Halloween

On the actual day of Halloween, I did a couples costume with my co-worker. The idea came from listening to Hamilton over and over. One of my favorite parts features George Washington and then boom. There it was. I could be George Washington for Monday! I texted my friends, and my other co-worker said she would be Abraham Lincoln. And that's how this happened. 
This wasn't my first time dressing as General Washington. I played him in fifth grade too. 
I was honestly shocked at how well I looked as George Washington. I put the flour in my hair and turned it grey, pulled it back, borrowed Sammy's shirt and jacked, and there it was. I was so proud of it.

However, all day at work next to Baberaham up there, and most people couldn't figure out who I was. One of our regulars who can't shut his mouth for five seconds didn't even say anything to me. It was a little disappointing, but I got over it. We had so many laughs and giggles throughout the day, and we looked pretty dang good together. It was a relatively chill day at work as well because all of the people were out celebrating. 

Sammy and I had a quiet night in because he had homework. We watched Leonaro DiCaprio's new documentary Before the Flood. It's free on Youtube and I highly recommend it. It was the perfect halloween movie because it's terrifying the things we are doing to our earth, and the fact that people keep denying it.

Overall, it was a pretty decent Halloween.

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:)
