1. Banana bread (like the batch I made and nearly completely consumed yesterday.)
2. Skipping the commercials (the TIVO like device has changed my life.)
3. Catching the market when the price rings up wrong (they have to give you the item free by law, last week I scored a big ol bottle of Cheez Whiz which scanned at $8.19 but was marked $7.99 on the shelf)
4. Guacamole (avocado, onion, lemon juice, cilantro and salt)
5.
6. Sudoku (once a day at least)
7. Seeing the nico-slaves outside smoking in the rain (silent gloating = happiness)
8. Bombay Sapphire (to quote myself, "what you need for the happiness mood.")
9. Catching a grammar/spelling stickler with an error and not mentioning it. (I like being reminded that everyone is human.)
10. Arriving at the platform right when the subway arrives (a little win in the casino of life)
11. My Ipod touch (I think I would suffer extreme withdrawal were I to lose it)
12. Music, Youtube, Computers and Blogging. (Maybe I should just call this "multimedia")
13. Survivor (I don't want to ever go on that show, but I'll watch every one they make)
14. Skype (it's got to have saved me thousands by now)
15. Impending thunderstorms (I'm jonesing, we haven't had any yet this year.)
16. Smiles from strangers (giving and getting)
17. All things Reese (please bring back the bar)
18. Dogs (7 months down, 5 to go until I'm allowed to have another)
19. Laughing at farts and poop (the vestiges of a teenage mind)
20. Traveling (doesn't matter where, it just has to be away from home)
Kay, now it's your turn.
I don't make banana bread nearly often enough, since David won't eat it.
ReplyDeleteI like to laugh at farts too!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom got a Chorgi from the shelter. He is half Chihuahua and half Welsh Corgi. He mkes me laugh when I take him for a walk and he tries to catch Robins. Will he ever learn it ain't gonna happen? ed

ReplyDeleteWe're in full concurrence on items 2 and 11.
ReplyDeleteAs to ad-free viewing on say, hulu.com here's how you block them on Windows XP:
Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and edit the hosts file.
Put a new line at the end that says this:
127.0.0.1 ads.hulu.com
It causes any application doing a DNS search for an address to default back to your local machine.
Hulu will make you wait 30 seconds but no ads.

I'm surprised laughing at farts and poop didn't make it higher on your list. : )
ReplyDeleteHave you shared your banana bread recipe with your loyal readers before?
ReplyDeletePlease share it again! Banana Bread is one of my favorite things to eat and the only recipe I have for it is off of a can of evaporated milk.
