Being so excited you leave your bike helmet on

When the person scratching your back finds that one really itchy spot and stays there for a while

Congratulations on scoring some back-scratching love.
Convincing a special someone to scrape their fingernails across your unreachables is a big accomplishment. Once the magic starts, make sure you close your eyes, purse your lips, and throw out some deep mmmmm’s to keep it coming.
And sure, there may be some ticklish moments on your shoulder blades, some unnecessary clawing at your lower back fat, but once in a while, when you least expect it, the scratcher will change direction and suddenly move their hands right onto that one really, really itchy spot.
AWESOME!

Finding a container with last night’s leftover restaurant dinner in your fridge

Scope this scene. End of the meal at the back of a dimly lit restaurant, your belly bursting with bowls of bread,  free soda refills , sugary salad, and half a  giant stir-fry , you’re thinking twice about the waiter’s offer to wrap up your meal. After all, the thought of one more forkful of  soy-sauce drenched snow peas  makes you gag and the image of lugging a drippy Styrofoam container to  the movies  ain’t appealing.

And then you drag that doggie-bag around town and toss it in your fridge before bed, completely forgetting about it until you groggily look for breakfast the next morning. Wh...

When you flip to the radio station just as that song you love is starting

I’m a non-stop twiddler. Weaving through traffic,  speeding down the ramps , cruising through the city, I’ve got one hand on the wheel and the other tapping through the radio dials. Sure, I swing by for traffic and weather, but then I’m off — checking if the host is back on my main station, cruising by the backups to see what’s playing, or even stopping in for a couple innings of the  ball game . Once in a while I end up on a station I don’t visit very often just as the opening notes are kicking in for one of my old favorites. As the drum kicks and guitar strums jolt my memory back and scratch my brain stem just the right way, I smile and settle in for a few minutes of  head-bopping bliss  on the drive home. AWESOME!

Listening to your new favorite song over and over and over again

Memorize the lyrics, remember the beats, and hit  the back button  again and again until your new favorite tune is permanently etched in your brain. AWESOME!
