The inspiration for this post came from a couple of weeks ago when I eagerly scratched away a couple of tickets to reveal a total of a $70 win! I don’t really make a habit out of buying scratch tickets, but I have been known to have pretty good luck with them. The satisfaction that […]

Walking into a store like Staples or Office Depot, opportunity for satisfaction abounds. Office supplies, for the most part, are pretty wicked satisfying. I’m sure there will be some entries dedicated to other supplies to come (the Pilot G-2 anyone??), but for this entry, I’m going to talk about paper. If you’ve been to […]

It’s Spring, and as anyone who’s ever sat through a poorly orchestrated HGTV or TLC show knows, ’tis the season for home improvement. Just as the bears and other forest-dwelling creatures emerge from hibernation, so do the frustrated, cooped up DIYers, migrating back to their beloved homelands of Home Depot and Lowe’s in their SUVs […]

Tada! This post marks the first Wicked Word Wednesday since the birth of this new baby blog. Can you handle all of this alliteration?

Thank you, Greg Behrendt, for putting it all into perspective for us. Given the choice of friends versus Cadbury Eggs, it can be hard to choose.

I suppose this kind of approaches the borderline between the ‘wicked satisfying’ things in this blog and other types of satisfaction, but we couldn’t let Easter go by without talking about the most satisfying Easter candy in existence - the epic legend known as the Cadbury Creme Egg. Cadbury Eggs go from a snack to […]

Ever watch FoodTV? Ever watch it on your own accord when you’re not at your grandmother’s/aunt’s house? If not, you’re missing out, but don’t worry; there are plenty of opportunities for you to get an eye-full of culinary delight at your local bookstore. Fondant covered cakes are one of those things that I’ve always been […]

Stamping a library book slip is an endangered satisfying experience, soon to be completely extinct as a result of being replaced by scanning a bar code, but it’s worth searching for. Why do you think Belle was so obsessed with books- Reading?? Psh. That’s what she wants us all to think. I’m pretty sure her […]

Not all seatbelts are created equal, but if you’re lucky, you might sit down to go for a ride and find that buckling that seatbelt isn’t such a chore. Chances are, buckling your seatbelt has become second nature to you, particularly if you’re part of the “Click it or ticket” generation. Gotta love those local […]
