You know what I love?

Well, beer, obviously.

When my kids get the giggles.

Sun shining off newly fallen snow.

And Skittles. God, I love Skittles.

Skittles fuuking rule

Skittles are delicious. Also gobstoppers.

When I wake up on a Saturday (or a day off), realize it's cold and raining outside, and roll over and go back to sleep.

i hate you guys. oh wait, wrong thread...

I love watching my cat bathe himself 3x a day.

I love it when HWMBO runs his fingernails up my back.

I love playing with other people's puppies

I love pulling the first pint (other than the yeast) from a keg and sampling it.

Beer
Palm trees
the smell, sound and sight of the ocean.
and cashews!
Eating cashews on the beach while drinking a beer is true paradise!

With the quick response from this thread's counterpart I'm surprised nobody has said, "threads named 'You know what I hate?'"

Folks...He aint li'en!

The smell of the first woodsmoke of the season when it starts getting cold.
Snuggling (much better than cuddling)
Dill pickles
Hershey's chocolate
Big dogs
Happy babies
Finding a really awesome gift and being just as excited to give it to the person as they are to receive it

...A twisty road on a cool autumn morning, the Ducati is running nicely and warmed up, and the there's not an RV, or bassboat haulin' beater pickup, holding up traffic the whole way.

...A hot summer evening, sitting out on the back patio with a cool drink and nice pipe.

...Being able to understand the person at the drive-thru, and then actually getting my order correct the first time, and the food's still hot!

Oh yeah, and Skittles. Those things are tasty!

yeah, dill pickles rock.

I love DB because he hates blondes AND loves pickles.

Not the right season for it, but I have had a dill pickle snow cone! Dill pickle in the middle of the ice mass with pickle juice drizzled over the top.

Very tasty!!!

Sleeping to the rain outside is awesome!

I was out of town Monday and Tuesday for business.
This morning, I went upstairs to wake my daughter for school. Once her eyes opened enough to see me there, she squealed, giggled,. shouted 'Daddy, you're home!', and dove on me for a big hug and kiss because she'd missed me while I was gone.

I love that.

and skittles. And finding money on the sidewalk.

Paddling my kayak in a deserted lake or river
my dog's goofy expressions
my kids
music, especially when an old favorite comes on the radio
the beach
meeting new people
traveling
my cottage
campfires

+1 on that wood fire smoke at the first cold snap.

Also:

Egg nog.
A nice highball of single barrel whiskey.
The smell of pipe tobacco (not burning, just the tobacco).

Oddly enough, each of these things are related to memories of my Dad. Funny that.

Outside of family:
A baby laughing.
Puppy breath.

I LOVE the smell of an unlit cigarette. My brother smokes, and whenever he's about to light up, I snag the cigarette and sniff the end. It smells so good, kind of like raisins.

Double that, when it's a Thursday evening (beginning of the weekend).

mmmmm... Skittlebrau...

Date night with my wife even though its mostly carryout chineese on the couch at home these days (2 kids, not a lot of babysitters).

When my boys shout "daddy's home!" when I walk in from work, well the 3yr old shouts it and the 10mo old just smiles and makes noises.

Homemade Bacon, over easy egg, and cheese, english muffin sandwhiches, where you use the muffins from the refirgerated case (Bays), and cook the eggs in the bacon grease.

- The moment right when the plane leaves the ground and the plane dips for a second.
- Driving a little too fast when you crest a hill and your stomach does that dropping thing.
- A cup of tea with my mom.

I love you, man.

Is that a collective you, or is there something we should know?

lol, that's awesome.

Beer

Some of those other things like campfires and relaxing, which unfortunately I don't do enough. It's so nice to get away and not stress about the real world for a couple of days.
