In no particular order, this post will encompass a wide range of levels of excitement. =) Oooh...now I feel pressure to be sure and mention my hubby first. LOL I'm not giving an awards acceptance speech, but that aside - he really does, excite me. He doesn't get how much he excites me. He's a city government official and watching him on tv during locally broadcasted telecasts really excites me. More than his job, he's the best man I know. I am elated that someone so solid, brilliant and fun wants me...forever. Ok, ok...moving along......
I get excited, walking through my kitchen to turn off lights, before hitting the hay, to see my Bunn coffeemaker. Sometimes, when a day is tough, the thought alone of fresh brewed coffee and it's velvety goodness sparking my tastebuds first thing in the morning, just gives me a whole new appreciation for the beginning of a new day. Our fireplace excites me. I've never lived in a house with a fireplace. I believe a fireplace really IS as romantic as it looks like on tv or movies. Marzetti's stuffed olives, either garlic or jalapeno, excite me! Random - but they're so YUMMY and make me feel like I'm having a sophisticated snack. Of course, I limit my intake to 2 or 3 or else I won't be exciting my hubby to create romance in front of our fireplace. ;) As Steve would say, "Hey-O!" ...again...moving along....
When my postal lady rings my doorbell, because she has to hand me a package that won't fit in my mailbox, is exciting. Paying off debt is e-l-a-t-i-o-n! Dark chocolate, red wine and bleu cheese crumbles excite me. Jazz is a new excitement for me. {Thank you my mommy and her friends that I can't wait to meet.} When my dad calls me, I get excited. Dancing, a good acoustic set and preparing for a large family gathering or company, in our home, really get me going. The words, "You were right Mama!" from Jacob's stunned voice, excite me. I get charged when I get to sing karaoke. Give me some "Alone" by Heart or any song by Evanescence that I get to pretend I'm a kick-ass rock queen and I'm in frickin' paradise. Spotlight excites me - this is a truth I've downplayed for a lot of years now....so over that...just sayin'. Making dough for bread or rolls is strangely exciting for me. There's something I feel like I'm learning about each batch I make - temperatures, water or milk and dry ingredients - don't always mix the same dough, but they ALL feel so good in my hands and [knock on wood] have always tasted so good. Taking communion at church or with the ones I love excites me. J-A-C-O-B is excitement and the greatest high, in the flesh, of my life. His very existence and the intricacy of how he's fearfully and wonderfully made - excite me, cuz he's evidence, as we all are, of a great Creator!
And....that's all. For now. I am preparing for snow and a holiday party in our home, this weekend.
