      @Kat, if the people in your real life aren't telling you you're pretty, they have a serious problem.

  11. This is a weird answer - heart-wise, the greatest moments of my life have been times spent with family, friends, furbabies, rescuing furbabies, etc. Those are the greatest moments. All the simple pleasures. But in terms of how it's intended here, an "I'm on top of the world!" sort of moment... it would have to be the first time I sang the game-opening National Anthem for the Dodgers. I was 18, I had first dreamed of doing it when I was 16. It was one of those moments when, as you're achieving a wish, dream, or goal, that you experience a feeling of true possibility and magic, & feel a little bit invincible.

    1. That's terrific Trilby. Is there a YouTube of it out there? One of my best moments was when I sang "Desperado" and the bar stopped to listen. I nailed Linda's high note and was respected thereafter amongst the group. I was never the popular girl but felt like it then.

  12. The day I got married (the 2nd husband). Although the day I won $5600.00 playing bingo is a close 2nd.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 2nd marriage and babies. Also in future when I graduate at my University.

  14. My english isn't good enough to describe that moment of Spring 1990. All I can write is:
    I fell in love with the perfect woman. And she loved me back.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Knowing that the one thought I was the one too.

  17. 3.
    1- the day I stood up for my self and told a guy I was not gonna continue being his booty call (let it happen twice only) and told him I was looking for a relationship and he was not it. He begged to change my mind! Felt so good to say no!
    2- the day I met my husband.
    3- the day I kicked my mother out of my house for disrespecting my husband (he was not even in the room), she finally got the message I was not her baby and should respect me as an adult.

  18. Birth of my daughter, now age 20. I still remember it so clearly. I can even remember the first moment she looked straight into my eyes. A total miracle.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Child, education, marriage... in that order, but other than that... certain moments when out in nature or ducked up dancing at a good show where you are free of worries and truly enjoying the moment

    ReplyDelete
  20. The day I turned 18. Psycho for a mother no longer had dominion over me.

    Been happy ever since - and that's a looooong time.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Either when my brother was born or when I got my bachelor's.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I have two. Without a doubt when my boys were born. I had no idea it was possible to love someone as strongly as I did my first son. Apparently it is because I fell just as hard for son #2.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've had too many to count. But the best days included family and just simple things, but I took the time to stop and think this is one of the best days of my life

  25. Can I go with the obvious (for me) and say when the Saints won the Superbowl?
    I seriously don't think my best day has happened yet. I have had many amazing days but I think the future holds a lot more for me.
    @Riven, that broke my heart. Hugs to you.

  26. When I really realized i didnt care what anyone else thought about what I said or did. Quite freeing. Of course I was 40, lol

    1999
    working behind the scene at a fashion show
    l'wren scott produced
    james king, ivanka trump,noemi lenore
    the energy made me feel quite good. l'wren was quite eyecatching as one would imagine. first time id ever seen a a ten foot tall white woman with beautiful alabaster skin black hair and owning the room. first and last time i saw her in person, never talked to her but never forgot her she made an impression. i was sadden when she died.

    TRUE STORY:
    noemi was an unknown young model at the time. i was sitting in a big window having a cigarette. she sat on the other end with her walkman and she asked me what a certain tupac lyric meant. cant remember which. i kid u not.

  33. Husband and kids of course but in hindsight I was raised in a ultra strict some what suffocating existence but got to go to Europe with my class when I was 16. Getting shitfaced at a gay bar in Zurich was pretty damn awesome. The police broke up our after party but no one was arrested. Good times.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The moment I realized that fear of failure was crippling me. Hello rest of my awesome life!

  35. The day I scored 4 touchdowns in a single game!

  36. My first 69. I'll never forget the sunny afternoon in the upstairs of my friend's shore house, when I had my nose nuzzled up to a hairless 19y/o bunghole. So tender and pale, it was the same color as the buttcheeks. I was young and timid and afraid of the reaction licking it would result in, so I kept my tongue to the vagina and clitoris, while basking in its beauty and aroma. Thank the good lord baby jeebus that I jack off to much to make a BJ an easy job, so I got to appreciate it for quite some time that day.

    #2 would be 10yrs later, the day she moved out.

  37. Me and my daughter traveling around Europe

  38. The day I saw my now husband for the first time in 30 years.

    Great story @fancyscreenname!

  39. Riven: Your story is lovely.

    Yours was moving as well Count.

    Cool,Fancy!

    Kristen, thank you. I meant it from the heart except for the agent part. I hated that bitch and it was my ticket to break free.

    Of course everyone knows I never won an Oscar. Thanks for playing along.

    Best moment would be when I met the Opster. After all these years he's still the best. I adore him madly.

  41. I love my husband and kids, and I've seen the Pyramids, but the greatest moment of my life was when I got 700's on the SAT's. I was recruited by most Ivy League colleges and chose Columbia.

    ReplyDelete
  42. PS. I should add that I grew up lower-middle-class and my Dad worked in a factory. I went on full scholarship.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hugs Riven. That's so special. Totally write that down for future generations.

    Even though my first wedding was huge and I looked damn good if I can say so now...My 2nd wedding was so much more emotional and beautiful, birth of my babies, my kids first smiles, anytime a migraine finally goes away, on stage at THE $ym&n was way more emotional than expected bc of the history. Don't wanna name it SEO and all...

    Count, yours is from your special place and I can tell you wrote it with passion. It's good to have hobbies. Were u married to ur special first?

    ReplyDelete
  44. @Countess: No, not married. Engaged for a few years until I gave up. A week later she split.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Mine is the day my daughter was released from the NICU & got to come home. (It was also my most terrifying moment, but in a good way.)

    ReplyDelete
  46. @JackDucky - love your comment. I hope my oldest son feels the same one day.

    Best moment of my life was the 1st night I stayed up with my baby boy ( 3 1/2 months old) who I adopted from Ethiopia. We were still in Ethiopia, and I remember sitting in the guest house, feeding, rocking & holding him and talking to him about all the amazing things he might do in his life.

    Although he's currently in his room for being, well 4, he's a pretty extraordinary kid and I love him with all my heart.

  47. Birth of my children and being told I am breast cancer free!

  48. And running the bases at Safeco field at Seattle Mariners Fan day with a picture of my dad in my pocket. He had passed away one year earlier and was a huge baseball fan. I would love to be able to do it at the Braves Stadium!

  50. This is cliché, but it was the birth of my daughter. She was the most beautiful and perfect thing I'd ever seen (still is), and she didn't even cry. She just looked around her, like, "WTF is this? Put me back in NOW!"

    ReplyDelete
  51. Haven't had it yet.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Among others, watching my daughter test for, and be awarded, her blackbelt. She sparred with guys a foot taller than her with such great energy and confidence, I was awed. She has so much to be proud of. And she's a truly nice kid.

  53. Greatest moment?

    The moment I gave thanks for having my dreams shattered because I just knew it would free me for better things to come.

    Which it did.

  54. 4 times, the day each of my 4 kids were born. <3 <3 <3 <3

    ReplyDelete
  55. (the night I saw Alice in Chains for the first time was pretty awesome, too! But the 4 kids, nothing can ever beat those 4 days :D )

    ReplyDelete
  56. When I survived an accident without harm
