I have this little super awesome note book I got for hella cheap (like 2 bucks I think) at Pier One during Christmas a few years ago.
I held on to it for a period of time before coming up with a perfect use for it: a quote book. The little forget me not elephant is just too cute and perfect for this purpose!
You see, I have the pleasure of being surrounded by some pretty hilarious people. You won't believe some of the words that come out of the mouths of my friends. I decided instead of reminiscing being the only way to remember them, I'd just log them. I also log quotes I find pertinent to my current state of mind and such, like this one:
Here's some of my fave's from the past 6 years gone by...
*names have been sorta changed to protect the guilty*
*names have been sorta changed to protect the guilty*
It all started with this one. We were sitting around the dining room table (partying, of course) and someone knocked at the front door. My confused girlfriend got up and answered it but seemed really nervous. She laughed after she let our (new) friend in and when we asked her about why she had been so nervous she replied,
"The only people who use the front door are people who don't know us that well.
Like family."
Like family."
