Things I like

Wow.  I don't ever spellcheck, lol

[Overcomer]

I like receiving excellent customer service at restaurants and retail shops.  I like Sex and the City-I just watched the whole thing on DVD.  I like beautiful gardens!

[finding peace]

my husband and kids

spending a day on the beach building palaces out of sand with my kids

the sound of the ocean, the smell of the salty ocean breeze, and the caw of distant seagulls while sitting on an empty beach

warm, purring kittens curled in my lap

thunder storms

laughter

solitude

tromping though the creek, getting soaked with my kids while searching for minnows, crayfish, tadpoles, and salamanders

the sound of running water

watching my children live day-to-day life without fear

having my 4 year old teach me how to play electronic games

the peace on my babies faces as the sleep after a long fun day

curling up by the fire with a good book on a cold, wet, rainy day with the window open so I can smell the rain

this place

Peace
(Lupita that description was incredible - so peaceful and serene.)

Pretty much what Find Peace said, lol.

Sans the husband.

[Certain Hope]

Wow!  I want to go snorkeling!! 

  ((((((((Lupita))))))))
 (((((((Everyone))))))))

Love,
Hope

P.S.  Also everything Peace said, except the kittens... ahchoo!  But they can purr all cozy on my son's or daughter's lap, just keep their distance

Hi all.  Since I haven't really said 'hello' or introduced myself yet, kind of sneaking into the back of the room and all, perhaps it's okay if I make this an intro:

Things I like:

thrilling adventure stories

reading

comedy and farce and absurdity

Japanese visual arts, fabrics, pottery, woodwork

internet radio - especially ambient, international, electronica type

sticky wet baby fingers grabbing my nose and mouth,  baby saying 'oo oo oo oo'

Good, real bakeries/patisseries and all that comes from them (but food things could go on and on)

prosperous small businesses

yoga, yoga philosophy (see my 'ask me about yoga' button?)

the Sierra Nevada, with lots of snow - more specifically skiing there or anywhere

rainy days and rainy nights

that's what comes to mind

Oh Iphi, lol....

::uterus jumping::

I just adore babies!

[Iphi]

rofl!  Watch that thing!  You'll put an eye out.  We have a little guy 5 months old.  I call him my cookie because I wanted a cookie every day while pregnant.  And had one too, now needing to lose some weight.

[Lupita]

Iphi welcome to this board. It has been so helpful to me!!!!


Roller coasters. Up and down. Upside down. At least 60 miles per hour. Feel the G forces pushing your chicks up to connect with your ears.

::surprised deep rich laughter::

Lupita!  I had to go back and re read just make sure that was your post, lol!  hee

Iphi..... enjoy that little little cookie.  Months 6-9 are particularly wonderful, for some reason. 

[Lupita]

I love love love love the calming sensation of a nice response from  board members after a desperate post.

[debkor]

Ditto Lup!!

Napping in the shade, by the sea.

Eating home cooked food/mommy food..... it always has lots of love in it.  My father and mother's husband did all the cooking, btw.  Not my mother. 

Feeling fit and strong.

Accepting the moment as it is..... whatever the moment. 

Realizing that I don't have to love others the way they want me to.  I can love them the way I neeed to.... and it's still OK.

Add to the list:

A surprisingly icy cold A&W Root Beer from Walmarts front beverage case.

I don't normally drink carbonated beverages but.... OMG it's hot and sticky out and it jumped into my hand, lol!

Once in a great while I'll grab one of those, too   Better than a candy bar on a sultry day.

My drink of choice here is iced tea with lemon only, no sugar.

And I like my ferret, even tho he smells.

So there.
