During these meetings you will each be required to list at least one 'awesome' thing about working here. Susan, GO."
"Oh, come on, this is so STU...."
"Did I mention this will be on your monthly review?"

"Something more specific, please."
"Oh. Ok. Um...
"Oh, I know! Making the candy apples is awesome.
"It really gets my aggressive tendencies out."
"I...see. Bob?"
"I like misspelling things and then convincing the customer it's actually spelled that way."
"Cracks me up every time!"
"Bob, I'm not sure this is exactly..."
"Ooh, yeah! And scaring the kids! That is SO awesome, am I right?" [high-fiveing Bob]
"Alright, everyone, if you'll just wait your turn..."
"What's wrong, Debra?"
"No, that's my awesome thing! Putting chocolate poo swirls on everything!"
"I call it my number two special. Haha!"
[sigh] "And Mary? What about you?"
"I like giving the customers exactly what they ask for."
"Ah, excellent! You see, everyone? Now this is...
"No, I mean EXACTLY what they ask for."
"It's totally awesome." [giggle]
"Well, I think that's enough for today. I hope this meeting has helped remind you all to cherish the little things, and to really enjoy your jobs here. Now, next week: Airbrushing! See you then."

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 1500 Newer› Newest»You know what's awesome?
New socks.
That's right, new socks. They're perfect, just the right amount of softness and stretch. Once they're worn and washed they're never the same again.
Simple pleasures.
Daffodils.. yellow daffodils are just plain awesome
Learning ASL with my best friend and being taken to deaf events.
My favorite awsome thing is to say good morning to my dog and watch as she gets all kinds of happy. Great way to wake up.
my favorite most-recent awesome thing was spending all day Saturday wondering where my oldest child was. she wasn't answering her phone and she wasn't at home and she wasn't at a friend's house....only to find out that she had spent the entire day in Cordova, AL, at the FEMA emergency distribution center helping folks after the storm. Way to go, kid! :)
Madi
I love seeing somebody smile after a hard day! BTW, great post!
One of my favorite AWESOME things is when I get to fly back home and go to Scala Pastry (in Queens) and eat one of their AMAAAAZING Cannoli! mmmmm......
Awesome is my middle school aged autistic son making his own friends for the first time!!!
Favorite thing: eating dessert first :-)
That owl cupcake thing is hideous.
One of my favorite things is how awesome my hubby is: smart, strong, hot and serves our country as a Navy Diver (UDT shorts, look'em up! oh yeah!). He's super swell and one heck of a father to our two kids who adore him. Even more awesome is how he cracks me up! Like CW, but without the "I never want to see another cake ever again" feeling! :D
My favorite thing is getting to watch a movie or listen to good music or enjoy a concert with someone else who also loves the movie/music/band. :) It's like going to Disneyland with someone for their first time-all the wonder and magic... :) love it!
Awesome is spending time outside on a nice day, just doing nothing! In this crazy world I live in, such days are far between.
I have so many awesome things!!! Like waking up in the morning to look at the clock and realize I still have two hours before I have to be up! Buying new bottles of Nail polish! Baking the PERFECT cake! And my husband, who tells me literally everyday how awesome he thinks *I* am and how I am his world, the love of his life, his soul mate, etc. <3<3<3
I have many favorite things - here's some totally awesome ones:
-Finding an alternate method (due to stupid program limitations) when using MS Word or Publisher to do something so that I can make my work look the way I want it to. Because if I don't succeed, the computer wins! I hate losing to a machine.
-Using up leftovers in the fridge (I hate those silly little containers of 3 bites of food - plus, a tidy fridge is very satisfying)
-Soft-serve chocolate vanilla twist ice cream in a waffle cone. True joy!
-Dates with funny, kind, attractive men who think I'm worth pursuing...and who my heart thinks are worth bragging about.
My favorite awesome thing is being able to go to bed early (or at all) because a deadline got moved! (oh the life of a college student during finals...)
My current favorite awesome thing is being able to say that I am having a piece of cake "because the baby wants it." Only 3 more months of that excuse.
my boyfriend, erik. i've known him for 17 years through work, always knew that he's perfect for me and finally four years ago he asked me out! we now live together. AWESOME.
My awesome thing is food. I know that it's a broad and vague answer, but I can't narrow it down! I love food, and it's always (well, mostly) awesome!
Hmmmm - I think that feeling you get when you wake up at your usual work day time and then realize it's a weekend and you can go right back to sleep. That's awesome right there!
Having a mini LAN party with my boyfriend right after Portal 2 came out was probably one of the most awesome things to happen recently. ;3
by the way, Kitty Apple seemed cute until they started oozing caramel blood.. now they're concerning..
It's awesome when I get a couple of onion rings in my fries from Burger King. Two for one!!!
Awesome for me is being able to see the wildflowers on a mountain before they disappear, then recreating them on cakes...or trying to!
Awesome all time favorite is dinner with a group of friends. Lots of love and laughter.
My favorite awesome thing is sitting on the couch with my dog in my lap and my daughter leaning against me. My whole family together. :)
Oh, and naps. lol
Hmmm.. Awesome is marrying my fiance in 131 days. Also awesome is my grown, soon to be (step-)daughter announcing that I'm her mom on facebook. Also awesome is having my dad perform our ceremony. Also awesome... naw, I'll stop. Lots of awesome happening in September. :)
SP~
My favorite thing is realizing my carefully hidden cupcake managed to stay hidden from my husband! Yum.
The most Awesome thing is listening to my grandkids giggle and laugh!
Michele S
My favorite awesome thing is discovering blogs like this, and getting to waste an entire afternoon reading all the back posts. CAKE!!!
One of my favourite awesome things is seeing the cherry blossom being blown about in the wind and feeling like I'm in a Japanese movie. Sappy, I know, but we have so much cherry blossom round here right now, it's really anime-esque!
My favorite thing is feeling productive and actually getting everything on that to-do list done! It happens so very rarely.
Also, chocolate cake.
Flipping over the pillow to get to the cool side - AWESOME.
Awesome is getting to leave work five minutes early.
Favorite awesome thing: half mango/half pinapple frozen yogurt with sliced almonds!
A few of my favorite things would be my month old daughter Reggie, my pup Cary Grant, this website and snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes.
This has been wonderful to read...to see that there really is so much awesomeness in the world. Thank you everybody! My awesome thing is when I'm teaching and my math students "get" a new or difficult concept. It litterally gives me chills.
That, and getting the first scoop of peanut butter out of a new jar.
Lizzie
Today my favorite awesome thing is having only 23 school days left till Summer vacation! So ready for school to be out and kids homework projects to be done!
My favorite thing is snuggling on the couch with my husband while watching new episodes of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood with our two dogs on our laps whilst eating a red velvet cupcake. Woot!
Yani
Awesome is when your husband returns from deployment an when you hug eachother you bounce away because there is a big belly in between you now that 9 months ago wasn't there. And awesome is your husband making it home for the birth of your children even though he has To go back to war. Awesome is also when my oldest son tells me I look beautiful just because. :) also egg shaped reeses are so very Awesome!
First kisses.
THE awesome-est!
I live in Michigan. Any day the sun shines is awesome!
charts and graphs of interesting things
example: how many tissues used in various countries
one of my favorite awesome things is lazing in bed in the morning, cool sheets against my toes and the sound of my husband and daughter in the next room. then, thump, thump, thump and there's a little curly head next to my bed and a very soft greeting: "hey-yo mummy, wake up!"
My home water birth was completely awesome :) Not much compares to the rush of endorphins and overwhelming joy when you catch your newborn baby in your own living room!

