Food shopping.

Eating something yummy.

Good sex.

Taking time to just sit and read.

Having a clean house.

Me, too, kitchen envy.

This picture is exactly the layout from sink to range that I am deciding on
counter-top - for. I see that it has some nice counter-tops. I have seen
this picture before when the tiles above it were discussed. Can you refresh
me as to the composition of the counter-top?
Thanks plenty,

For me it is shopping ! Especially shoes.

Sorry, but I don't get the shopping thing. When I need
something I go to a store where I expect to be able to find
it. If it's not there, I go to another store where I might
find it. My SiL, on OTOH, loves to shop. She has a friend
that she goes shopping with every Saturday. I was on
vacation in Europe with my brother and SiL. Walking down the
streets of Paris with her was like walking a dog male dog
through a forest.

My wife is not much of a shopper, but I suspect that she has
developed a show fetish. I had to clear out her shoe closet
a few months ago. She has close to 50 pairs of shoes. I
don't get it. I have a pair of good shoes, a pair of walking
shoes, a pair of casual shoes, a pair of runners for messing
around and a pair of runners for the gym. I have a pair of
work boots and a pair of paddock boots for riding. My own
collection seems excessive. Imagine how I think about her
extra 45 pairs.

Yeah, I have to agree with you Dave. I never did understand the
shopping thing either. I hate shopping! I don't see how they do it.
As for the shoe thing, that's just crazy! I don't even own tennis shoes
(because I won't go out and shop for them of course). No, I take that
back, I do have some, they are green (used to be white). I used them to
mow but now I don't have a lawn so needless to say I don't use them
anymore. I have a pair of dress boots for work, some regular jean
boots, a pair of sandles for dresses, and gotta have the flip-flops.
That's four! I have less than you! Ha! I have a very limited amount of
clothes in my closet also. I can hang everything and my man still takes
up more of the closet than I do. It just doesn't bother me. I guess I'm
just not very girly.
Anyway, to not saving money! Cheers!

Hmmm? I never could understand the shoe thing.
I hate wearing them and I hate shopping for them
even more.

Eating cheers me up. Unfortunately. ;-)

Same here! I only wear them when I must. I like being barefoot.

Three weeks in Italy. Unfortunately, you get pretty depressed coming
home.

Doing something productive. Clean out the fridge, sort papers, do your
taxes. Heck, you were in a lousy mood anyway.

A judicious sampling from my European Aspirin Collection.

A good book (though sadly neither David Rakoff's nor Joe Keenan's
qualifies).

Visiting friends. Getting a compliment. Getting a good price for the
crap I have on eBay.

If you saw what's on my feet, you may reconsider that statement. LOL!
I'm wearing black corduroy slippers with plastic bottoms. I wear them
everywhere. Indoor and out. The lining has been worn completely
away. I think I need a new pair. (feet are too wide to find
comfortable shoes) But thanks for the compliment!

I noticed that you spelled "compliment" correctly, too. Good on you!

What cheers me up is folding up paper plates and tossing them in the
trash bin.

I had a set of lead painted cheap-o china from ... and had a wonderful
time frisbee-ing them into the dumpster.

You want a fine time, we're talking limo, fine wine and dine
(Bookbinders?), song and dance on 2nd and Chestnut (in Philly) to Louis
Armstrong's sidewalk act and a pause somewhere with a bottle of champagne
and a toast with our heads out of the limo roof, lookng over a river city
view, a peck on the cheek and walk you safely to your door.

I buy cookbooks, and cooking equipment. Mostly cookbooks though.

I must be depressed...I have a list of about 10 cookbooks that I want
to buy now. Not to mention the new kitchen equipment.

A gorgeous day - blue sky, cool breeze, birds singing.

Laughing with friends.

Laughing and hugging DH.

Getting hugs from my grandkids!

Finding a favorite something that I had misplaced.

Hearing from someone who had moved away.

I had the opportunity to experience one of my favorites a few days
ago.

Though we have had a mild winter here, and my, daffs, crocuses, tulips
and trees are one to two weeks ahead of where they should be, I never
really consider it to be spring until I hear my spring peepers at the
stream nearby.

These little froggies started singing in very small number a few night
ago and each day since, the evenings have stayed warm (for around
here) and they have come out in greater numbers. They are so
delightful to me. It is as if I have been holding my breath all winter
long and just now go to let it out and take in a fresh one.

There is a sound file of their chirping on the site below.

http://www.naturesound.com/frogs/pages/peeper.html

The other harbinger of spring is the invasion of the black ants, and
by gum, they are all the hell over my kitchen.

Ah well, you win some, you lose some.

That pretty much sums up for me too. I remember the days when buying
new makeup, a new dress or a new pair of shoes (later, it was
housewares and cookbooks) really did make me feel better. I guess as
we get older, keeping the economy in motion isn't at the top of our
list anymore.... not that we've given up on it, by any means. It's
just that other things are more important to us these days.

Oh, yes...being with the kids (no grand kids, yet, but they are sort
of young to breed) can make me feel whole and quite content.

.....and my husband of course. I am delighted to say that even after 13
years, when I hear him coming up the front steps, I get a smile and my
heart beats just a tad faster with happiness.

Full house around here is becoming more rare, with one about to
graduate from college (Oh, yeah, she's moving back home) and two about
to start in the fall.

Depends on what's depressing me. ;-)
A hug from my daughter is pretty much a cure-all.
Snuggling with my husband (especially when I can get him to rub my neck/shoulders
and/or hair!)
my Mom
cooking something I love for someone I love
chocolate
my dog, Lucy
drawing and/or painting
stormy weather
finding really good produce (hey, I'm easy, what can I say?)

I'd say antidepressants...but they never really make you feel good, just less bad.
I never really got into shopping, I don't like crowds much

bit of advice...if you manage to get into Dame Judi's 3 pound underpants,
don't laugh. It's very upsetting to have someone laugh at your underpants and
kind of kills the mood.

If you must laugh, do something goofy to make her laugh as well, then you can
disguise your underpants laughter in something else and she'll be none the
wiser.
