The Long and Short of It


My last few posts have been short and sweet because I try not to put too much on here. I need some air of mystery; writing everything on here would just make it too easy.  I still want people to have a reason to talk to me.  But it’s impossible to talk to everyone, especially when all my best friends are currently in Europe.  They’re coming home soon though and I could not be more excited! I cannot wait to attack them with hugs and catch up over some good old American food.  This has been a long week and I can barely believe it’s already May ninth. Where is the time going I ask you?! But I got yellow trained at work, which now means I get to handle more animals. Three banded armadillos are one of my new favorite animals. They are so fantastic.  Sugar gliders-not so much.  My love of the Kentucky Derby was ruined at work the other day when I was enlightened to the horrible way the horses are treated.  I still love the event; I just wish people cared more about animal welfare. It’s awful the way people view ethics when large sums of money become involved.  And Poe the raven flirts with my constantly, he's my new boyfriend.  Besides that, do you remember in this post the mermaid-esque nails I did?  I have yet to upload my nail make-up post, but you will see when I do that I only ever put pinks, reds, oranges, and purples on my nails. Any shade in those color ranges I go for; it’s just what I like. However, that blue color on my nails which was Essie’s Trophy Wife kept catching my eye every time I saw it in the stores and for weeks I was just like “Emma, buy the nail polish already”. And like come on with a name like that how can you not? Trophy Wife? That’s so perfect.  But then I borrowed my roommate’s nail polishes and she had it! So I snatched that right on up along with her Essie luxe effects.  Now that I know that I really do like it I will probably have to actually buy it for myself.  Also, I have been trying to figure out how to do this one special hairstyle for months and I finally figured out how to do it and what it’s being called. So I blew out my hair and that is my project for tomorrow. Once I perfect it I’ll post a picture :)  I finally got most of my stuff all organized in my apartment.  Although I have been trying to hang up my Arsenal scarf for weeks and haven’t figured out a way to make it look good yet. My postcard collection isn’t going up yet either. I think that’ll just have to wait until next fall when I have my new apartment.  Speaking of things that have to do with my time abroad, my favorite British person Tom, my RLS from London, is officially visiting this summer for two weeks! I am so excited to show him a good time in this lovely city and practice my Britishness for him.  It's also frappuccino happy hour at Starbucks this week which I plan on participating in tomorrow. That’s about all that’s going on with me right now. Here are some things that are currently inspiring me. Remember, at the moment I’m planning a bridal shower, working at a zoo, in a chem lab, baking a lot, and being myself. So as usual, the things that inspire me are far and wide.
