The Very Little Things

It doesn't take much to amuse me. Here are some of the "little things" that have brought a smile to my face lately.

Being able to roll down all the windows and open the sunroof.

Discovering that a baking soda and water solution gets rid of powdery mildew, which was plaguing my rosemary. (Thank you, Mrs. Odell.)

Gel inserts for my running shoes. What's more, they came in a pink be-flowered package.

Finding a gorgeous marble chessboard in the stuff Jared hauled from a recent job-- and putting it in my kitchen to roll out pastry.

Being called "Mrs."

Those little scraper things that come with Pampered Chef stoneware. Why did I never realize their amazingness before? They work perfectly not only for pizza stones and muffin tins, but any time you want to avoid getting sticky junk all over your sponge: i.e. flour-encrusted rolling pins, doughy mixer blades, and horribly burnt pots (ohh, that's another story altogether).
