So I'm taking a break from watching "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (2011) so I thought I'd taken some tine to jot down a few notes. Not only here but in this lovely blue small journal with a Rudyard Kipling quote on it (along with a whale or two ((or one-and-a-half!) one of which is wearing a gold crown) And no I've never read kipling before but I liked it so I got it.
I got it a little while back mom let me spend $15 of her own money and get what I wanted within that limit at T.J. Maxx. The small little journal was one of them. I also got a lovely little box (which may have been a part of a stationary set at one point) with a Paris theme on it. Eiffel Towers, the words "Paris" and "France" and blue butterflies and (French?) stamps, white flowers and the Arc all over it, decorated in a lovely blue though the main background was off-white or ivory. It's quite lovely. I already had a nice jewelery box but I had to have the "Paris" box as I call it. (it goes nicely with the black and white picture I have of the Eiffel Tower I have in my room, which I amazingly found at Walmart a while back)
On the way out I snagged a bag of raw almonds to round out the $15 (I've been a bit of an almond nut lately, pun SO not intended!)
Anyway I use the journal for random things but nothing too personal it's more like....a series of lists of things that I like (and know will never change). Kind of like a hard bound version of any of my online journals, ha but not totally. I try not to write in it about day to day things just things I want to keep up with should I lose them online. Oh I really should invest in a flash drive sooner or later (I've been eyeing one of those ones with an Angry Bird on it , ha (I love the black bomb one heh, I have it a small stuffed toy as well. I couldn't resist. I call him Sirius oddly enough.
Speaking of "Sirius" My oldest brother had a huge black dog that look almost exactly how I imagine Sirius Black to be an Animagus (Sp?) in Harry Potter, ha.
