Catching Up!

Another post of awesomeness....

• The moment at a restaurant after you see your food coming from the kitchen but before it lands on your table - Yes, that's fantastic but my negative side is creeping up by knowing what it feels like when you've been waiting forever, you see food coming your way, and the waiter keeps on walking to take the food to another table.  Sad.
• Scraping all the lint off an overflowing lint trap - I get this treat EVERY week when I do laundry....and after every load.  I don't know why people don't know that it's important to clean out their lint traps....do they want a fire or something??
• Cooking a giant meal with your husband and making a huge mess in the kitchen - This is the sort of thing that sounds fun when you're single but in actuality, making a mess in the kitchen is not fun.  Who's cleaning that shit up?  Also, I like cooking by myself.  I don't bump into anyone in the kitchen plus I can concentrate.
• Bedhead all day long - My hair actually looks pretty decent when I get out of bed. :)
• Finding the last item in your size - At this point, finding ANYTHING in my size that's cute makes me happy.
• Sneaking under someone else's umbrella in the rain - Does anyone you know even have an umbrella big enough for two people?!  Because that would be awesome.....IF it existed.
• Grabbing the cereal bowl with both hands and slurping up all the sugary milk - This is pretty awesome.  I did it so often growing up that I'm pretty sure that's how I ended up with diabetes. 
• Thinking it's Thursday when it's Friday - Or anything like this.  For instance, we normally go out to breakfast on Sundays.  But we went today instead which was Saturday.  So all day, I've felt like it's Sunday.  Yay....I still have weekend left.  
• Staying up late to read a few more pages - Or watch the rest of the movie.  Or play some games of Solitaire or Candy Crush.  I actually do this almost every night.  That's why I'm so tired all the time.
• Waking up before your alarm clock goes off and realizing you've got lots of sleep time left - I usually wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.  I admit that it's pretty nice knowing I still have 3 or 4 hours to go before I have to get up.
• When you spill something on your shirt and it doesn't leave a stain - Or better yet, thinking that whatever you spilled landed on your shirt but it didn't....it landed on the floor.  
• Watching the odometer click over a major milestone - I don't pay any attention to this at all.  I barely even notice if I need gas.  I'm not super observant.
• Seeing baby photos of your husband for the first time - I wish, wish, wish Ruth had thought to take separate pictures of the twins and had labeled the backs of them.  I only have seen pictures of Rich and Ted together and you can't tell which is which.
• Reading the nutritional label and eating it anyway - I actually think it's more awesome to see something that looks delicious and finding out, after reading the nutritional label, that it's not so bad for you after all.
• When the subway door stops right in front of you - OR when you're taking the train at the airport and you stand directly in front of the perfect door that allows you to get off before everyone else does.
• When someone unjams the photocopier for you - Or better yet, when you unjam it yourself.  Why rely on other people?
• Getting into a bed with clean sheets after shaving your legs - And also you're clean, too, because you've just showered.
• Squeezing through a door as it's shutting without touching it - This is especially true if you make it through a revolving door without touching any part of it
• Mixing cookie batter with your bare hands - I've never done this, I don't think.  I do mix up meatloaf with my bare hands so I get the allure of having egg squish through your fingers. 
• When you know all the buttons to speed through the automated telephone system - I learned a trick to this.  When the automated voice is droning on and on with all the choices, just hit 0 and you can bypass the entire thing and go directly to a human.  
• The perfect long-distance shopping cart return in the grocery store parking lot - I absolutely love stores that have perfectly placed cart returns in the parking lot
• Falling asleep in the backseat of a car late at night on the drive home - This reminds me of coming home from my grandma's house.  I would fall asleep and my dad would carry me in the house and put me to bed.  
• The first squeeze from a new tube of toothpaste - It's also awesome to think you have no more toothpaste left but surprise!  You get one last squeeze before you have to throw it away.
• Putting potato chips in a sandwich - I also like putting them on a burger, which I guess is the same concept.
• Seeing someone laugh in their sleep - Especially if it's your children
• Getting the armrest at the movie theater - This is a given for me now because I'm so picky about theaters.  I will only go to the theaters that have the big reclining seats.  But getting the armrest on the airplane....I will fight to the death for that.
• When someone brings you coffee in bed just the way you like it - Rich used to always do this for me in Kansas City.  But now, in Denver, he goes to bed by 8 and is up by like 4.  So now I never get coffee.
