It has taken me a while to think of my five simple pleasures but here they are in no particular order:
1:Paper-let me explain. I love to scrapbook. I think that I probably have oh maybe somewhere in the thousands. I love to go to the scrapbook stores, craft stores and expos. I always tell myself and my friends not to let me buy anymore paper because there is no way in this lifetime that I will ever be able to use every piece of paper that I have. Even still, what do you think I gravitate to more. Every time!
2:Girls Night Out- I try to take at least one weekend night a month (sometimes it doesn't happen that regularly) I go down to my sister Kristi's, who incidently is one of by best friends, Alicia and a few of our other friends go. We usually have at least five of us. We either go and get pedicures or when money is tight we do our own. Then we do dinner at Johnny Carinos and then a movie or bowling. We also play cards. It is the one night that I know I can let my hair down and not worry who is being mean to who and who won't let me play with that toy. It is very important as a mom of three to have MOM time. I usually spend the night and go home refreshed the next morning, ready to be showered with love from my kids who missed me so much. It is good for them too!
3:Golf-No i do not golf, however I do on occassion like to find a babysitter and ride the golf cart and watch Leeferd golf. It is fantastically peaceful and wonderful to spend time just the two of us.
4:Fingernail Polish-I love the smell and look of a fresh manicure. The Acetone and the polish its self. Silly huh?
5:Family Dinner Time-I make my family sit together three nights a week and every other Sunday. What you say? Even though my family is still quite young, there is still the hectic running around, soccer practices and waiting for dad to get home from work or golf. It is the perfect time to catch up on what everyone has done that day and what is to come for the week. It also makes my kids eat food that they would normally just leave sitting on the table because it is gross or wierd.
Well that's it. They seem silly. Oh well. Thanks for the tag Bubba!!

Great Great!!!
I love hearing what makes people happy. And I love it that you sit down to eat together. Even though I only have one daughter left at home, we nearly always eat together and I love it. Shannon's boyfriend, Ryan was totally blown away by the fact that I still cook 'most every night, cause so many moms work away from home and they are so exhausted when they get home they have fast food or mac n cheese. It's a good simple pleasure to have, Min!
Min! Love keeping tracka you guys this way. I've got my 5 Simple Pleasures whittled down to 53, still having the playoffs, doan cha know, so the semi-finals're nowhere in sight.
Paper is wunnuvvem--nuthin like sitting before a blank sheet of paper - the possibilities are endless.
