Oldie but a Goodie: Nail Salon Interpretation by Anjelah Johnson

Thanks to my girlfriends for sharing this with me a while ago.  Sometimes you can't help but laugh at different cultural interpretations.  It's all meant in good humor.

I wonder how many men will attend the Grand Opening.  Hey, that's a valid question!

Penguin-ing (Pronounced: panguh-winning)

For those of you who know me (well), you know that I LOVE penguins.  I've been trying to figure out how to add penguins to my blog without losing readers--sooo I added a widget on the side with a "pet" penguin named Pete.  I happened to come across this cute little widget while errr, umm, NOT searching for one on the internet.  This little guy follows your cursor and when you click on him he flaps around.  If you click on him enough, he falls off the ice block.  Also, if you click on "more" it feeds him fish.  


Please feel free to make fun of me--or don't.  In my opinion, I think everyone has their quirks and weird obsessions.  I just happen to showcase mine.  And that my friends is for your entertainment and/or my need to overshare.
Have fun with Penguin Pete.  I can't wait to go pet penguins at Newport Aquarium sometime in the near future.  Crossing another one off of my 30 before 30 list! :)


**Update 10/11/11: I got to pet a penguin at my cousin's wedding reception (held at Newport Aquarium).  It wasn't as fluffy as the one above, but it was still adorable!

Green Bean the Penguin and I...Oh and some em-effer guy making sure no one tried to steal the penguin.  Now who in their right mind would try to do that? ;)

Cardigans and Moccasins (Who do you think you are?)

I Pray for you...

I think it's moderately hilarious when you go out and certain people pretend like they are better than you.  Being that I'm not an insecure person, I just laugh that they care that much about what I think about them.  Even if they ARE better than me at something or another, does life really have to be a contest?  What makes one person happy might not make another person happy, so how is it that these people define themselves as "better"?

This past weekend, my girlfriends and I were out having a blast without a care in the world.  We were just enjoying each other's company when two girls (one in whom I'm familiar with) were apparently making fun of us.  We didn't even notice until one of our mutual guy friends came over to apologize to us.  We just said to him, "we didn't even notice, but thanks for apologizing.  You weren't even the one doing it."  He's a good guy and I guess felt bad that these girls were being catty.  Quite honestly, we were having so much fun that we didn't even care.  We all know that we are successful, intelligent, cute girls.  There aren't just two sides: Arrogant or Insecure.  You can be confident without being arrogant.  

Anyway, we later joked about the insecure catty girls.  One of my girlfriends said to us later, "How can they even make fun of us? The guy they were with was wearing a cardigan with moccasins."  Yes, it was also a rather snide comment, but it was made just amongst us friends in a silly way.  It was an unexpected comment so we were on the floor laughing.  I hope those catty girls will mature someday into confident young women. 

In the mean time...I'll keep going on happily in my life.  Thanks for the blog material.
