Cheap pleasures


Recommended Posts

A stack of engaging library books on a rainy day.

A nap.

Strawberries and real whipped cream--especially when I don't cut up the strawberries or whip the cream myself.

Gazing at the lit Christmas tree at night.

Relaxing with my laptop and wireless internet on the couch by the gas fireplace (cheap if you already own those things).

Bread still hot from the oven (especially if I didn't have to make it)

1. When my husband does the dishes.

2. When my husband and I spend our "date night" looking at books and magazines in a book store (we don't usually buy, we just look :D)

3. A fire in the fireplace.

4. When my children make my bed, just because.

5. Taking a shower in a clean shower, that I didn't scrub. (Same for sitting on a clean toilet).

6. Quiet time I can scrapbook (which I haven't had since 1/1/08).

 

That's just a few things, not necessarilly in any particular order :D

... a cup of coffee with cream and sugar and a breakfast burrito with red chili. YUM-OH!

 

...watching black-and-white movies like Mr. Smith goes to Washington, The Philadelphia Story, The Bishop's Wife, Harvey, etc.

 

...at bedtime, getting into and falling asleep in my luxuriously, soft bed.

I thought we were only listing purchased pleasures. If we're also doing pleasures that come free, I have lots~!

Fresh clean sheets

The smell of chocolate chip cookies baking

A clean house...especially nice if I wasn't the one to do it.

A cup of hot chocolate with whip cream sitting in front of a fire on a snowy day.

Listening to kids cooperate and practice/play music together
