Best. Day. Ever. :)

Today was officially the best day ever. At least this week. It all started at 5:00 this morning. I looked at the clock and was like HA! Jokes on you! I get to sleep! Then at six my sis was the one getting her head scratched to wake up! Not me! HA! More sleep. Around 7:20ish I got up though. I know that sounds ridiculously early but the sun was here today and I wasn't going to sleep it away. Breakfast consisted of dinosaur oatmeal and cookies. Then I ran around the house singing the chorus of Ironic at the top of my lungs. (I only know the chorus and the ten thousand spoons line. Which is the best line.) Then the bestby came over! And we made pizza! Out of biscuits!


Big muscles.



It's Done!
No words can describe how absolutely delicious this pizza is.


Yeah. It was some pretty awesome pizza that didn't take long to make! Definitely adding that to the list of things I can make quickly for college! So far that list comprises of Ramen, cheese sandwiches, pasta, tacos, and anything involving the microwave.

It's hard to admit this, but sometimes, sometimes, Ginger annoys me. Gasp! There, I said it! But today she was being the cutest dog ever! She got a piece of shredded cheese stuck on her foot and she was hopping around holding her foot up cause she didn't want to squish the cheese but she still wanted to eat it.

How can you resist that?!

















Playing with empty treat bag


























Unfortunately, we had to go to school at twelve. But it wasn't that bad because it was the three easiest classes of the day!
And I got to wear flip flops!
Plus first hour the bestby and me are student assistants and we didn't have to do anything! Ms. Keigan gave us a magazine to read! And she gave Sammy a yellow tomato and he thought it was so disgusting he spit tomato guts all over the table. I didn't have time to get a picture though. :( Sad day. But in the magazine we found the coolest ad ever!

The little words say drop in water and
watch your world change.
My world's changing. . . .


Mind Blown!
Crazy huh?! We let the paper dry to see what would happen and it changed back to completely white. That crazy ad = hours of fun. After we were done giggling and watering the paper, we went back to class and stared at the kids while they had a seminar. Can you say coolest teacher assistants eva?




















The rest of the wonderful day was spent out in the SUN! Sun, oh how I missed you! I don't think I've ever been so grateful for those warming rays. Sigh :) I'll try not to take such advantage of them again. It was so so wonderful! I even got a baby sunburn. Oh well, it was so worth it! 



I have big muscles










Here's your water mooku!
I'm so good at soccer they had to kick me off the team


I'm DaVinci!
Then the moon came out. And it got cold.
Man, it's fun taking a camera everywhere and
taking pictures!

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
