1) The sound my dog makes when she eats cereal I've dropped on the floor
2) My first sip of green tea when it's a little too hot, but not too hot to drink.

6) Being thirsty and remembering that I carry my Nalgene everywhere with me.

22) Getting at least 8 hours of sleep
23) Running a good 3 miles and having the energy to run more
24) Christmas lights (especially those on the Ronald McDonald houses).

28) Salad with Greek dressing (especially from Ali Baba and Aladdin's)
