Valentines Day- Part 1

This year, we did Valentines day a little differently... Sammy and I spent it apart! And it was so much fun! Our dear friends from New York the Porters were in town, so, the guys had a guys night playing video games and us girls went out to dinner. I was a little nervous for Sammy to have his guys night because, what if he didn't fit in? What if they didn't like him? What if he felt awkward? He quickly got rid of those fears by saying, "Kylee, we're men. It's video games. It's going to be awesome." I guess hanging out with new guys isn't as scary as hanging out with new girls. Or maybe I'm just weird and very suspicious of everyone. That's probably it.

Anyways. We girls went to Rock Bottom. It was going to be about an hour wait, so we headed over to Victoria's Secret to shop for some more lingerie. It was so fun going in there finally able to look at the sexy things for myself instead of admiring them from afar when I worked there hehehe ;) When we got back to Rock Bottom, I'd taken too long and our table had been given away but a nice host sat us at another one. He was funny, and when he heard that I was 20 and getting married he was like, "How do I make sure this doesn't happen to me!" We got just appetizers for dinner and the food was sooo. Good. I don't know if I'll be able to eat another regular meal there because they were so good!

I knew the guys were having a good time because Sammy didn't text me once. Back at the house, I got to try out virtual reality goggles which made me feel so sick, and just talk. And had the best dessert ever. It was Cheesecake apple pie streusel something and ohhhh maaan. Such goodness! Sammy even liked it even though no one believed him.

It was such a great night with people that I admire and want to be like one day. I got to spend the day of love with women that I love so very much and who have always been there for me and taught me so much. And I got to see my love Sammy have fun with some guy friends for once and have the opportunity to nerd out. Driving home we couldn't stop grinning, it was a great, great day.

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 ...
