done.

im over this 30 for 30

you should know me by now

and know my ramblings

but i love this

happy friday!

knitting

so listen

i get in these moods where i think it will be fun to be super crafty

last night i was in one of those moods

so i thought it would be fun to learn how to knit a scarf

i have been looking for a HUGE thick cozy warm fun big comfy scarf

you know since it is so cold right now in alabama

well i have heard many people that have learned using youtube

so i hit the road to hobby lobby

for the second time that day

and found the aisle

i picked out two colors

[i think i have a problem because lately i have to buy 2 of everything]

anyways

and some knitting supplies-whatever those are called

and headed home

i attempted to learn through this video

you will have to click this because i dont know how to do videos yet

come to find out i am not a good knitter-is that a word?

but it was fun

ill probably try again

also

im super crunk about going to see this

tonight

get pumped up!

day twenty: nicknames

so lets begin

bird legs

queenie

big shaf

ames

big girl

lamey

and im sure there are ones that i dont know about

brain dump

so i have officially been working 

in the real world

for a month and a half

some days i like it

and then some days its ok

i have started to realize that this job is not like a summer job

i will be waking up early for the rest of my life

the weekend is the only time i have for me time

and the hardest part that i am trying to cope with its that

i will never live in my parents house again

so weird

and sad

if you dont know i am a total home body

it was hard for me to live in a dorm my freshman year

my dorm was literally 3 miles down the road from my parents house

i made my sister sleep in my dorm room with me every night [she was still in high school]

the dorm thing only lasted 2 weeks

im embarassed to say that yes, i did live at home my freshman year of college

but that helps explain my love for home

i struggle when i do go home now

balancing time between my friends that are still in college and my family time

its hard

the real world is hard

on a good note

i am starting to learn to cook a different meal every night

thank you to numerous blogs that i look at you have really inspired me

at my parents house the staple items were

chicken

&

spaghetti

usually it was rotated every other night

but now i have numerous things i love to cook

its awesome

so easy and really helps me unwind after work

i have a goal for myself

maybe someone will hold me accountable out there?

i want to read a new book every month

i have started 

and i love it

it really has be thinking about who I am as a

Christian and what it means

trust me when i say, i need a lot of work.

i was hoping to read it on my lunch break

but news broke out hobby lobby is having 50% off all christmas stuff

its never to early to start decorating right?

i had to make a stop at hobby lobby.

sorry for rambling

love yall to the moon

day eighteen: something you regret

i try to live my life without

regrets

one thing i regret

is quiting the track team

i also regret not talking to my grandfather more

he was one of the most knowledgeable, non judgemental, loving & kind person

i have ever met

this is the reason

i have added to my goals

talk to family members once a week
