Life's 10 Simple Pleasures

I didn't have to rack my brains to come up with simple pleasures I indulge in. They are mostly things or experiences that easily seem to make me smile and purr with gratification. Obviously, being in good terms with my husband and having fun times together bring me the most pleasure but since I'm being challenged to be creative and original, here's my list. In no particular order:
1. Getting in bed with freshly laundered and still-warm-from-the-dryer sheets (preferably with higher than 450 thread count sateen sheets). It just makes me look forward to snuggling even more.
2. Breaking a sweat after a good workout or yoga session. Same result from a power walk down a trail at some forest preserve. Even better if Kenny joins me.
3. Bustin' some moves at my favorite dance club, Neo. It gives me such an endorphin rush once the beat gets to me. It don't matter whether I'm a good dancer or not. Wish I can go clubbing soon.
4. Discovering some really great tunes or coming across some obscure and interesting songs on the net. I am such a download fiend when inspired by music.
5. Reading juicy Hollywood gossips from tabloids or watching celebrity gossip shows on TV. Forget CNN or whatever, I gotta have my fix about Angelina Jolie's life or I'd feel left out.
6. Nothing original with this but I have to include partying with or hanging out with my friends. We seldom see each other nowadays that it's always a treat to get together with them whether there's a special occasion or not.
7. Finding clothes that fit me well and hide the figure flaws. Most specially, finding pants that don't need to get hemmed (can cost a fortune!).
8. Getting to work and home without being caught in the traffic or rush hour. Enough said.
9. Catching up on my favorite shows on DVR on my nights off, sipping green tea or chai tea.
10. Cuddling with Sidney and Lara when they are at their best behavior. They truly made a pet or dog owner out of me with those adoring puppy eyes of theirs. I still can't take the licking though.

I guess that's it. Your turn ;-)
