The smell of newly mimeographed test papers; where writers and artists gather; falling asleep on the couch; being motioned to come and sit by someone; Nat King Cole; getting something fixed; seeing your breath exhaled as a frosty puff; Fridays; balance beams; sending someone an article from the paper, that you know will be of special interest; Ripley’s believe it or not; getting a free can of coke from a vending machine that still has someone else’s money in it; super morning showers; the part of the envelope that tells you where to put the stamp (as if you couldn’t figure it out); knife-sharpened pencils; biting into a croissant; air conditioning; organising your wardrobe; compulsive crossword puzzle doers; paint rollers.

Falling asleep on the sofa, and air conditioning...most definitely! :)
Sunshine, swimming, blue skies, waking up with the sun on my face and seeing the green leaves and blue skies outside, purring kittens, ocean breezes, margaritas, techno, disco, and classic rock! :)
Hmm, normally I nod along happily to your lists but falling asleep on the couch is not, to me, particularly pleasurable. Especially if it involves upending a bottle of beer over onself, as it did for me this weekend!
i'm definitely agreeing with this list.
I love this list! I'm about to make one of my own.. :)

Oh yes biting into a croissant. The airport in Geneva has the best ones ever. They put them out on the table so you can't resist!
i love your list :) i never get free cans of coke from the vending machine tho!
Love it, especially the free can of Coke!
xoxox,

happy, happy lists!
I love it.
yay for cheerfulness.
Emma, you have to imagine the kind of 'falling asleep on the sofa' where you're too lazy to get into bed for a nap, but it's okay because someone lovely pulls a blanket over you and strokes your hair (but not in a creepy way).
Krystal, it never really happens to me either... that's why it feels so good!
