To name a few:

The moments between my FI & I when we cannot stop laughing
Being in the sun
Freshly baked bread
Phone calls & Facetime with my nieces
Living by the lake
That feeling when my workout ends and I'm all sweaty & exhausted, but happy
Diet Coke (cans, not bottles or from the fountain)

harper0813 · July 2013

I LOVE SONIC DRINKS. Especially the diet sprite + lime. @TarraHello is to blame. So good.

- Realizing that the chores are all done and you actually sit down as you watch Friends reruns.
- Good chocolate frosting
- The way your bum feels when you wear a brand new pair of sweatpants (my ass is in a cloud!)
- The energy I get after a morning workout
- poo-phoria

AddieCake · July 2013

Hahahaha!

I'm going to take it as a compliment that you remember I have never seen those and don't care.

wittykitty14 · July 2013

Zobird, I love you for starting this. It's making me very happy to think about things that make me very happy.

Ditto a lot of these. Right now the only I can think of that hasn't been said is.....when the waiter comes out with food, and you know it's yours

Oh that's a good one! How about when you go to the bathroom while waiting for dinner at a restaurant and you come back and your food's waiting there for you?

manateehugger · July 2013

Haha Zobird, I'm currently in the week after my period. Favorite time of the month - I feel all skinny and stuff.

I know! I'm pretty excited this time around, because my period is wrapping itself up today, and I'm getting married in a week, so I'll still be in "I feel so pretty!" mode!

@sydaries - try the frosting in this link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/beattys-chocolate-cake-recipe/index.html

Cut the coffee down to 1tsp. You won't need cake, just a spoon.

kmmssg · July 2013

Goooood Cake and lots of it

When my coffee has just the right amount of cream in it and it is really hot

My awesome kitty, Nermal, snuggled on my lap like he is right now

The beach

A clean house

Cooking for a big party and getting it "just right" where everyone truly loved the food and had a great time and felt very welcome

Margaritas with NO salt

Lunch with my girls and no grandkids

My grandkids

Cake, lots of really good cake

Anticipating DD #4's engagement and wishing her uber fabulous BF would get on the stick and propose! I adore him.

[Deleted User] · July 2013

Best things: Today edition. There's a very graphic abortion protest going on in the Square next to my office. As I am walking back, some guy is hounding me. "Look at the pictures. Oh, you're not going to do anything about this?" At which point I spin my head almost the whole way around and snap "When you get a uterus, give me a call." I then wince, as I realize I was walking and having a conversation with a senior attorney at my office. The best? He looks at me with a huge smile on his face and says "Hey! That's a good one!"

Other best things:

Walking home in a light sprinkle on a warm day.

The first stab into peanut butter.

Waking up snuggling.

This sandwich.

Yay! The bolded is so exciting! You hear all these angry in-laws stories on here, so it's awesome to hear about a happy engagement!

I sometimes think my mom likes FI more than me.

@pdhk As sappy as this will sound, it IS the best thing ever to watch your grown DD with a man who WANTS to make her happy. When you see him doing things because he knows it is important to her. He is amazing with her kids and he has none of his own. The fact that he, too, is military doesn't hurt the brownie points either. My girls get frustrated when he and I "talk shop" but I am so happy to have someone to "talk shop" with!!! He fits in so easily and well in our big family, I'm quite excited.

C'mon buddy.....ask her!

You sound like on heck of a good mom That does sound like one of the best things.

Darn those military guys - they'll get ya! Lol he's just got to work up the courage! FI and I had been together 4ish years, had talked about marriage like it was a given, and still said he was nervous to ask me.

@PDKH - aw, thanks. They went looking at houses last night because she will have to relocate 1 state over. Sooo anxious to plan her wedding with her! (and, yes, she WANTS me to help her plan it)

Lol I want my mom's help too. It's her third time around, so she's way better at this stuff than I am. Mom's are good at seeing reason through all the white fluffy wedding madness (or at least mine is).

House hunting is exciting! FI is due up for new orders in the next few months. I'm trying to be patient. In the meantime, I online dream househunt at various posts haha.

Do you know his proposal plan?

cmiles89 · July 2013

- My siberian husky puppy calming down enough to let me snuggle him for 1.2 seconds
- BF saying he WANTS us to spend more time together
- Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream, even the cheap kind
- Realizing I remembered to put the creamer back in the fridge, so I get to have coffee this morning without fear of self-poisoning
- Watching Chuck reruns all day
- It's been 80+ degrees in Seattle the last couple weeks, now it's down to 70 and I am pleased as punch ^^

JMalettas · July 2013

Yay! This is a fun idea!

Too many to choose from, but to name a few!....

*Early morning cuddles in bed with FI!

*Peanut butter!-truly my favourite food!

*Fresh ground coffee in the morning!

*Weekends!

*Travelling with friends & FI!

*Camping!

*Dinner parties!

*The smell of fresh baked *anything*!

Awesome idea!

Xo!