I live in Michigan, any day that the sun shines is awesome!
Going to the bathroom and realizing there's JUST ENOUGH toilet paper left...
Honestly, one of the most awesome things was finding this blog. I was a cake decorator at a bakery and these pictures are AWESOME even tho they bring back some "awesome" memories of what the girls in the store used to write ...
Being able to watch all the Boston Red Sox games, even though I live in Texas!
One of my favorite awesome things is making a HUGE batch of homemade pasta salad and then eating it twice a day for as long as it lasts!
It's awesome to hear my Autistic daughter speak. We waited for a long time.
On a side note, a couple weeks ago I picked her a dandilion. She hugged it, closed her eyes and said "What a beautiful world. Thanks Momma." She's amazing.
Waking up and thinking that you have 3 minutes until your alarm goes off, but then realizing its a weekend and you really have 3 more hours. Awesome!
I think it is awesome that 1000 people who don't know me all read the best blog on the internet each day! Keep up the great work, Jen (You don't know me!)
The most awesome thing I can think of right now isn't even a thing - it's a person: my WWII-veteran grandfather! He has made it through the Great Depression, WWII, three massive heart attacks, and several bouts with cancer. He'll be 87 years old next week, still plays golf twice a week and hits farther off the tee than guys in his foursome who are twenty years younger than he. If that isn't awesome, I don't know what is. :)
Visiting Cake Wrecks is awesome.
Totally Awesome is everyone going home safe after working 12 hours in the jail.

