Sounds I Love to Hear:
-My dogs yawning (AAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEE)
-My husband, breathing in his sleep (for that matter, the dogs, too)
-Hubby's keys unlocking the door
-Classical music played anywhere
-Orchestra meets Heavy Metal
-Silence
-Any sound I hear Up North (in Minocqua)
is a reminder of the peace I came in search of
-A student saying, "Oh, yeah...." when he/she understands a concept (all the while looking at me like I'm God)
-The start of my car's engine (who doesn't like the way their car sounds?)
-Bubba's laughter (with and without the snorting, too)
-My mother's piano playing is always soothing
-Fingernails on a chalkboard (doesn't bother me a bit, but it bothers my students. Ask me how I know, I dare you.)
-The sound of snow (if you can imagine)
-The absence of traffic (used to live on a busy street...noisy as hell, pollution galore)
-Cubs fans at Wrigley Field (including the seventh inning stretch)
-Thunderstorms in Minocqua (or anywhere else, but they're especially terrifying Up North)
-The car pulling up the gravel road Up North
-Bacon frying (sizzle is good, plus I like the word "sizzle")
-My dog barking her ever-loving head off out my car window (she's been my horn for the last two years)
-My Gram's voice is music to my ears, as gravelly as it is.
-The 2:30 bell that signals school is over (the workday has ended)
-The sound of my automatic car start working
-Hubby saying he loves me
-The dogs snorting when I rub their ears
-Christmas music (signals a "happy" season)
-A house full of happy guests
