Simple Joys Of Work

I got a new stapler! It is chrome, and is heavy enough to be a weapon. My Chinese mermaid fairy likes it very much.


Also, a box arrived in the mail, from Taiwan.


Boxes from Taiwan are all well and good, but according to the customs form, this one contained wedding cake.


I was a little skeptical, but in fact, there really was cake inside, special Taiwanese wedding cake.


It got eaten before I could take its picture, but truly, there was cake in that sweet pink box.

Do you have any small joys to share?

  1. Let me ponder the small joys---I guess I am still seeing my own bed as a small joy after so much time on the road this summer--but I have to ask: why did you get wedding cake in a lovely pink box at work?

  2. Certainly not an international cake. Pout.

    I have a bajillion small joys but my brain is too addled right now to think about them. Okay, how about this small joy: There is a small brown wild bunny rabbit in my back yard. That is definitely a small joy.

  4. Yes: I put together a photo collage of our summer via Shutterfly that I quite like.

    Pretty cake box.

  5. As one character says in the movie Buckaroo Banzai "hey man, what's in the big pink box?" (It looked like a cake box, but it had a recording playback device inside)

  6. I actually went to a wedding in Taiwan! I have no memory of the cake, sadly.

    Small joy: Watching my daughter land an axel (even if she was in the harness) and finishing almost all the back-to-school shopping.
