Happy 11.11.11

I hope you all took a  moment to appreciate that time. It only comes around once every, Century or so.

Did anything spectacular happen to me? No.

But I did start a slow clap in my Organic Chemistry class to prevent a few seconds of gaining higher education.

It snowed for the first time this week and the whole day I was stuck inside--selling clothes.

I love going to work at the mall though; it's like my own little Christmas.

Lights, music, wreaths, trees. They decorate wonderfully....a few weeks early.

This week, I was grateful for a lot of things.

Especially my friends, family, and health.

For patience, hard work, and SoftLips Chapstick.

Day 7: Something funny.

It's really hard to capture something funny in a picture.

The whole day went by and I was stressing out!

Then 2 things happened:

1. I found this on the ground at the library.

2. Emily Bateman loves showing me priceless YouTube videos. This day, she decided to

show me Sophia Grace--a child prodigy. In other words, 'the next Nikki Minaj'.

Day 8: Favorite Color.

My favorite color is red. Always has been, always will be.

I do not like wearing it, I think it makes me look awful.

But, maybe that's why I like it so much; I don't see it all that often.

I can't take credit for these photos, but I love the bright red.

Day 9: Inspiring Person.

In my case, inspiring people.

Yesterday, my dear, dear brother and sister-in-law, Kyle and Claire, came to visit me.

They are a newly married, busy, couple and I was honored to enjoy their company.

We went to Chili's and ColdStone (taking advantage of their wedding gifts).

It was so fantastic to talk, laugh, and eat with them.

They are some of the most cherished people in my life--they listen and care for me.

They take such care of their lives and each other, what an inspiration.

I admire you both, thank you for last night.

Day 10: Nature.

For people who don't know me, I have no car.

For people who do know me, I have no car.

Really, the fact that you know me or not doesn't affect my possession of a vehicle....

I walk to work most days and lately, I've really been grateful for it.

I bundle up, put in the headphones and start moving.

It gives me a lot of time to think; clear my head.

This is walking to Pac Sun.

I love little white houses and unraked lawns.

This is walking to the lab.

I love beautiful, warm, wintery mornings.

Day 11: Something old.

I have a lot of favorite memories.

I own a lot of favorite items.

I took forever to decide where I could even start with this one.

I took so many pictures for this day; they all ended up being deleted.

This is, easily, one of my favorite memories.
Matthew Spencer: This boy makes every second with him, something worth talking about.

He and I have had some great times. I am so grateful for them.

This was taken about a year ago; my first time coming to his house.

I bought the Jazz shirt that day to impress him.

"I'm like, the biggest Jazz fan. It's kind of funny."

Goodbye, 11/11/11.
See you next Century.
