-Your pet rat bruxing and/or dozing in your lap.

-Uploading a particularly stubborn page of code and finding it actually WORKS!

-Waking up early on a weekend and remembering you have no pressing engagements.

-A warm bed on a cold morning.

-Having family far enough away so they don't invite themselves over all the time, but close enough for a weekend visit.

Good things
  • blowjobs
  • cold Yeungling lager after sweaty yardwork on a hot day
  • blowjobs
  • the smell of a fresh bag of ....something....*cough*
  • watermelon juice running down your neck
  • finding a twenty in your laundry
  • sleep
  • boobs
  • sushi grade tuna for $10/lb.
  • My kids waving to me every morning from the window as I drive off....they get pissed if they sleep too late to do it.
  • spooning
in no particular order, of course.

Thought of another one. Waking up to the smell of bacon and coffee on a Saturday morning.

Edited for better phrasing.

on finding a $20 in the laundry:

I had a friend who used to, occasionally, mail himself a $20 bill. It only costs $.32, and it was kind of cool for him to randomly get a letter with $20 in it. Sure, it costs a little more than simply finding them in the laundry, but it's a lot more sure.

* the first warm day in spring when you can eat lunch at an outside table in a cafe.

* rolling in late (early) from a night of drinking/partying (or what have you) with friends and knowing you don't have to get up early.

* going in to the bar at the beginning of said evening and having the bartender smile and set up your drinks.

* having someone cook a meal for you.

* backrubs.

* watching the cartoons that you used to watch as a kid.

* random flirting.

* flirting with your significant other.

* i'll agree with the previous, making someone laugh so hard that they spew beer/soda/any liquid or can't breathe.

* laughing so hard that the above happens to you.

Standing on the great deck you just finished building on to your house while drinking beer with a couple of buddies.
