Things That Make Me Happy

It’s often the little things that make me the happiest.

Take, for instance, my recent discovery of liquid fabric softener.

You might recall that I purchased two bottles for $.99 each last week.  Chicky had mentioned that she’s like to try some to help our clothes smell better.

For years, we’ve used fragrance-free detergent.  Prior to hanging clothes on the line, we used dryer sheets.

I was so out-of-the-know as far as liquid softener goes that I pulled out my washing machine’s manual to make sure I poured it in the right spot.

Can I just tell you how delightful that first whiff was as I hung the clothes?

Oh my goodness!

It was so amazingly fresh.

And when the breeze blew through the garage…

Oh my goodness!

Imagine my delight when I ran to Target today and found this deal…

On clearance...got it for $2.31 after a $1.25 coupon and another deal that was a money maker.

Oh yeah, Baby, now that’s what I’m talking about!

Another thing I like…

New windshield wiper blades!

Today, when I took my car in for an oil change, I was told that my wipers were streaking the windshield.

Ya think I didn’t know that?

I only travel almost every weekend.  Between the bugs and the rain, it’s a miracle I’ve been able to see out of that thing at all.

I payed the inflated price to have them replaced (I’m sure I could have done this much cheaper myself, but I was feeling lazy).

On the way home, I sort-of hoped for rain, and boy did God hear.  The skies opened up, and it poured!

But, I could see out the windshield, as my new wipers did their thing…soundlessly too.

Ahhh…the little things in life.

  1. Fabric softener *is* nice….but I’ve got to find a next-to-free deal before I’ll buy it. I’m happy enough with some nicely-scented detergent. No dryer sheets needed (have you seen those felted-wool dryer balls? Go google them, they’re so cool! Haven’t gotten around to making myself any yet, though). Great score, though!

    • I have seen those, but because we don’t use our dryer, they won’t work for me. BUT, maybe as a gift for someone? Hmmm…now you’ve got me thinking…
