Valentines Day- Part 2

On the 15th Sammy and I went out ourselves for a date. I had so much fun shopping for him this year. Instead of my usual gift of food, I went clothes shopping! I hit up the clearance section at Target and had a blast. I bought Sammy an entire outfit. A nice plaid shirt (that turns out had a huge rip in it so we need to return it.) An undershirt with Mr. Rogers on it about cardigans. A belt. Some long johns to count as pants. With all this below zero weather lately, he needs them! I also found a tie with ducks on it, socks with tacos on them, some awesome striped socks, and some man panties ;) Hahaha I've always wanted to buy him underwear just for the heck of it and it went with my entire outfit theme. I had so much fun shopping in the mens section for Sammy, I can only imagine what it's like to pick out outfits for babies later on :)

I wrapped all of Sammy's presents in a Victoria's Secret bag, he was so confused when I handed it to him! Which made me even happier. :) I know I won't be able to spoil him like this for much longer when we're on our own so it was a blast. I can't wait till we're married and I can just get little things like this every once in a while.

Sammy the sweetheart he is got me a new stuffed friend, flowers, and chocolate. My favorite things! But, it wasn't any stuffed friend, it was…
Grumpy Cat!!! I've had so much fun with her




 They also weren't just any chocolates, they were from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. They were so good. And gone very, very, quickly.

 Sammy always gets different flowers every year, and this was this years. They had a very Hawaiian feel to them and are still going strong. They're so beautiful!

We went out to dinner at Macaroni Grill. It was my first time there and I LOVED it! Such great food and bread and service. And coloring on the table was great fun. Then, we went to Target to see if it had a book that I absolutely needed to read because I'd started it at work that morning and had to know what happened. They didn't have it and I totally wanted to go to another store but, we had decided to see a movie and the world wasn't going to end if I didn't have the book right that minute. So, we headed over to the theater and saw. . . . FROZEN! It was so much fun and Sammy loved it. Rapunzel is still his favorite princess though, he thinks she's hot. (Because she reminds him of me he says;)) I'll take it! 
We discovered that Sammy is just like Olaf. He is ALWAYS asking, why. Why. So, I guess Olaf is now my favorite too because he reminds me of Sammy :) Now Sammy doesn't go eww every time I sing Let it Go because he has context behind it. I'm so glad that he'll watch Princess movies with me. : ) 
It was a great weekend :) So great, I didn't get any pictures of the two of us together.

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 ...
