Besides getting a manuscript accepted, what makes you happy. I'm interested. For me, it's:

l. Being on AW with my friends, o' course.
2. Playing the guitar.
3. Being with Mr. Susie.
4. Eating chocolate.

(Not necessarily in that order).

Dream?

My dreams have become reality.

Mr. Susie and I have shared a love none of you could ever understand.

The cold and deliberate stench of death.

...

...

...

What?

1. Watching folks who never met in person rescue each other.

2. Smarties--geez, but those little candies are great!

1) Time with my boys - priceless!!
2) Beads!
3) My bike
4) Life on the road

I forgot one.

7) Animals, particularly kitties.

1) My Duchlings.

2) Naps.

3) Revenge on my enemies.

Susie, you start the best threads!

It's the little things that make me happy: an iced coffee, a new issue of PEOPLE magazine, snuggles from my girls, a good nap, a HOT shower, putting the finishing touch on a piece I've written, someone taking the time to be thoughtful. I could go on...

1) My kids
2) My wife
3) My dog
4) Life. I love waking up and being alive
5) The sun
6) Music
7) Words
8) Nature and finding my place in it
9) Smelling Sunday supper
10) Seeing the steam on the windows just before supper is served
11) My 3 brothers

This is a great thread Susie!

My family,
Designer purses.
Fitting into my jeans,
Reading a good story
Talking with friends
Hiking
Spending time in nature
Sipping tea and reading a magazine.

1. Watching my kids interact with their friends. They are completely people unto themselves in those moments, and they are people I'm profoundly proud of.
2. Making my wife laugh.
3. Making my kids laugh.
4. Making my friends laugh.
5. Cookies.

I can't stop thinking about this. I'd like to add: a long conversation with my best friend, a back rub (with nothing expected in return), looking into misterwrites' eyes, watching a movie by myself, not having to share my food. And God. His presence in my life means everything, for without Him I am nothing.

I often feel this way when God is giving me a backrub.

Yes. Mm-hmm.

Turd.

1. Sitting down to spaghetti with quarter-pound meatballs.

2. Discovering another library that's circulating my book.

3. A long day out: J. Paul Getty Museum to take in the nighttime view of three southern California counties capped with dinner at Hamlet (formerly Hamburger Hamlet).

My naked baby girls.

Nothing.
