Backseat windows that go all the way down.
Our old family car was a Ford Taurus station wagon. I loved the car, but we had no air conditioning, ugly seats and bad acoustics. Moreover, we had those wretched windows.
You know what I’m talking about. Automobile makers, you’ve got to step up your game. None of this half-way, quarter-way, all-the-way-but-an-inch business. We won’t have it.
Tried dangling your arm out a window that stops short? Yep, can’t swag like the front seat crew cause you’ll be having cut-off circulation and cold, blue hands. And a young child like me will have only the tops of our heads ruffled by the wind. Not fun.
Backseat windows that go all the way down make life a bit more sweeter. Time to grab your hair in the wind like a supermodel or fix that bout of car nausea!
AWESOME!

Playing with a baby and not having to change its diaper
Babies are bundles of joy. They play, they laugh, they grow, and lets you remember how you were just like that, some hundred years ago. You just make faces, do baby-talk voices, and fly your hand around like an airplane. They laugh and giggle and you’re suddenly a world class entertainer.
But as any other human, their digestive systems needs to be taken care of, and you’re the one to do it.
Unless you’re just a visiting family member, seeking only photos and laughs.
Now, observe with feigned interest as they do the nether region sniff and facial observation, but when they say “Looks like someone needs their diaper changed!”, that’s your cue to slink away into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, you can casually show up and ask “Hey, can I play with the baby again?”
AWESOME!

Getting the chocolate you want from the assorted box
My family has a dessert policy.
Upon the countertop, stands a box of gorgeous chocolaty delicacies. Every night, each member of the family is allowed one piece. Uh huh, just one.
This is where the problem comes in. Should you eat your favourite one first, or save for later? Which one do you like?
Do you like the thick fudgy ones that get stuck in your teeth like brown-sugar fillings? Do you prefer those squares with the dry flaky white stuff in them? Do you hunt ruthlessly for the one chocolate truffle, get your Vitamin C with orange cream, or just pop the lid off and swipe the rectangle hunk of plain milk chocolate sitting in the middle?
Whatever you like, it a wonderful moment when you take the chocolate you want from the new box. Unless you lose the little index page, forcing you to take the risk of taking those maraschino cherry ones. Yikes!
AWESOME!

Surprise two-ply
We all hate those big toilet paper wheels in the public washrooms. Yeah, the huge rolls look inviting, but the paper’s a thin, translucent one-ply that scrapes at your nether regions.
Yes, you have to stick your hand up there and fish around a bit to find a loose end, and then give it an even, gentle tug just so to prevent it from ripping into bits. Not fun.
Now once it a while, our local mall or school might splurge on a little bathroom luxury. Just one extra layer of wood pulp brings us all the feeling of home. Charmin ultra soft? Looks like sanctuary has been found.
AWESOME!

When you don’t want to pull out cash and you find a gift card
Some may argue that gift cards lack the sentimental personal value of a handpicked present, but they have their pros as well.
Now lets envision this.
It’s a Monday morning and you’ve got to get your coffee fix. Groggily, you pull into your local Tim Hortons drive thru, and BAM, you realize you have no cash. Whipping out the bank card is pathetic, and backing up is out of question.
Within the depths of your purse, there happens to be a gift card from your previous birthday. One swipe, and you’re out!
AWESOME!
The death of Picnik has lead to a lame polaroid frame for captions. Pardon my lack of ability to utilize photoshop.

Picnik
Good photo editing sites are hard to come by. Instagram is too minimal, Photoshop takes the skill of a master. Now here we have Picnik, easy interface, endless options. It’s every apprentice photo editor’s dream.
Tomorrow, this wondrous site will be gone for good. Yes, there are many other options to transfer to, but what site can prove itself a worthy match?
Not only the picnik-crazy Facebook girl will be weeping, I will be mourning for it’s departure as well. Mind you, all these Tumblr entries were edited with trusy ol’ Picnik, double collage, 5 pt margins, 1 degree roundness, Geosanslight font.
Until I learn photoshop (which I illegally own), all my future profile pictures will feature ghastly blemishes and disastrous lighting. Let’s all take a moment, and remember picnik’s
AWESOME!

Your birthday week
One day is not enough.
Seriously, the name birthday itself implies that annual celebrations of your life must be squeezed into twenty-four hours. Multiple parties call for multiple days!
The Fam Jam- Who brought you up, and watched you spend every single birthday all these years? Yes, your folks deserves their very own dinner party, complete with red pockets.
Besties Bash- The walk through life will present you with scores of acquaintances, but you know you’ll only have those 10 who stay close to your heart. Awesome exclusive party, just for them.
Alternative Party- Co-workers, classmates, employees, they need to celebrate with you too. In my case, a party with my fellow birthday and instrument buddies in band. (That’s our cake)
Social Networks- Nothing screams “birthday” more than facebook notifications. Rake them in and reply them all!
With all this, do you possibly think it’ll fit in a day? So I say make your birthday a birthweek, throw three parties instead of one, and let’s have enough flaming cakes and paper hats for a lifetime of
AWESOME!

Trampolines
Jumping is a part of daily life. Reaching for that curtain strap, grabbing that basketball, leaping up the stairs. But what if I told you, there was a contraption to help you jump just for the fun of it?
Oh yes, we’re talking about trampolines.
If you’ve never been on one, baby, you’re missing out on life. Flips! Dives! Off the wall! The possiblities are endless.
What’s even more awesome is that once you get your feet back to solid ground. You lose your ability to jump. For the next hour, you’ll just be trudging along the floor like you were on planet jupiter. Trust me.
AWESOME!
This birthday, I went to a trampoline park for my party, hence the self-taken photograph for today. (I’m the one in blue, not the upside yelling one)

Watching milk go into coffee
Swirling seas of milky white twist and twirl like strange and distant galaxies in the far corners of outer space.
So far, all the coffee I’ve drunk came prepared and presented in a Tim Hortons paper cup. No milk pouring neccessary. But today, I stared into my ceramic telescope, and watched as the cloud sank to the bottom, then billowed up in a majestic cloud of latte diffusion.
AWESOME!

Coin fountain trick shots
Legend has it that if you make a wish while throwing a penny into a public fountain, your wish will be granted.
Or maybe you’ve just got some extra change to blow after buying a coffee. Possibly, you wanted to tip your local mall cleaner. (if that’s where the cash goes)
Whatever your reasons, be sure to land that coin in a sweet spot.
A pressured jet spewing out the top? A roman lady holding a endlessly-pouring pot? A smooth ball rolling around the middle?
Aim right, and toss! In tribute to our soon-to-be-exiled canadian penny, we shall toss them all.
AWESOME!

Dressing up as your favourite character when going to a movie premier
Bleached eyebrows, outrageous headpiece, puffy flashy dress? Yep, that was going to be me IF I went to the premier of hunger games.
How about dressing up in a robe, gryfindor tie, and brandishing a legitimate wand for Harry Potter?
When we feel we are part of that society, we gotta dress the part. Even better, you become the main character.
Who lives in Panem, participates in the hunger games, and wins it? That’s right. YOU.
AWESOME!
