10 Bitty Secret Pleasures.
Ten secret things that bring me joy.
That is our challenge this week for Monday’s Listicles suggested by Wendy at Stamping Rules.
10. Hand massages.
9. Foot massages. I’ll stop right there with the body part massages, but just saying I love to have my body kneaded.
8. Greeting cheek-to-cheek with a person — Especially, if their cheek is warm and I’ve just come in from a cold day.
7. Warm hands. Not sweaty. Just nice, dry, warm masculine hands that close around mine. Reminds me of my dad when I was a little girl. Used to call his grasp the toaster.
6. Bare feet in furry slippers. This is a sad subject for me for I misplaced ALL my slippers. Our recent nosedive in temperatures this weekend added to my misery.
5. Pretzels dipped in sour cream.
4. Being alone. I say this is a secret pleasure because who wants to admit they love being alone? Makes me sound like a hobbit. Or worse. A hermit.
3. Real Housewives of AnyCity. But I draw the line at Big Rich Texas or Atlanta. Those are so low that I need to take a shower after watching.
2. Listening to my daughter play a musical instrument. I haven’t any musical talent. I love to hear her practice while I ramble around the house. Especially those days when she isn’t grumbling about practicing under her breath.
1. Driving my children to school. On a good day. When we are not late and there has been no bloodshed while getting out the door on time. The day is just starting and holds such promise. A blank slate to get so much accomplished. Hmm. Then somehow I seem to lose focus.
What about you? Have a secret pleasure that you can share?
Pretzels in sour cream is a new one to me. I’m going to have to give that a try.
Visiting from Listicles. Pretzels and sour cream? Hmmmmm, adding to my shopping list now 🙂
Love #4 and there’s nothing wrong with that. My two went somewhere without me and I am all alone right now. The only thing I hear is the refrigerator running and my fingers clicking out this response 😉 As for foot massages it almost torture for me not to pull my foot back and start laughing.
OH I love massages also!! A warm cheek and being alone are nice too. I like the solitude esp if I can steal a minute and sit or walk on the beach alone.
Love the list!
What a cuddly list! Massages, cheek to cheek, warm hands, and fuzzy slippers!
What a great, feel good list! I really love being alone as well, I think when you’re a busy parent you don’t have to feel bad about that one. 🙂 I miss the Real Housewives, no cable anymore here. They were my t.v. junkfood!
I’m a hobbit hermit too. I enjoy being alone even more now that it happens so rarely. Losing your foot warmers sucks! I’ve misplaced my fuzzy slipper socks and have been complaining about it for days. I went to the store to replace them, but of course there was nothing there but bathing suits and flip-flops. You know, with it being February and all.
Shhh. Don’t tell. I like to be alone too. And Oh My Goodness I want some pretzels and sour cream. Ellen
Ah hobbit days are the best, sometimes there is nothing better than curling up with a book for a whole afternoon, especially if it is raining. I love a rainy day sometimes! Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday and commenting, I look forward to hearing more from you!
Haha…I’m a “hobbit” too. That cracked me up. I love to be alone sometimes with just the quiet and yes to fuzzy slippers too.
I love being alone listening to my daughter practicing her clarinet in the other room while I am watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Don’t know why, but I can’t watch the others, although I do enjoy the drama of Vanderpump Rules.
I am absolutely trying the pretzel in sour cream. That sounds awesome. And hand massages…oh man. That’s my FAVORITE part of a massage.
#4. Absolutely. But then again, fuzzy slippers and good massages are wonderful things aren’t they?!
I’ve never tried pretzels in sour cream. Someday if I feel adventurous enough, I might try it. As for the driving the kids to school part…that’s pretty funny about the bloodshed before going out the door. That happens to me all the time – wherever we’re going, actually. LOL
