Adina’s Cute & Perky Blog!

Washing clothes, unpacking bags, finding a place for souvenirs, and… opening my souvenir bag and laughing my booty off at a tiny green souvenir that made its way into my possession!

Some things we get. Some things we choose. Some things just make their way to us!

You see, I was at one of those little shops where you can buy keepsakes with your name on it. Trust me when I tell you, none of my names are ever on these things. Adina Yvette Zanolli. I am 0 for 3 there!

But I still like to look!

You never know!

OK, I DO know, but I still look anyway. Can’t tell you why. It’s like search, search, search, “Yep. Still not there.”

And then I go on.

But I knew the name of the man I love would be there. So I took off looking.

The first thing that caught my eye was a tiny little green flip flop that had his name, in rainbow letters no less, and “I” with a little red heart in front of it.

I mean to tell you it was tee-niny tiny, y’all! It made me go, “AWWWW”….

So I stopped what I was doing and sent him a text.

And guess what he replied? “AWWWWW”

So that made me giggle, and I guess I just never put it down.

The boys picked this place to get their Las Vegas souvenirs, so I had a little pile of odd things. Dice. Mugs. Cards. Things for their dad and step-mom. Things for cousins and grandmas.

And as the cashier started checking me out, I saw that little green shoe get scanned.

And it’s not even a key chain, but it has a little loop on it.

Maybe it’s a zipper puller thingy? I just don’t know!!!!

But I didn’t stop her, because it just wouldn’t feel right to say, “Unscan my love and put it back, please!”

So there I was last night unpacking.

And there was that little green shoe.

And again it made me smile and say, “AWW”

So I’ll put it somewhere silly, and it will remind me to send a silly text to him every now and then.

And in much the same way, I leave reminders for myself.

Gym shoes here, reminding me to run.

Gloves over there reminding me to lift.

Before picture – don’t eat so much!

After picture – eat some!!!!

Workout log – keep improving.

Simple items, but they are all really notes from Adina to Adina with love! They may not be little green flip flops, but they are certainly reminders that I love myself and am worth the effort.

Adina’s little green flip flop would say, “I HEART my healthy lifestyle”….in rainbow letters, of course! Because my life IS a rainbow!
