friday poem
This week I read some of the Tree House kids' poems called "Where I'm From" and decided to try one of my own :)
Where I'm From
I'm from doors never locked, except when we're on vacation.
I'm from "cricks," not "creeks."
I'm from Bruce Springsteen on the record player Sunday morning.
I'm from cat hair on everything,
From "Family comes first," "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," and "Wherever you go, there you are."
I'm from Coors Light on the railroad tracks,
From Hamburger Helper, hard work, and country music.
I'm from good people doing the best they can
And loving, unconditionally.

amazed!!!
last night my boyfriend told me i was supportive. i know it's just a simple word but i was all like
super happy spongebob style! no one ever told me i was supportive before. probably because i wasn't. but those days are over!
when i was little my mom told me that a good relationship doesn't depend on how much you like the person your with. it depends on how much you like the person you are when your with them. i love my parents, my friends, and my boyfriend, but more than that, i love the person i am able to be in these relationships. a good daughter?! a loyal friend!? a supportive girlfriend?! the fact that i can even see past my own nose somedays surprises me. but this mushy stuff? get outta town. i don't know how or when i got to a place where i am able to be all of these things, and i know i didn't have much to do with it.
thanks, god. u da man.

amazed
so yesterday i cut myself opening a can of peaches (used to make boyfriend a happy birthday peach pie... which turned out AWESOME) and today, when i went searching for a band-aid to shield my wound from my knitting needles... i found these babies.
that's right. BACON BAND-AIDS. whoever invented these, please let me have your children.
i forget where i got them... probably spencer's. it had to of been at least a few years ago. but man, am i glad i made this purchase. wearing this little piece of meat around my thumb even made me grateful for my peach-can cut. i guess everything really does happen for a reason *looks off dreamily into distance*
in conclusion: buy some bacon band-aids. everyone will think you're cool, and paper cuts won't bring only misery anymore. bacon band-aids for life!!! (or at least until i forget about them again.)

confused
why is easter so underrated? in a poll of favorite holidays, easter was listed as #7, beating only st. patrick's day, valentines day, and labor day. i get why the bottom three suck: no one who isn't a college student or an alcoholic gives two shits about st.patty's day; all single people hate valentine's day, and the only people who like labor day are married women who use it as an excuse to get their lazy husbands to paint the shutters. but why is easter so low on this list? after much consideration, i have decided that easter is my favorite holiday. (not including my birthday... because what's better than a day when everyone realizes how special and important i actually am?) here's why i think easter is so great:
1. candy.
but wait, cries a naysayer, what about halloween?! yes, there's candy on halloween, but there's also those slutty girls who don't get the concept of a halloween costume. wearing lingerie and bunny ears does not make you a bunny. wearing lingerie and mickey mouse ears does not make you mickey mouse. you know what it does make you? A SKANK. if you want to dress that slutty, just be honest and say that you are dressing as a ho or a prostitute. we all know that's what you really are anyway.
the only person you're fooling with those ears is yourself, hunny.
last time i checked bumblebees don't wear platform heels or fishnets.
2. nobody even pretends easter is really about jesus.
everyone knows that christmas is really about cookies, presents, and decorations. but there are still some people that refuse to accept that. they put up their little nativity scenes and force their children to go to church because "christmas is abo
ut jesus, damnit!" while christians may still be refusing to let go of their grasp on christmas, they've completely given up on easter. no one puts up "resurrection scenes." some people still go to church, but they are a select minority. in my experience, i've been able to make it through 99% of easters without even giving a single thought to jesus - and it's AWESOME. on easter we can relish in our ridiculousness - a bunny that brings eggs! (and bunnies don't even LAY eggs!) on christmas, people fight the secularity and capitalistic overtake
of the holiday, but on easter, we accept it. we give up the fight and instead turn our focus on cadbury eggs - coconut AND peanut butter.
jesus sad :( don't worry, forgiveness is his thing.
3. PEEPS. (they get their own category because they are not merely "candy" - they are little pieces of heaven.)
does this one really need an explanation?
as you can see, easter has all the great stuff about other holidays (food, friends, candy), without all the excess crap (jesus, sluts, etc.). to sum up: EASTER IS THE BEST. respect it, nukka!
