The Best Moments in Life

1. Eating pickled okra- This, I tried for the first time, yesterday, and it was absolutely unbelievable! (Is it odd that food is at the top of this list?)

2. Drinking a cup of hot tea (or coffee) while reading a novel- Something that never gets old.

3. Lying down in bed after putting on fresh sheets- Don't judge me. You know you secretly agree.

4. Playing the violin outside, in 60 degree weather for as long as you want- Ok... it's probably just me on this one.

5. Using your credit card- I just got my card, a few months ago, so I can't get enough of it! I relish the sense of power as I strut up to the register and swipe my card (after about 4 other tries of swiping it upside down).

6. Faking a British accent and actually having people believe you- Once, I say at least one sentence out loud in that accent in public, I have practically everyone giddily gawking at me, like I'm some oddity that escaped from Ripley's Believe It or Not.

7. Getting something for free at the store, because the register was wrong- The best example, is when I got 3 packs of Dove dark chocolate, without having to pay for it. God bless faulty cash registers.

8. Yelling "Green!" at a red light and it instantly turns green- "How did you do that??!!" they ask me. "Magic." I whisper in reply.

9. Over-hearing your parents discussing in hushed tones the option of eating at Cracker Barrel on a Sunday afternoon- It give me something to look forward to! *drum roll* The Sunday special home-style fried chicken! Oh, wait... I'm gluten-free, now, and fried chicken has breadcrumbs and bread has... *sigh of hopelessness* gluten. I'm going to go cry in a corner, now.

10. Successfully completing an Algebra problem- "Ok... 3 down and... *scans page* uh.... 27 more to go." What a blessing.

11. Having someone ask to sit next to you (most likely a female, in my case)- "I want to sit next to Savannah!" is the best phrase in the universe. It means someone actually likes me enough to put up with my random craziness! That, my friends, is a rare find.

12. Spinning around in an office chair- Admit it. We've all done this at some point in our lives. Some of us more than others. The weirder ones of the bunch like to add annoying, loud sound effects to the twirling. (i.e. "Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!")

13. Seeing you got a text- "Ding!". A sound we all hope to hear every second of the day.

14. Being so tired that anything and everything is hilarious- This happened to me, at church, tonight. I can only imagine how ridiculous I looked. I can't even remember half of what I said or did. Honestly, it's all a bit of a blur.

15. The feeling of satisfaction after finishing a blog post- Now, that is something I could get used to...
