Which is not to say there is no joy in my life. Quite the opposite. I just don't think I take the time to appreciate it, because I'm too preoccupied with what the next chore on the list is. It's not good. Sure, this is probably the most complicated and responsibility-laden portion of my life so far, but there's lots of positive stuff to appreciate. So I've decided to stop and smell the proverbial roses - to start this occasional series called "project: small joys." This isn't about the major, obvious joys - this is about the little things that make your day brighter. That you look forward to. That put a smile on your face.
And with that, my first small joy is Starbucks' Caramel Frappuccino Light. I have found an excuse to have one of these every day this week. I'm a wee bit obsessed. I also found myself getting pissed when the girl forgot to drizzle the caramel on the one I had on Wednesday - or was it Tuesday? Oh, it's so delicious and happy-making. Frappuccinos are one of the things that define summer for me - and summer is definitely here, what with the 90+ degree weather we've had for the past week.
Silly, I know. But it's a small joy. What's yours?

Good for you for trying this and trying to look for the joy! (That reads a bit condescending, but know that I mean it with all sincerity.)
I have never tried a Frappuccino before, now I think I might have to.
I indulged in one of my small joys this afternoon. It's also from Starbucks, but it's just a big, giant - I mean Venti - vanilla iced coffee. So sweet, so vanilla-y, so worth the Starbucks price.
