Catch Up

On Friday, I got to hang out with Britton! It was so exciting since she's living in Idaho right now.
We went and visited Britton's work first which was funny. All her co workers were teasing her relentlessly. Then we headed over to the mall for some Which Wich. That is my all time favorite sandwich place ever so I was super excited! It was beautiful outside so we got to eat out in the sun as well.

Then, we headed over to Victoria's Secret because I had a coupon! Coupons are leegit, and I've never been there with Britton so that was lots of fun! Then we hit up Bath and Body Works. That store is our weakness. Every time we've gone their over the years, I've always left with new lotions. This time, I left with lotion AND candles. It was so fun losing our sense of smell! 

Last we went to Charming Charlies. So many pretty things to touch! Britton helped me pick out a pretty hair pin for the wedding, maybe, and explained those hair bow things to me haha! In between all of that we got in so much talking, laughing, and relief. It's always nice to know that you're not the only one who feels a certain way! 

On Saturday at work, I was so bored. So super bored. And then, out of nowhere walked in Kelsey and her boyfriend. It was such a pleasant surprise since they live a good hour and a half away from where I work. We had the chance to catch up and I got to talk with her boyfriend some more. They're so cute and I'm glad he makes her so happy. And it was good to hear that things are good for her. So happy.

I love catching up with my lovely friends. Its the little things that really make all the difference when you don't get to see someone very often.

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 ...
