1. The feeling when you first wake up but don't have to get out of bed yet.

2. When you're congested and then suddenly your nostrils open up.

3.Taking a big poop with only a little resistance. Combine that with a dry wipe and you're winning at life.

4. Getting goose bumps from music.

5. Having your hair played with/petted.

6. When you finally get rid of that thing stuck in your teeth.

7. Dipping your hand into deep bag of uncooked rice.

8. Sitting down after being on your feet all day.

9. That moment right before your favorite part in the song then that motion you do afterward.

10. pee-shivers

11. Burying yourself in hot laundry fresh from the laundry

12. Dangling a cool metal chain over your and slowly lowering it down so it collects in your palm.

13. Lying in a pool and smacking your arms down in the water to create a rush of tiny bubbles underneath you that envelope your entire body for a few seconds.

14. Putting on a brand new pair of socks.

15. A shower beer. Author highly recommends it if you haven't tried it.

16. Turning your pillow to the cold side.

17. Getting into your bed after you've washed the sheets and just made it.

18. Opening a book to the correct page on the first try.

19. Twirling a Q-tip in your ear immediately after a shower.

20. Pulling the protective plastic covers off new electronics.

Thoughts? Additions?

I have a few additions.

1. The first sip of a cold beer after a lotta physical activity in hot weather.
2. The warm feeling of a silent but deadly fart coming out while you're in a crowded elevator full of rude, obnoxious people.
3. The sense of joy with the sight of a state trooper pulling over the knucklehead that just passed you after he tailgated you , flashed his high beams, cursed, and flipped you the NJ state bird for not moving over quickly enough.
4. The feeling of relief when you hear sound of your old car firing up immediately after weeks of sitting.
5. the aaaaaaahhh feeling when you sit down into a hot tub that is the perfect temperature.
6. the applause from the seismic belch you delivered while in the company of buddies while consuming beers.

The sensation of acceleration. Be it horizontally or vertically. I NEVER get tired of a fast car, or jumping off of things.
Making a joke that everyone laughs at.
When either one of my daughters give me a big hug.

Love the mention of shower beer. Easily one of the best beers out there. I also like:

- Garage beer, right after you've accomplished your auto work and before you wash your hands. Usually opened with pliers.
- Gliding through 2+ feet of snow on a very steep decent on skis in a controlled free fall
- Finally peeing after holding it for 10 minutes while a friend was telling you a story
- Beating that stupid hard level on a video game (screw you, Tetris!)
- A perfect 'launch' of your car before watching the tach fly through the power band
- The goosebumps you get when your favorite song is played during a live concert
- Skinny dipping at the beach
- Showering in an outdoor shower

May not be everyone's cup of tea, but the weightless feeling on some amusement park rides.
Finally did the giant swing ride last summer- I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. I think that's the feeling little kids get when you toss them in the air.

You cross the line, look at your time and it's a number that you want to see. I've almost thrown my arm out a few times celebrating this.

1a. Hitting a new PR at the gym...and if it's big weight, the audience it generates.
1b. Getting pumped/swol with a sweat soaked shirt on...this is borderline sexual though.
2. The first sip of a homebrew and you rocked it!
3. Killing a spider
4. Random "I love you dad" from your kids.
5. Nailing a brief in front of a group of colonels.

Miata transmission's mechanical "click" that you can feel but not hear when upshifting.

Exhaust burbble when downshifting and braking.

Realizing you just escaped death. I've had a few and it never fails to bring a buzz.

YES!

Also-
Arriving at a friend's place, whom you haven't seen for quite some time, and he has a cold beer in hand, ready to go for you, followed by a firm handshake.

The smell of fresh cut grass.

Maybe its because I'm from Rhode Island (and there's "no place like home"), but there's nothing quite like the smell of ocean air.

That feeling when you get home after a long day of work, kick up the recliner, and slip your shoes off.
