Hello!
I am so sorry it has been so long since I posted! My life is crazy, as I know all of yours are!! A lot has happened, but I am going to try to pic (pun intended) and choose what to share on this post. :)
My roommate’s birthday present to me was a pumpkin and a night of pumpkin carving. Thanks, roomie!
Meet Harry the Happy Pumpkin: (you may have to click on the pic to see it … not really sure what I did wrong or how to fix it, sorry!)
Despite the efforts of a certain trio, Harry still resides beside my front door.
On Halloween, my roommate and I threw a party!!
We had LOTS of food…
…And candy for all!! (even if we only had ONE trick-or-treater!)
Now time to get serious. I have had a few major thoughts in my head that I want to share. Warning: they are in no way connected to one another.
- There is a group of children in my neighborhood that like to play in the middle of the road. (yes, I know, their mothers obviously did not teach them not to play in the street…) They play a game that involves a ball and them standing in a circle. This group is comprised of about seven little boys, and one little girl. I have noticed a trend: every time I drive by, they pass the ball to the little girl, and she holds it like she is in charge until I have passed. I love the fact that this little girl leads this pack of boys.
- I am tired of men preaching to young girls about modesty without saying anything about the pervertedness of young men. Yes, I (obviously) believe that women should dress modestly, but I also believe that we should not be afraid to look nice. When women dress up, they should not feel like they are pieces of meat to be gawked at. It is one thing to appreciate a woman’s beauty, but it is another to treat her a certain way b/c she looks “hot.” Also, sometimes I am afraid to wear certain things, even if they are modest, because of perverted comments I have heard men say. This should not be the case, either. Ok, enough ranting
- Last, but most important to me: Last Links to Lee
As most of you know, I am graduating soon. very soon. like, 40 days soon. (ok, 40 days and 40 nights like my dad pointed out — just call me Noah) As I was talking to one of my very good friends today, she told me that I should make one of those chain things we used to make in grade school to count down the days until Christmas, only count down until graduation. I am pretty sure she was at least half-way joking, but I got creative and ran with it. Not only did I make one of these chains, but on each one, I wrote something to “do.” Some are simply things to pack, others are thank you letters to write, and still other links remind me to cherish a specific moment. I really think this will help me not take these last 40 days lightly. Here is a pic of my Last Links to Lee.
