The Thread of Awesome (like the book, only in thread form...)

[AllisonElm]

You've probably heard of this book before:
http://www.amazon.com/Book-Awesome-Neil-Pasricha/dp/0425238903

Examples of awesome things from the book:
- when cashiers open up new check out lanes at the grocery store
- wearing under wear just out of the dryer
- when you get the milk-to-cereal ratio just right


I would like to add to this list.

- watching someone running for the street car or bus and seeing them make it
- Canadian Tire smell
- when a dog rests its head on your lap
- crossing the last thing off your to-do list. ahhhh yeahhh
- running into the subway train just before the doors closes
- getting off the subway train right at the escalators without planning it. ie: at a stop you don't normally frequent
- good water pressure

ADD SOMETHING PLEASE. Don't make my first thread a flop TERB!

-Getting the front parking spot. I love that one. Happens a lot to me too. I think it is a good karma thing.
-Brand new socks!!! Love that too. So much so, that I don't normally wear a pair more then a couple of times. I have stock piles of brand new white and black socks.
-Getting the perfect shot on the first try.
-hitting the final upload on a new website. IE, the launch

When occasionally with a new MPA she would walk in, say "wow your cute". Then proceed to prove it to me.........without request.

get off the plane after a 6 hour flight and lighting the first smoke when you get outside followed closely by the most epic fart you been holding in to be polite.

1) When a chick tell me on the phone she's pregnant, unbeknownst to her, i had a vasectomy late last year.
This just happened recently. In my mind i was like............"nice try bitch"


2) Telling her I'm fixed and best of luck finding the father and slamming phone.

most enjoyable smoke ever, after breathing in 250 peoples breaths for hours. I normally have 2smokes one after the other at this time.

Happened to me this winter.....

Going outside to start clearing the end of the driveway from when the snowplow came by. About to start when a random stranger in a truck with a plow in front stops, lowers it and in 3 swipes clears it. No words, just a wave and off they go.

Hearing your childs first fart.............I can still remember it. after adding baby powder, she made a POOF!

Every "first" for a child is just sheer awesome.
