Since I've got 'nuttin today, seems like the perfect time to pick up on Nicole's meme listing ten simple pleasures:

1) Music; one good song has the ability to change a mood or to take you to some far off place. Doesn't get any better than that.
2) Doggie Welcoming Committee; doesn't matter if I've been gone two hours or two days...the unbridled enthusiastic greeting from the loyal canine companion washes away a world of woes.
3) New Car Smell; this probably worked into the top ten since I spent the weekend driving a rental that had that seductive smell. Go ahead, call me shallow.
4) Spring; the season of renewal. Watching the green emerge after the winter weather is behind us ranks as one of my favorites. I actually remember, in the pre-global warming days when we actually HAD spring-like weather and not these abrupt jumps into hot and humid summer weather.
5) Clean sheets; sorta like #3 & #4 combined.
6) Having a day off and "doing nothing" is an option.
7) Orange juice; sunshine in a bottle. There's one one other thing that I'd like better first thing in the morning, but we're not going to go there.
8) Laughter; there's no mood altering drug that's more powerful...not that I know anything about mood altering drugs, or anything.
9) Chocolate; OK I guess I do know something about THIS mood altering drug.
10) Sunsets; the kind where the sky is filled with a kaleidoscope of colors and textures. A nice way to end a day, and a nice way to end the list.
