The Little Joys

Found simple things getting me really excited today.  It was fun to pick up the mini-fridge to bring into the office.  But then, I got to pick up the Escape Hybrid to take home.  Was intrigued by the things that weren't important enough for me to notice before buying, but made me smile when I found them while driving it around today.

1st:  I didn't know this particular model was equipped with the navigation system and the upgraded cd changer.

2nd:  I didn't know that they even put normal power outlets in cars.  This one has the traditional circle outlets (like cigarette lighter style), but also has one in the front that is permanently converted to a power outlet.  Means our converters can just stay with the Corolla.

The last little thing that made me happy was in playing a game of pictionary.  We were playing a version that has lots of options of ways you may be inhibited while drawing (draw with off hand, draw without picking up pencil, draw 2 items in the allotted time, draw with eyes closed, etc.) and it was my turn to draw for my team.  The thing I had to draw was:  Davy Crockett, and had to do so with my eyes closed.

My team actually getting this correct was one of the significant accomplishments of my day.  Sometimes it is just the little joys that make life better.
