Friday Soapbox

It comes very naturally for me to be ragey and cynical. But I saw on several other blogs where they were listing their simple pleasures, and thought that in light of how ragey and cynical I've been lately/always, I'd make that today's soapbox. A few of my simple pleasures are:

• When a metro train pulls up right as I get off the escalator.
• Anything argyle
• Huggy sweaters (Sweaters that make you want to hug someone/be hugged.)
• Fountains, chandeliers, tiaras, and pearls
• Scalding hot showers
• When my bank account has more money than I thought it did.
• Finishing a book in a day because I had the time and it was just that good.
• Lounging around in a pair of jeans and a Carolina hoodie.
• Bebe chapstick from Germany
• When things match
• "I look at you, and I'm home." (Finding Nemo)
  
• Exclamation points
• Anything Carolina blue
• Being warm.
• When my friends just "get it."
• Reading a book or article and thinking, "I could do better."
• Anytime there's a new episode of a favorite TV show, especially when I thought it was going to be a repeat.
• Obama
• Every time the space shuttle lifts off.
• Center Street at Christmas, The Old Well, Big Ben, and The White House
• "If I could just find a place that made me feel like Tiffany's, I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name." (Breakfast at Tiffany's)
• To be continued...
