the simple things in life keep me sane.

One of the greatest joys in my life are those simple little surprises.  The kind of surprises that brighten your day, and are just so monumental that you HAVE to tell someone about it right away.

I had one of these moments last week, and I just thought about it, so I figured I would share it with all of you.

I was at Burger King with my good friend Niko. We were enjoying a delicious lunch in that fine establishment. We both tried the new steakburgers they introduced a few weeks ago. I rather enjoyed it, no lie.

Anyways. I was eating my fries, so I just decided to pick up the fry container (which if you haven’t noticed, was designed by the friendly fry-pod engineers at Burger King to fit right into your cupholder… check the box, its there!) and dump them onto my tray. When I did this, I noticed something out of place on my tray. I had my half eaten steakburger, my drink, my fries, and a rogue onion ring that had caught a ride in the fry-pod. I hadn’t ordered any onion rings, so the fact that there was one on my tray startled me. I looked up to make sure none of the Burger King employees had caught wind of the fact that I had received a little treat with my meal. They hadn’t, so I quickly ate it before they extracted that rogue onion ring from my possession.

My day was brighter after that experience. What brightens your day?
