Best part about having worked retail for a year?
When I pack my clothes, I fold them like a pro.
Happy to be proved wrong...
Alright, so Mr. Weatherman was right this time.
And it’s really alright with me…MERRY WHITE CHRISTMAS :)
You can't fool me, Mr. Weatherman
Sometimes I really wonder if the weatherman is simply getting paid to say that it’s going to snow tomorrow. Just to get people excited.
Especially considering the fact that it’s uncommonly sunny and warm outside right now, yet the forecast shows this:
I’m onto your little scheme, Mr. Weatherman. It all seems pretty far fetched too me.
Although a White Christmas would be...
This Christmas season has taught me...
THAT:
1. Spray-on wrapping paper should be invented. Because the other option is far too complicated. 2. Everything should be received in a package via the postal system. Because seeing the mailman come up the driveway and deliver a mysterious package is simply thrilling. Forget stores, I want everything, even my weekly groceries, delivered in a brown package. Straight to my door. 3. Houses...

I love the world coated in white. It freezes all existence. No cars, no people, no noise. Simplicity.
This simplistic, overcast world makes the perfect landscape for thinking and walking. Being home after your first semester at college also makes the perfect landscape for thinking and walking. So today, I did some thinking and walking. I walked the same route I walked nearly every day when I...

What I would do without kids, I just don't know.
When you’ve been taking care of a child from infancy, it means that you’ve been a part of their life for as long as they can remember. It means that you go back as far as their first memories do. And after 4 years of being a part of a child’s life like that, it’s hard to explain college. All they know, is it’s where Hopie goes. It’s as foreign to them as the North Pole. And I’m just...

I Just Need a Good Shaking
Sometimes, when a little kid starts going crazy, the parent has to just grab them by the shoulders and give them a good shake. The little kid thinks that’s pretty funny and laughs.

Exhaustion
I’m tired of being the strong one.
.
.
I’m sick of trying fighting striving. For once, I want to not care. For once, I want to just blend into the crowd. But strength is a hard thing to give up, especially when you’re a control freak, over-achieving dreamer that can’t handle monotony, mediocrity, or anything that resembles settling for something less than the...
I feel.
Today I walked home from class with my eyes mostly closed, just so I could feel.
And in those 15 minutes of walking with my eyes mostly closed and my remaining senses wide open, I learned something new thing about myself.
I feel, deeply.
I get very sad, very mad, and very glad, all very deeply. I cry very easily. As in, all the time. But I laugh very easily too.
When I whine, I do it loudly....
