Thankfulification { Day 14 }

Ten Things I love about My Hair and am Super Grateful for:

1) it grows fast

2) it's shiny

3) I don't have to use special products

4) it's long

5) it's my natural color

6) the highlights get lighter in the summer time

7) I can get it cut and if I don't like it it will grow fast and blend in better.

8) It curls well and straightens well, without the use of hairspray (except in humidity, but who has perfect hair in that scenario?)

9) I can do almost anything to it if I really have the time and patience (which I don't )

10) It's soft and silky (most of the time) .

Thankfulification {Day 13}

Fallen Leaves: As I walked back from getting ingredients for pecan pie with Michelle, we weaved through a park, meeting grandmother willow and walking under her long leafy fingers, and walking past her shelter into a thick plush carpet of leaves. It was so thick it was like walking through water or snow, without being wet. If we kicked just a little bit it would rain bright colors of crunchy stuff.
Two things I'm grateful for. Making pecan pie from scratch and walking through the leaves
Fun!
Yum!

Thankfulification {Days 9, 10, 11, 12}

Well, I think I'm like what, four days behind on this. I really have been thankful, I just didn't feel like blogging. So here is a catch up post.

Day 9 : My roommate and I went to a Latin dancing place. In my ballroom dance class we are learning the salsa and I thought that it was really really fun. I told my roommate this and she told me about a place that does Latin dancing where they teach a lesson first and then they have a dance afterward. One of her friends teaches there and is a dance competitor.

On Tuesday night at 9:30 the fun began, the building was so old and cool, just like old ballet studios that we always picture. The lesson they were teaching was about back bends. FUN! I somewhat got it down. My feet on the other hand not so much.(yep that's kinda what I was doing, although I'm not as agile...yet)

The thing that was so great about going to this, was that every guy that I danced with knew how to lead. It was so great! Plus I got to learn some new dances and have a refining lesson on my cha-cha. I thought I had it down before but apparently not. Taking a ballroom dance class is one thing, but actually applying it is a completely different experience. So in all this I am thankful for 1) my ballroom class (because I do still like it) 2) my roommate for knowing about this and taking me with her 3) the opportunity to go and have so much fun and 4) guys who can lead.

Day 10: This day I had a math test, ugh. When I was studying over the past three days I felt like there wasn't enough time. Then as I was taking the test there seemed to not be enough time. Both in my studying and during the test, I was pressured by time and my brain completely froze. I knew the information, I just felt like I didn't have enough time to process, remember and understand what I was doing. So today, I am thankful for when I do have enough time, so that I'm able to think.

ƸӜƷ

Day 11: These lovely people


Day 12: Blankets, more specifically, bed comforters. It's just so nice to snuggle with the covers.
Doesn't that bed just look so comfy

Thankfulification {Day 8}


Umbrellas: Because quite frankly yesterday was cold and I think that having that extra extended padding against the snow helped me out a lot.

Thankfulification { days 6 & 7}


Ability to Walk Along Lovely Trees and With Fabulous people (oh how I wish I had a camera) :

I got to go to dinner with lovely people, the event being provided for by two very lovely people as well (They are in this thankfulification post. So I'm very very very grateful for them and every thing that they are able to provide for me. They may seem like a sidenote in this post but really they are not, because quite frankly they might be in another post as well.)

I ate to too much of my hearts content and was not sure if I would be able to function during the rest of the night. Luckily I got to go on a walk with my neighbor and see all the different trees and find some colorful leaves for the autumn leaf color wheel that she is making.

Then on Sunday I got to bond with my new roommate and my older but still getting to know roommate. Then I had the opportunity to go on a drive up the leafless canyon with Heidi and her fabulous roommate Ashley and then we went on a walk on a little path. They fed me well while we watched the amazing CES Fireside.

There's a lot I am grateful for in this post, but most of them will hopefully have their own spotlight later on.

Thankfulification {Day 5}

The Sun: for obvious reasons and I just really don't like walking home after math with no jacket because no matter where I go, I have to walk from bright warming sunshine and into the freezing shadows of buildings or trees. And it's just so darn cold. It's like turning the shower from hot to cold.
Plus, it's just so happy

Also I really like this picture even though sun and rain are complete opposites.
