Little toy piano (with a hundred dollar bill).

I love life's little discoveries, like when you discover a hundred dollar bill in the front pocket of the jeans you borrowed from your brother, or when you discover that ligers really exist, or when you suddenly discover that the Greatest Song Ever was actually invented by Portland's own Jared Mees (the title is Little Tiny Piano). It has piano and trumpets and a great chorus and says that love is like a little toy piano, which totally makes sense.

Other things that make sense to me: making sure that paper and drawing supplies are always available and within reach.

If you have a book or art supplies or even a pen and paper, you will never truly be alone, and you never have to be bored. Also, if you keep a stack of books nearby (not pictured), you never know when you might find a hundred dollar bill inside. These things happen.
