Clean sheets on my bed especially when I've just shaved my legs. They feel so clean and smooth.<BR/>2. Winter nights when it's freezing outside and I'm sat inside with my family wearing big socks and drinking hot chocolate or red wine. (Ohhh I'm such a cheat.)<BR/>3. Peeping at Miss E and M when they're fast asleep. They look so cute and it's so nice to tuck them in and leave them all safe and warm and ready for dreams.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-30842562607822504132007-09-28T07:09:00.000-06:002007-09-28T07:09:00.000-06:00Sigh.

A good friend (and, coincidentally, an ER nurse) used to forbid anyone but her to use a bathroom for 24 hours after she'd cleaned it. (Yes, the house had more than one bathroom.) She's my hero.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273493776473085128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-9900901456077818362007-09-27T20:36:00.000-06:002007-09-27T20:36:00.000-06:00I love all these answers!

A spree just doesn't do it. I still turn into the bitch when I try, though. It's nice knowing I can scare people.<BR/><BR/>My three simple pleasures:<BR/><BR/>1.

Ice cream. Vanilla, peach, butter pecan. And Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee, which I would eat as a steady diet but my arteries would clog in 10 days.<BR/><BR/>3. Naps. Any time. Any place.
