time to get your crayons and your pencils
I love when small, silly things can make you happy. While at the National Building Museum a few weeks ago I bought an architecture coloring book. Yesterday all I wanted was to color for a few minutes before heading out for the evening but I could not find my colored pencils (or "pencil crayons," as they are so randomly called in Canada). And this coloring book was the kind in which the lines are way too close together to use crayons. After searching every conceivable location twice - living room, dining room, basement craft supply stash - I finally found them neatly stored in a plastic box with other coloring equipment. Note to self: when making clever and useful storage arrangements, remember them.
