For Granted

Ever noticed the little things in life.....you know, all those things that everyone of us use everyday....but we never give them a second thought.  Well, I have noticed and here is my list of just a few of the favorite things I never cared about:

*Cracking an egg and not getting any shell in the bowl!  It is always a good day when you aren't fishing eggshell out of a bowl of brownie mix!!!

*The light given off from a brand new lightbulb.   Although, first thing in the morning it can be a bit disturbing!

*The sound your cell phone makes when you get a text message! It's kinda like, "Ohh.....someone is thinking of me!"

*A meat thermometer....hello.....no more guessing if it is done and having dry, over-cooked meat!

*Cruise control. 

*Unrolling TP for the first time and having it tear apart cleanly.....not shredding and seperating the layers.

*Rhodes Rolls:  The fastest way to bake "homemade" bread that everyone will love....and think you spent hours on.

*On that same note.....store bought pie crusts.....sometimes there just isn't time!

*Clicky pens.  Even though they can be extremley irritating if left in the wrong, figity hands....

*A light switch....think about it. How many times has your electricity been out and you still walk into a dark room and try to turn on the lights!

*Picking up a roll of tape and realizing whoever used it last folded the end over so you aren't having to search for the start of the roll!

*Finding the perfect gift bag in your gift bag stash.  How many times have you tried to wrap a birthday gift in a Christmas bag, just because it was the only one that would fit.

*The taste of ice when you replace the filter in your freezer.

*Public bathrooms with push doors to go out.....who wants to grab a door handle in a public bathroom!

And now, I want to hear yours......What is it that you never thought about, but always take for granted?

First, let me apologize for the clicky pens...also, I too think of a text message as a little present I wasn't expecting! :)

In addition, I will offer the following:
--The feeling of clean sheets on the bed.
--A brand-new gel pen.
--The smell of your hands after you've chopped up cilantro or basil.
--Pictures you forgot you had on your camera.
