Simple Pleasures.

I think its safe to say that I am easily pleased. So easily pleased that some may wonder how I could ever NOT be pleased. For example: I was having a bad day at work, when my boss came out of his office with a random box of little trinkets. He had been cleaning out his office (which let me tell you - it absolutely looked like a bomb went off in there) and said that whatever was in the box was up for grabs and whatever was left was getting thrown away. I walked away with this: 



WHO KNEW that a plastic banana with a smiley face giving me the title of "Top Banana" would make my week. Every time I look at that darn banana it puts a smile on my face. I told him to order more. Different fruits though please. Top Apple. Top Grape. Top Kiwi. Maybe even some exotic, out of the ordinary fruits, like Top Star Fruit. The list goes on and on! By the time I leave my job, I would like an entire fruit basket of plastic smiling fruit. 
Don't judge me.

Getting to the point - here is a list of some of my simplest pleasures: 

NUMBER 1 will always and forever be..... Target Trips
These trips, without a doubt, cure any kid of stress, annoyances, and bad days. Or it could just make a good day even better! My addiction to target could be considered a problem, and I'm okay with that. The first step is admitting you have a problem, and that is far as I will go with this addiction. 
To make this simple pleasure even better - finding a good item on sale at Target is like finding a $20 bill in a pair of pants you haven't worn in months. (I think that is a simple pleasure for anyone in their right mind.)

2 - Coffee.
I don't know of many things that really set my mood for the day like coffee does. It is the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning. We just have such have a special bond. So special, that I get headaches without it in my life. This is starting to sound like a list of my addictions.

Of course I had to get a cup large enough to feed my addiction.
Meet Harold, my large and in charge coffee mug.

3 - Narwhals.
You don't see these bad boys too often, so when they pop up somewhere, it seriously makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Only people that are very close to me know my true love for narwhals. I mean come on, its the unicorn of the sea!
"Bye Buddy, Good Luck finding your dad!"

4 - Mustaches.
Not necessarily mustaches on a guy. I'm talking more of.... things that i can put on my face so that i can say "i mustache you a question."
I get a huge kick out of that.


5- Last but not least, Getting messages like this from my best friend (who just happens to work just a few cubicles away from me) Mind you, this is not just any old cupcake. This is the crème de la crème coming from the cupcake gods:
