These are a few of my favorite things... (Page 2)

I agree with all who said sex....

But most off all...I love coming home and all 4 of my little hoodlums running up and tackling me..giving me big hugs and saying "daddys home daddys home" No better feeling in the world!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, GREAT thread- I love reading your responses. Okay here are mine:

- the fact that I truly found my passion in life: triathlons!

-knowing that I'm going to change my career and become a physical therapist

-when my boyfriend cooks dinner for me

-PAYDAY!!

-when I find a perfect outfit that I can afford

-travelling to visit friends

-TiVo (even though I was against it at first, I'm glad my boyfriend made us get it)

-my NEW bike that got me an avg. of 19.6 on the bike @ my last tri

-looking @ my training log over the past 6 months and seeing how I've lost 20 lbs. Only 15 more to go.

Lisa,

I am with you with PAYDAY! and having dinner cooked for me.

OH WAIT!!!  YOU MEAN WITH ANOTHER PERONS DON'T YOU???

Humor.

Saying something and having people laugh (when you were TRYING to be funny, of course).

Having a husband who has rarely called me by my name in 12 years, and instead greets me by saying "Hey, good lookin". 

When my 20 year old son calls me up on a Sunday and asks me if I want to hang out, catch a movie, whatever.

Having my husband and my son go to my races and cheer for me, and my 6'3" son wearing a hand printed T-shirt that says "GO MOMMY" on the front and my race number on the back.

My yellow lab Gibby and my golden retreiver Gracie.

Crossing the finish line.

Personal bests.

Reading a good book.

Seeing something good that I envisioned come to pass.

The view from the top of "The Precipice" at Acadia Park, and how much fun it was to climb up it.

Cracking open the first Corona (with lime, of course) at the start of a 5 hour canoe trip down the river and just knowing it's going to be a day filled with sunshine, swimming, much laughter and great beer!

Sitting around my husbands world class campfire at the end of the above mentioned day.

When the weather cooperates on a day I have a nice long bike ride planned.

After one particularly awesome Saturday not too long ago, I told my husband "I think my favorite day has to be one that starts with a bike ride, has camping in the middle, and ends with an orgasm".  Doesn't really get much better than that!

He's good lookin' too, and funny!  But you'll have to move to Iowa, cause I like him too much to have him move to Vancouver. I'm afraid that may be too much to ask, my dear, but if not - COME ON DOWN!  I know I'll be a great Mother-in-law someday, that is surely worth some sacrifices.....

Snorkelling, diving on a perfect day.

Snuggling with my 2.5 yo daughter and getting her sweet kisses and when she says "Hi Mommy" even though we've been together for hours as a way to tell me she's thinking about me.

When the above is in bed for the night.

Enjoying quality family time.

New Hampshire and thinking about our plans to move there soon.

Having a strong marraige to my hubby who I've been married to 10.5 years when nobody said we'd last (we were 18 and got married cause we wanted to)
