when all is said and done...
...I am actually a simple woman. A simple woman with simple wants and needs and likes. Food, shelter, money to live, love, pets, friends, family. It doesn't take much to make me happy.
To wit:
My Curious George lunchbox - a Christmas present from my VP. The perfect size for carrying a paperback book and a small notebook for those days when I'm going somewhere, but don't need my Bag O' Stuff. It's so cute and bright and yellow that it's impossible to feel down when I've got it with me.
Also:
My Patrick watch. The band and face are reversible (the set-up in the picture is how I like to wear it). I got it for two bucks at Burger King one morning when I was buying breakfast for my mom and myself. I hadn't worn a watch for a number of years, even though I've always loved watches, and this one is not only fun to look at - when it's not losing time - but I always get positive comments about it, even from strangers. I had wanted the SpongeBob watch, because it's blue and blue is my most favoritist color of all, but that's not the watch they had that week. Still, the Patrick watch is a pretty darned fun one.
And today I discovered two new mugs at work. The SisterCompany reps don't know where they came from and my SC counterpart was out today, so I didn't get a chance to ask her, but I've decided to appropriate one for use at work (I have many lovely mugs at home, but they all are ones I care about too much to risk bringing to work). It's plain white with the word "Confident" on one side and "Serenity" on the other in black. Very simple, very nice (no pictures available, unfortunately). Better yet, the bottom is slightly wider than the top, no doubt for added stability. Sort of like me.
It's the little things in life that make a person smile...
