Oh English

Oh English, how grateful I am that I speakest thou,
And have a vast vocabulary of words to show,
how I am feeling.
If only I had time to learn them all,
and master using them correctly.

We were given a list of words an adequate writer doesn't use today in Brit Lit and I was embarrassed at how many of those words sneak their way into my vocabulary. I'm going to get them out of my language. Like nail chewing and chocolate consumption, they're a habit so it might take some time to break it. I'm literally staring at my keyboard right now going, oh golly which words can I type. Instead of a steady rhythm of words being brought to life it's choppy and non soothing.

Pictures of the day:



HE'S HOLDING CHOCOLATE!
The first is the bestby's brand. He's been drawing it on my arm from before we were dating and I love it. It was his cool way of flirting. I remember I came home one day and my dad saw it and was like who drew that and I was like Sammy and he was like tell her to get some paper and I was like Sammy's a guy and he was like oh. And then we were dating the next week :)

And the second is a heart I drew on the bestby's head. I thought it was cool!

Today we sat outside and took turns reading The Giver in the sun. I haven't read that book since the 5th grade and I forgot how amazing it is and weird. I can't wait to keep reading it in the sunshine! That's the best way to read books.

Wuthering Heights is frustrating me. Impending doom is coming but it's taking it's sweet time getting there! Emily Bronte- you are an amazing writer and I'm glad that you were able to reveal who you really were so you can get credit. I wish you'd written more novels. Sigh. The newest film version just won an award in Italy and I cannot wait until it finally makes it's way to America so I can see it!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
