Okay so I mentioned last time that today was a work day and, ugh, it was so long for such a short shift. Totally wiped me out, being that this blog will probably be shorter than my other ones. There are two things I feel like mentioning though; 1) My pinecone moment and 2) Present Mishap.
I'll start with the Present Mishap because it's the easiest to explain. I mentioned how I order my best friend Kay her favourite online book in printed form. Well I guess I should have double checked the dimensions instead of going with the cheapest size because they came in today and they are kinda of too big. I wanted them to be normal novel size so it would be easier and more convenient for her to read them at work and on the go, but... they are the size of a textbook; 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Not exactly the easiest to work with. I'm sure she will still love it, but it's kinda disappointing. Not too mention one of the chapter pages ended up starting at the bottom of a page instead on its own (which I know is gonna bug her as much as it bugs me). I suppose it's the thought that counts anyway lol.
Lets see if I can explain what I mean by Pinecone Moment, since I can't find the picture that would clearly define what I mean. I often lose my words and so I have a set of descriptions and hand-gestures that I use to try and convey the word I've forgotten, but they are kinda confusing. My best friend Kay understands what I mean, it's almost like we read each others mind sometimes (Which is other story, kinda funny you should remind me to tell you another time). About a year ago I found this picture that goes something like this;
me: Whats those egg shaped things that grow on trees?
me: The only word coming to mind is cucumbers
Kay: You mean pinecones?
me: Yes! Pinecones!
(If I can find the photo I'll update it into the post for you guys)
Well that kinda happened to me today at work, only Kay wasn't there to explain what I was trying to say so I stood there making hand-gestures. I was looking for the word onion but what came out was - those red circle things that sting and taste good fried, but you have to cut first. It was kinda embarrassing but the person didn't seem to think anything bad of me, they seemed rather amused.
Well that pretty much sums up my day. A tiring five hour shift with a small pinecone moment, proceeded by receiving a disappointing gift surprise. Now I'm gonna go and watch a movie or two before bed.
Good Night Lovelies
