My hotel has a small collection of chairs for little people in the lobby. I find this quite amusing. My managers claim they are for “children” but I think they are only saying that to avoid some kind of discrimination case.
I just can’t wait for Peter Dinklage or Verne Troyer to come stay here!
For me, there’s something about seeing the ocean everyday that makes me feel just a little more peace in my life. I think there’s a little magic in it.
What’s something you see everyday that always makes you smile?
I said at the beginning of the year that I was going to take more pictures. One of my reasons for doing this was that I really, really, REALLY want a digital SLR. But if I am completely honest with myself, I don’t need one at all. I’m not going to become a photographer, and the point-and-shoot I have currently takes some pretty decent photos for a point-and-shoot. And I don’t even take pictures all that often, which is why I want to take more– to justify getting a digital SLR.
If I’ve even more honest with myself, I can’t really afford one. So instead of splurging, I’ve set up a savings account just for a camera, with an automatic bi-weekly transfer of money from my checking. I’ve just started it, and I’m on track to have saved up enough for a camera in… one year. Maybe by then I will have entirely convinced myself that I don’t need one and use the money on something more practical.
Alright, I have to go drop $250 now to register for the GMAT. *cries*
I have been afraid of dogs since before I can remember. Whenever I would see one I would panic and run away. In recent years I have tamed this fear to a point where I don’t react to dogs, but inside I am still afraid.
I am overcoming this fear with the help of a little dog named Smeagol (yes, named after Lord of the Rings!). I’ve taken Smeagol for walks, fed him, lounged, played… and oh my gosh I am interacting with a DOG! Smeagol has become my little buddy. We even watch TV together.
This afternoon I turned on the television and The Real Housewives of Orange County was on. Smeagol immediately barked at the screen, as if to say “come on Emma, watch something of substance.” I know, Smeagol. I know!
I like this week so far. Here’s why:
1. It started off with a nice dinner for my boyfriend’s birthday.
2. I renewed my gym membership – so doing good things for myself…
3. A quote from me was featured on I Will Teach You To Be Rich. SO EXCITING!
4. I had ample opportunities to wear my new boots that Santa brought me.
5. And, we’re having a 40 degree heat-wave on the island.
GOOD TIMES!
