Inventions that Make my Every Day Life Better


In typical me fashion some odd events have led to this post. To recap-- following the ever exciting birthday of my blog I was hit by a bout of voicelessness for three days. It was a rather wonderful time as I compared myself to a rusty door, a bull frog, and an old man. These three days lead to the discovery of two inventions that make my every day life better.

1) French Onion Soup: It's warm, it's yummy, it soothes the vocal cords like nothing else can. Please note that I don't like onions. I don't eat them. I even have the audacity to ask them to be removed from things I order in restaurants unless they are in French Onion Soup. When I get a bowl, I just eat the broth, the cheese, and the bread. I smoosh the onions into the bottom of the bowl because they make the soup taste good but the onions as onions taste icky.

2) Tour Guides in Training: The fact that I had one of these people with me as I attempted to give visit day tours on Monday (the middle day in my voicelessness) made my every day life better. When my voice decided to completely give out he was there with his knowledge and skill to make the tour happen. I send my thanks to Lucas.

The rest of the week went alone reasonably well. My voice returned on Wednesday and I celebrated by talking all day. Zoe and I went shopping Thursday and then on Saturday, Zoe took Adele and me out to dinner as her Christmas present to the both of us. It was a good time. But out experience at the restaurant has led me to believe in another invention.

3) Silverware: When my salad arrived I was excited because it was a salad and I was hungry. But I had no silverware. I proceeded to eat without it. Silverware is definitely helpful when eating a salad. Thank goodness out waiter brought us some before Zoe's pasta arrived. Face down in a bowl of noodles would have been very uncomfortable.

Those are three inventions that make my every day life better. Try them out sometime and see they don't make your every day life even better.
P.S How many times do you think I can use the title, inventions that make my every day life even better, in this post?

Have a good one.

Pictures: One- is at our zoo adventure. If had one of those it would totally make my everyday life even better. Two- It is a bridge. Those make my everyday life even better. Three- Zoe and Adele, they make my everyday life even better. Four- Me, eating a salad.

Yay I'm a useful invention!! And I agree, thank goodness for silverware, silverware and cameras to document such things like eating salad with you face... and pretending to take pictures when your goal is a group of people behind you.

As far as taking pictures of nice looking guys without their knowing I have know idea what you are talking about :}

It's called a rickshaw! Oh goodness, I totally forgot what they were called and so my sentence is so awkward.

Thanks!