I love when there's actually 6 chicken nuggets in my 5 piece.
My favorite awesome thing varies from day to day--today, it would be when I was driving my son home from school and he asked me how long it takes to get to Heaven after you die. I said I didn't know and asked why he wanted to know. He said that he wants to get there FAST so he can see us again! He also is excited at the prospect of meeting George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Now THAT'S awesome!--Heather B.
Having a tiny baby smile at you is awesome. Literally, AWWWW...some.
Most awesome thing is when you first enter the Magic Kingdom. Bonus points when your husband and children love it as much as you do!

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure bonsai trees are totally awesome!

Most awesome thing:
Being chosen as a winner for contests that you are very unlikely to win. Maaaaaybe that could happen today.....*hint hint*

Old people. Especially old couples. AWWWW!
My 15 year old daughter is awesome. From her razor sharp, sarcastic wit to the way she handled her recent battle with thyroid cancer. I mean... she's SO awesome she didn't just go with ONE kind of thyroid cancer, she went with BOTH kinds! Seriously awesome that.
Coming home after getting called into work on a Sunday and finding my wonderful husband cleaned the house.
Weekend mornings when I can make a big breakfast and we can sit an enjoy it together.

Biting into a cupcake and realizing that some angel has taken the time to add filling!

The feel of freshly shaved legs on freshly washed sheets is totally AWESOME!!
I think Team Starkid is totally awesome.
My favorite thing is the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter!! YUM :)

Awesome thing... having a quiet house. Kids are at school. Just me and the cat and the dog. (And Cakewrecks. :) )
Finding an unexpected EXTRA Cake Wrecks post, calling my eight year old daughter over and getting to share the pictures and the giggles with her. Unexpected laughter - an amazing, awesome thing.

Awesome = dressing exactly appropriately for the weather. You're not too hot, you're not too cold, you don't get stuck dragging around an unnecessary jacket or umbrella, you don't get wet, your shoes and clothes reflect the perfect balance of comfort and style. Awesome!
No matter how old you get, getting approval or a "Good job" from your parents is always an awesome thing!

Taking a bite of food so big you can barely close your mouth.

My favorite awesome thing is when my very "energetic" 6 year old son quietly comes up to me, gives me a hug, and says "I really love you mommy." Makes me melt...
My awesome thing is my son ( and my daughters, but, for this reason,mainly him). He is awesome each time he relearns to walk after major surgery, he is awesome with every injection he has for his arthritis ( unrelated to leg problems). He is awesome even though anything he does is more difficult for him due to his neuromuscular problems. He is awesome because if you looked or listened to him, you wouldn't know how awesome he is.
Finally, he is awesome because his favourite word is -
AWESOME!

Even though all the ATMs and credit card machines in the world are different, my totally awesome thing is that they make all the fountain soda cup lids the same! It doesn't matter which cup I take in to 7-11 to refill, a lid will fit! Makes me happy daily.
Chex Mix. It's awesome but it sucks that I can't get it in New Zealand. I bought six bags back when I came back from the US last year - I'm making them last!!
-- Tams
My awesome thing is having the opportunity to vote. (It's election day in Canada.)
"The beatings will continue until morale improves."
Heres to being a crazy cat lady drinking Hazelnut Lattes and eating chocolate chip cookie dough, never you mind the chocolate chip cookies! Not being too grown up to watch cartoons and Anime. Loving crazy pajamas and fuzzy socks! How does one choose from all the little things that makes my life totally awesome? It can't be done! - Amy
Awesome?
Barefoot Contessa homemade marshmallows with kosher gelatin.
(and may I add... Boob Nazi discussing "driving with the top down")
My favorite awesome thing is that feeling that comes upon me without warning; that I am where I'm meant to be, life is good and I am happy. I just close my eyes and breathe into that moment, and then go about my day.
My most awesome thing happens every day when my son says "I love you Mom." I know there are too many people out there who either want kids but can't have any or who have kids who cannot express themselves, so I appreciate how very lucky I am to get to hear those words every day.
At least until he's a teenager. :-)
Awesome thing in my life...is waking up in the morning..free to choose live my life as I wish and being respected,accepted, and loved for who I am..
Hitting all green lights on the way home from work.
That epic sense of awesome I get when I read the cake wrecks blog in a public place while I am sitting of by myself...and then start laughing. Tue awesome comes in when I realize that I look like a crazy person...yeah.

Godiva truffles. I had a bunch in my Easter basket.

