100 Awesome Things


So I've come to the realisation that I moan far too much. *Gasp* So, in light of this new discovery, I've decided to become more grateful for the little things in life. In order to do that, I've compiled my own personal list of 100 Awesome Things. This week is 1-10 and I will update now and again, perhaps with an unrelated back-to-normal-bitch-and-moan post.

1. The sense of acomplishment after exercising
So I've been trying to get back into my routine of doing Wii Fit and Just Dance to try and get fitter, and I haven't been doing it long enough to see any results. However, I used the freestyle jogging game and managed to run 2 miles the other day. The most I've ran in one go. EVER. You have no idea how proud I felt. For me, that's a huge achievement as I was always the girl in PE who could never run, never catch or throw a ball etc, I was more of a bully toy. Bitches.

2. Krispy Kreme doughnuts
I lost my KK virginity about a month ago and it was one of the most orgasmic things I have ever eaten. The nearest one is 45 minutes in Milton Keynes, and the only thing stopping me? A fear of driving somewhere I have no idea where to get to.

3. Getting an unexpected parcel or unexpected post
I love seeing a letter on the doormat addressed to me. Not that it's ever anything interesting, but I do love the small thrill you get when you see something's for you. Even when you know you've got a parcel coming, there's still the excitement of opening it.

4. Texts from someone you haven't spoken to in a while
What's better than getting a text from someone who you thought no longer gives a crap? It's a lovely pleasant surprise and it restores the fact that they probably still care.  

5. A big glass of Coke
Not cheap coke, not Pepsi, not "cola" - coke. Proper, full fat coke, no diet or that zero crap. Full fat coke is the way to go. Nothing better than a nice cool glass of coke when you really fancy it. Not from taps or hoses in pubs though.

6. The smell of fresh washing
I genuinely can't stop smelling every item that comes out of my washing machine after it's finished. Bras especially smell good.   

7. Hugs
Not just when you feel like crap, but just all the time. A hug can just make everything better, or it can put you in an even better mood. What can also be nice is a hug from someone who rarely does it. Like on New Year's Eve where everyone hugs everyone. Obviously under the influence of alcohol, but still, it's nice.

8. Getting into bed with freshly changed sheets
Just everything. The softness, the smell, the fact that things just feel so much more cosy when they're clean. Even more awesome when you're tired and going to bed is the one thing you want. 

9. Starting a brand new notepad
I just love starting a new notepad - you always use your best handwriting and take extra care to make sure you don't make mistakes, but by the time you get to the end, it all goes to shit. As does your university course...

10. Hearing a song that you instantly love
Only happens on occasion for me, but I love when it happens. You hear a song, you just love it straight away and then you can't stop listening to it. Then you forget about it for a while, then you listen to it a few months later and it's still as awesome as it was before.
