simple pleasures

[Booger]

ok everyone has simple pleasures little things that just make you feel good.

One of mine is crawling into bed with freshly washed sheets after taking a show

just wondering what simple pleasure some of the other great people at pixies have

[dannyk]

simple pleasures? does pixies count? :D

[BlondeCurlGirl]

Taking a warm bubble bath illuminated by candles, and sipping wine as I soak. Aahh :) That's my big stress buster when I go home for the weekends...no tubs in icky student housing!

Also, seeing someone you love smile can be a very simple pleasure. :)

[Lilith]

swinging on the back porch or beating someone to a pulp:p

[Uncle Silky]

swingin on the backporch while beatin somebody to a pulp.

[legend]

a nice cold beer

[Booger]

BlondeCurlGirl if you let me slide in the tibe with you it would be more then just a simple pleasure

[Nikki]

Sleeping in......!!!!!......long hot baths..........and an unlimited supply of chocolate......

[dicksbro]

Laying back and being orally ministered too ... er ... I think that's a different thread. Okay, long hot showers and laying out on a chaise lounge in the spring watching the clouds float by.

[Lorelei]

Hanging out with friends...Going shopping.

[skipthisone]

After taking a shower, grabbing a beer and sitting on my back deck when it is dark and thinking about....nothing.

[Scarlett]

I have to agree with Booger on this one. I love crawling into a warm bed with fresh clean sheets.

[jennaflower]

mine....

a monthly massage... well worth the money.. and it refreshens my soul.

[Lovediva]

Starring up at the moon and the stars while sipping on a nice glass of wine.....

[Uncle Silky]

rain.

[MilkToast]

listening to Beethoven's 5th symphony whilst enjoying a nice well aged single malt.

[LixyChick]

ON a cold, crisp evening........sitting outside and looking up at a sky full of stars.......the constellations so vivid and vast....being able to pick out the North Star the Big Dipper and Orions belt and the Seven Sisters, etc...........Mmmmmmmmm! I love the December sky at night around here!

Coming in from that cold night of stargazing and lighting the fireplace and making a hot toddy and taking a fuzzy warm sweater from the dryer and donning it as I sip my toddy and watch a romantic or scary movie or listening to some favorite tunage with close friends!

Or laying on the deck of a boat in the Florida Keys with the hot sun sinking into my skin and hearing that familiar snort of water from a manatee as she/he peeks above the water line to say hello and then slipping off the stern of the boat and playing in the water with my new friend.

Oh......and making Snow Angels while naked.....woohoo! That's very invorgorating.......but you gotta do the front....then flip over and do the back! LOL!

Oh the simple pleasures of life!

[dicksbro]

Hadn't included it before, but I think I'll add reading Lixy's response. Naked snow angels. Now there would be a pleasure :D

YOHOO ... I went ahead and jumped in the water ... just in case :D

[Steph]

Walking in the rain with the dog . . . it's usually so peaceful because everyone else is inside.

[Booger]

lixy I might have to try the naked snow angel thing soon sounds like fun
if I do should I post pic but than again there might be a problem with shrinkage

[Wombat]

sitting outside on a warm night listening to some mellow tunes and watching the stars go by while lighting up the bong:D

[xanne]

Sleeping in on a lazy Sunday morning then having brunch

Mellow jazz on the stereo, sipping chardonnay, chilling out and looking at the stars

[LixyChick]

TeeHee Booger! I say YES! The first snow storm....I will post one for you as well! Oh geezzzzzzz.....*remembering how very, very cold that was!*

[axe31]

Sitting on the front porch rocking chair watching the birds. There are 2 owls that live on our property and at dusk it is nice to watch and listen to them.

Snuggling my children.

[Pussy Willow]

Having some time alone.

Which in my crazy life isn't easy.

[dm383]

Just me with my girl...... wherever, whenever, whatever......bliss! :)

[scotzoidman]

Watching the sun set...

[krzykrn]

Making a wonderful meal for my friends, I love making something special so they can all enjoy it. Food to me is not only for sustenance, but it can also be a sensual and soulful experience. Tasting something that is tantalizing and fills your stomach, gives a feeling of such contentment at times it is almost...well orgasmic, no? Anyway I like seeing the people I care about happy, and to do such a simple thing like to cook them food...sometimes it is the small things in life that matter the most.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

*bump*

feeling his fingers running through my hair

[jseal]

Walking in the woods while the snow falls.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

an unspoken electronic Yahtzee competition

[cowgirltease]

Sittin on the porch in the evening. Hearing no cars hauling ass down the road, no people or loud music. Just hear the birds, the crickets or the cows bawling. a horse whinny for it's mate, maybe an occaisional dog bark, and the leaves on the trees rustling in the wind. ahhhhhhhh........ the good life!;) :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Please try and describe the smell of a gum tree for me Grumble. Would the dried leaves have the same scent if you brought some with you? Or....do they flower...and that is the scent you are speaking of? I spose I could look it up...but they have yet to invent smellavision.

I love this thread! It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling....lol!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

falling asleep in the arms of the one you love

[Cobalt]

One of mine and the most important is just having sex of all types with my wife.

