It started early in the morning when I got up early enough to take a shower and wash my hair. It happens too often that I can't do that on mondays. I usually crawl out of bed late and grumpy.
I actually made it to university. Another fantastic thing. I think most of you know that I'm not a big fan of going to university. I had Dutch (and after that History of the Netherlands...but I skipped that one...I haven't been there since...um...I've never been there) and we got back our mid-term exam.
And I got 80 freaking points out of 100!!!
So 80 points are amazing (our teacher said everything above 70 points is really good). Take that, university! (I have a bunch of things I would like to tell university right now, but this would contain a lot of cussing...so please just imagine it...or skip it and continue reading).
Instead I kinda went shopping. And I ran around in my new shoes. I love them!
I love them. They are so red and comfy and I can walk with them without looking drunk (I'm not used to heels and I tend to tumble even with flats...yup, balance is not my strength).
And then I found this book:
The day I swapped my Dad for two goldfish - Neil Gaiman (words) and Dave McKean (pictures)
I always wanted to have a book by Neil Gaiman. I heard so much about him. Now I own a picture book by him. And guess what. I got it for ONE Euro! One instead of 19,95. WIN!
I already love this book. It's not the best picture book I know but the story is funny and I laughed a lot and look at the illustrations. Amazing!
This was my day.
I like it when small things make me happy. :)
Ps: Thanks again for your comments on my post about the unfollowing. You guys are awesome :)
Awesome! :D Good for you! Loooove those shoes! :D No, I don't think your posts are too long at all. I like them. ;)
ReplyDeleteI <3 your shoes! I love espadrilles, especially high- heeled ones. I like heels, but I don't wear them that often. I want to try
ReplyDeleteout stilettos... just to know what it feels like wearing them. Oooh, I'm blabbing.
Neil Gaiman! Me, too. I've heard a lot about him, but his books here are pretty pricey. :/
Nope. Your posts aren't too long. And even if they're long, that's totally fine. I like long posts! :D
Small things are the best :) They're the ones that can make you feel happy throughout the day and sustain you for a while. I'm loving your blog.

Yay! Sounds like you had a really, really great Monday. Do you have a particular happy dance? You could share it with us one Wednesday! ;) And, no, I don't think your posts are too long. I really enjoy them, all of them, short or long. :)
ReplyDeleteShaynie: Yup, this day was really good for me. Good, long posts don't seem to be bad ;)
ReplyDeleteRiaRamona: Thanks! :) Neil Gaiman's book are not that expensive here, but they are hard to get in bookstores. I could order them from Amazon, but I prefer bookstore shopping. I was excited when I found the picture book on sale for 1€. Awesome!
Stephanie: Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Glad to here that you like my blog :)
Hope: No, sadly not. I don't have a particular happy dance. :/ Good to know that long posts aren't a problem. Most of the time I don't plan posts or think a lot before I write them (every time I tried that it turned out bad or I never finished what I wanted to post). I sit down, write what's on my mind, add some pictures (when needed), read it again to check the spelling and then I publish it. My way of blogging ;)
