Okay, so I thought on the whole "What gets me excited" question...

Intellectual excitement:

Solving math problems--I know I'm a dork!
Watching a crochet project begin to take shape--I'll post a pic of the blanket I just finished later.
My children finally getting something I have taught them.
Making gifts /figuring out the perfect gift to buy for someone

Activities:

Softball--haven't played in a while because I just can't get into the co-ed thing. If you aren't playing to win, it's just not the same!

Board Games--well, except Monopoly

Shopping--unfortunately this is more fun when you have money to spend and we are not millionaires!

Does reading count as an activity?

I know this isn't a really long list...maybe I'm just not an exciting person! No really, my idea of a vacation is a beach, a chair, and all of Jane Austen's novels. Throw in the movies based on her novels with an unlimited supply of yarn and I'm the happiest woman alive. Does this make me dull?