Anouther is just sitting outside or walking in the woods on a nice warm summer day and soaking in the beauty of nature, the sounds, smells, ect.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

curling up on the couch under a blanket

[Grumble]

Lixy

I would think that the leaves would have to be green, the heat evaporates the eucalytus oil in certain gum trees and creates a lovely eucalpyt scent in the air.

In very hot places with a high population of gums, the air turns a bluish colour which means extreme fire danger as a fire and a flammable atmosphere (full of eucalypt oil) can cause explosive fires of the worst kind. Naturally for this type of atmosphere to accumulate, it needs to be a still day. Wind disperses the evaporated oils

[osuche]

SImple pleasures?

* Cooking a really good meal for people you love
* Curling up with a good book under the warm covers near a fire
* Giving someone a compliment and making them smile
* Dancing to some really good music -- the kinda dance you do when no one else is around
* Making love mid-day

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Doing a little girl's hair (I did three today...none of which were my own.) :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Knowing friends are sending you hugs, even when you're not nearby.

[denny]

Eating a meal your partner has just prepared for you.
Distracting someone in bed who is trying to read whilst the fire burns.
Receiving a compliment and having the grace to smile.
Watching your lover dance the way she does when only you are around.

[sodaklostsoul]

Being able to sit here with Pixie's and dream of the next meeting with the Lama!!

My five-year old daughter, who has finally realized she *is* a girl, letting me play with her hair every morning now.

[sodaklostsoul]

My 7 almost 8 year old daughter, telling me I'm Santa Clause, but still beleiving enough to put out reindeer food.

A phone call from the Lama, since he could'nt make it online.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

A man who, when he knows I'm having trouble sleeping, holds and caresses me until I go back to sleep.

[jseal]

A fresh cup of just-ground coffee.

[Pita]

Getting up before anyone and just listening to the news and browsing my haunts online.
Chatting with someone special
Lazy weekends

[Mark Vieth]

No comment. ^^

Well I like to fall asleep while listening to rain

[osuche]

Buying an electric blanket-like mattress pad, some new flannel sheets, and a new blanket for Mr. Osuche to keep him warm when I am gone (it's damn cold in his room -- the house has NO HEAT).....

Then ....putting all the new purchases on the bed, and covering them *all* up with his old comforter....so he will get a surprise tonight. :)

[Cassiopeia]

listening to a new cd for the first time
listening to an old cd you haven't heard in a while and realizing just how awesome it is again.

[Mae]

No noise in the house. A gentle touch. Rain on the roof. Falling asleep peaceful and satisfied.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

His smile.

[Lilith]

the feeling of life squirming around inside of your body

[IAKaraokeGirl]

A cool breeze blowing through the window as you sleep.

[dicksbro]

Walking in the park on a cool, foggy morning. MMMMMM. :)

[boilergirl1]

waking him up in the morning with a slow pleasant bj. mmmmmm yummy

[IAKaraokeGirl]

giggling with my sister

[cherrypie7788]

Catching a stranger's eye when you least expect it

[IAKaraokeGirl]

seeing that I have email from someone special

[Callie691]

i havent gotten to do this in yearsbut it is one of my favorite 'simple pleasures'
sit on a large front or back porch and watch a big thunderstorm roll in across the sky for miles and go stand in it when it gets to me and just stare at the sky til it is gone.

then go in get dried off and into warm clothes fresh out of the dryer and snuggling wiht my sweetie. :x: just imagine! :x:

:jump:

[Lilith]

getting a chance to catch up with old friends

[IAKaraokeGirl]

The way my daughter puts her arms around my neck in the morning, half-asleep, and wants to be carried.

[cowgirltease]

Sittin on the back porch watchiing the horses graze, hearing the birds sing and NO cars driving by. :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Having someone in your life with a similar background, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

[Lilith]

when someone is a dumbass and it works in your favor and gives you the giggles :p

[cowgirltease]

Watching my daughter sleep so peacefully.
Man they grow up too fast.

[flutelady]

CGT, you're so right... the years pass by far too quickly and then our babies have moved on. Watching a child sleep is one of God's gifts to us, I think. At the very least, it helps us to not clobber them while they're awake and being brats, haha.


Some simple pleasures...

The smell of a newly mowed lawn, mmmm

The sound of birds singing (but NOT mockingbirds in the middle of the night :bang: )

The laughter of a baby

Holding his hand

Climbing into bed at the end of the day, when the house is quiet and everyone else is safely in their beds.

[WildIrish]

Taking a walk on a sunny day, with someone you love. :lurv:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My daughter, crawling into my lap to be my "snugglebunny."

[mayhem1978]

hearing my lovers voice

[IAKaraokeGirl]

being yourself...and knowing that you *can* be

[lizzardbits]

[sodaklostsoul]

"Get off me!" ??????????? oh not those 3 :p :D I've been married too long.......sorry :D

[BIBI]

laying on my hammock without a care in the world...

[osuche]

Feeling someone trail their fingers over the back of your neck....or feeling the soft whoosh of his breath on your neck, as he holds you close in the middle of the night.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

the anticipation of the first kiss...or the first kiss after a *very* long separation

[sodaklostsoul]

Him rolling over and then pulling me back up against him.

[flutelady]

Living in "hayfeverville" and not having a stuffy nose.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Putting aside differences with my ex-husband to enjoy a special moment with our daughter.
