"Chuckles the Banana" is an amalgamation of two nicknames that I have assumed over the years. I think it does a fantastic job of capturing the inner child in me that I hope to hold onto forever. This blog is an attempt to share my adventures with you, whether through my travels, through art, or through contemplative thought on various and random topics. I hope that I can be an inspiration to you in some way, but if I don't succeed in that, perhaps I can at least provide a bit of entertainment.

What 5' 2" Gets You
We ran out of creamer at the office today, and I knew I would be needing a second cup of coffee in the afternoon, so I decided to swing by the grocery store during my lunch break and pick some up. Generally, we get the regular creamer. But not today. I walked to the refrigerator section of the store and found what I was looking for. It was on the top shelf, and there were only two left, which means they were all the way in the back. Despite standing on my tip toes in my 2 inch heels, there was no way I was going to reach the back. I very briefly considered climbing onto the first shelf for a boost, but came to my senses and realized that I'm 23 years old and really shouldn't be doing things like that anymore. Then I glanced around to see if there were any tall shoppers around who would be willing to help a shorty out, but there was no one in sight. So I grabbed the fat-free version, which was one shelf lower and within my reach. No big deal, and it's clearly the healthier option. I just found it interesting that my options were automatically limited due to my height.
