Luckily, mine is pretty gosh darned good. I mean, I know I'm not perfect or anything, I have weaknesses, but I try my best. And I've learned (mostly) how to take compliments. Sure, sometimes they make me blush or I'm not sure if I deserve the praise, but I smile and say a sincere "thank you"
I feel bad for people who don't have this, and they also drive me a little bit crazy. At this point I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but I will give you an exact example of what I mean.
A sample of a real exchange with an anonymous person.
Me: You're an amazing person
Them : *shakes head*
Me: *reproachful glare*
Them: *shakes head*
Me: Seriously.
Them: I just don't think I am...
Me: Well I do.
Which finally got a smile and a thank you out of them.
anyways, I know it can be hard to accept compliments and to believe in yourself but
YOU'RE AMAZING
much love :)

Mmmmm...
Hey ladies!
I realize I haven’t been on here for a while so I thought I’d better get myself back into gear.
As I posted in as my Facebook status yesterday, I really love the smell of rain and the roar of a good thunderstorm. You know what other smells I really love? No? Well you’re about to find out!
Things that smell good:
My tea cupboard (mostly Earl Grey and marshmallows)
Old books
Bacon
Freshly baked cookies
Ink from a freshly written page
Dawn’s wrists
Laundry straight from the dryer
Woodwork shops
Leather jackets
Your house when you’ve just come home after a long absence
New cars
Ocean breezes
Fresh air in the early hours of the morning
Shower steam after a workout
Chicken noodle soup (when you can actually smell it)
Newly cut grass
Lily of the Valley
Antonio Banderas
I hope you enjoyed that trip down memory lane as much as I did. Even more trips and even more new memories are to come with birthday week approaching fast.
Much love ladies,
Dina
Scared of Snakes, Startled by Squirrels
"well aren't you sophisticeeep! squirrel!"
A real quotation said by the lovely Valerie.
Hey Ladies! so I just thought I'd share some thoughts!
It's spring! quickly turning to summer! The sun is shining and burned me a little bit today. Silly me! Time to break out the sunscreen! SPF people, it's your new best friend!
Today I hung out with Valerie - as you probably figured out already. I went over to her place and was greeted enthusiastically by her mom. :) We had to look at all the photos from last friday. There are even MORE than what we've seen! crazy beans eh? also her mom has all this insight and comments on the photos.
* CHEESE WARNING *
in one of the photos of the Ginger and I we're looking at each other and smiling. I jokingly commented " it looks like he actually likes me" to which V's mom said " Look at him, you can't fake a look like that "
D'awwww
*end of cheese*
anyways after looking at photos we decided it was a postivly GORGEOUS day so we went for a walk in the park! we sat on some rocks by the stream (with my feet in the water, go figure) and talked. It was fun to just chill.Also I learned something about Valerie today! (which apparently Dina already knew. Geez. way to show me up :P )
We're walking along the path and I'm chattering away when I hear a noise.. not a meep, just the sounds of movement, like a rustle... and I look over to see Valerie teetering on one foot with her other foot and arms pulled close to her body.
D: ..?
V: Snake.
D: What?
V: there's a snake!
D: where?
V: There.
D: I don't see it.
V: *points*
D: dude, it's a garter snake.
V: It's still a snake!
D: it's teeny!
V: I don't like snakes
D: want me to pick it up?
V: NO!
the snake left and we kept walking but I didn't let it go easily.
D: so... why are you afraid of snakes?
V: It could bite me!
D: Garter snakes don't bite people, they run away.
V: but it's scaly and slithery
D: *Facepalm*
anyways that was funny :P also later we were walking and I think we were talking about chivalry. Anyways I did or said something to which Valerie responded with " aren't you sophisticeeeep!" ( yes, the transition was really that good) all because of a squirrel. It startled her apparently :P
anyways it was a good day!
starting planning for b-day week. I think we're all in for laser tag, anyone also wanna have a picnic? like in sundresses sitting in a field blowing bubbles and chatting and stuff???
love you all!