-Alexis O.
My awesome may seem silly to some but here goes. My awesome is the Kitchen Aid stand mixer my husband bought me for Mother's day after he and his father so enjoyed all the desserts I made from scratch for Easter. This is especially nice since my MIL (who passed 2 years ago) never made a wreck in her life.
Total awesomeness is my daughter being state ranked in both the 1600m and the 3200m as a freshman!!!
One of my awesome moments is when people think I am 10 years younger than what I actually am...and blue moon ice cream...and snow...and snuggling with my cats ....and warm summer days...and family...and fun blogs like CakeWrecks and Epbot :)
thank you for all you do, Jen and John!
80 degree weather!! woohoo :)
That moment when you realize that whatever it is you've been worrying about is so pointless in the grand scheme of things that there's no point in worrying.

-Hanna
My favorite awesome thing is listening to my 7 month old son giggle -in his sleep...what can he be dreaming about?
My favorite awesome thing is either getting a big hug from my children, or watching a great baseball game without being interrupted (which is not as easy in Europe as it is in the US!).
Awesome: When your writing an answer in on those little lines and it fits perfectly. It makes you feel like you got it exactly right.

Also Awesome: Cake in general. And Cake Wrecks. Duh.
To me, the most awesome, wonderful thing is waking up with a snuggly kitty (or two, or three!) purring on your pillow.
I love it when you get the icing flower on the slice of cake... oh and shower punch... wedding shower, baby shower whichever!
An old friend randomly calling to catch up when you happen to have great news =] AWESOME!

~Addie Marie
Having my whole family together for a couple of days where nobody has to rush off for anything...that's awesome!
Oops! forgot to put my name on my previous post! It's Lee
Awesome things kids say. My 3 year old made us laugh the other morning. While still asleep she said, "Oh no Geggie! I'm sorry I dropped the taco!" Thanks to her we had Mexican for dinner. Tonight I think we're having Chinese because she wants "to go to China". That's what she thinks the chinese restaurant is. Love it!

I love when spring has just arrived and I can open my window and let the fresh air in.
It's awesome when I go to the library and the book that I have been dying to read has finally been published and I get to read it at last! (Four years, Patrick Rothfuss? But it was totally worth the wait.)
Kelly F.
One of my most awesome things is when my husband takes care of me while I'm on crutches! He is the best!
My fav awesome thing right now? My daughter's bedtime. Actually after she has fallen asleep, because bedtime has recently been followed by repetitive getting out of bed and asking for random things that she needs "right now".
Awesome is a coffee machine that a) can be set up the night before and be push-a-button ready in the morning, and b) has a carafe that keeps coffee hot without overcooking it.
Awesome is also a snuggly purring cat sleeping on you. (Except at 3am, when it's equal parts awesome and "omg go away let me sleep")
The fact that an item that I wanted to put on my birthday gift list is now available for FREE on my favorite blog! IT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!
My favourite most awesome thing is me not working shift work any more. I can actually sleep from and wake up at a normal time, not only that I can remember what day of the week it is and not have to convince my brain for half a day that it is actually Monday, not Thursday like I was so sure it was.
Charmaine S, the normal one now
Knowing I am going to be in the Whitsundays in two days! Awesome.

A paid day off from work where have to do absolutely nothing.
one of my favorite awesome things is stepping on leaves and having them crunch under my feet (:
I think-no. I KNOW that A Very Potter Musical is Totally Awesome.

My absolute most favorite awesome thing is when I feel down in the dumps I get a hug from my gorgeous 10 year old daughter and a kitty in my lap. AHHHHH talk about fast acting non prescription pain relief!!!
Tegan's Mom
You know what's awesome? Realizing at the end of a long day that Mental Health Awareness month started yesterday and, being bipolar, I feel like I have at least one month to live without shame this year. Knowing that I am worth something and that others care about me, whether they know me personally or just my disease, is truly awesome.
Licking the beaters is so awesome.
Holding hands with my kids is awesome and rejuvenating!
Something that is awesome is that my dear friend Stephanie is finally pregnant after 3 miscarriages.

Awesome is listening to my kids sing! It makes us all so happy.
It is awesome when you don't have a whole lot of money but then find a great deal on something you've been wanting for a while, like a $10 puzzle that I got on sale at the craft store for $.99.
Awesome is my 8th grade students telling me I'm "even cooler than Justin Bieber!"
(Eighth graders clearly have a different scale for cool than I do. Or at least I hope they do...Ack!)
The MOST awesome thing is knowing that Jesus Christ died for my sins and that I can gain eternal salvation simply by acknowledging this fact, asking Him to forgive my sins & repenting (which doesn't mean being perfect, it just means doing my best to live according to God's will). I hope you post this- I'm not a fanatic, just a devout Christian. Thanks!
Eating a delicious homemade meal is AWESOME. Double AWESOME if I made it, and triple AWESOME if everyone else at the table likes it, too.
Receiving a handwritten letter by airmail from a friend living overseas. Snail-mail at it's best!
