Letting Go

Thanks xkcd -- so true, so true.

You've Gotta Have Faith

Just a comment on life: sometimes it's terrifying to put your fate into the hands of other people. But, more often than not, you cannot do things by yourself.

It's best to trust that the people who have agreed to support you will follow through with their promises. It's so not worth it to worry about their reliability -- you have no idea what they're capable of.

I just have to remind myself about this time and time again. Being an only child makes me feel strongly independent, but somewhat skeptical of other people. It is an attitude that I must change.

I'm going to participate in this...

This Holiday Season

My goal is to be a little bit more domesticated.

I'm going to make crafts! Yes, crafts out of pine cones. And, I shall bake something. Yes, I said bake. In the oven.

Lately I've been spending lots of time on Martha Stewart's website and, as much as I've complained about being a domestic goddess in the past, I want her skills to rub off on me. Why can't I create beauty out of every day household objects? Why can't I make anything edible from scratch?

Challenge accepted.

Happy Halloween!

My favorite things about Halloween:

Mad Men: For Kids-ish

Check out this hilarious and super cute Mad Men storybook called "Mr. Sterling Gets Angry".

My Pumpkins

 

The stout one is supposed to have a very large mustache --- but, if you can't see it, that's fine too. He looks like a baby too.
