Summer Scrapbook Saturday #5

Yeah, everything's been late this past week. I have been the worst at planning all week. It happens. All in all, it's been a good week. All my activities have been all over the place. A couple of the days were just taken over by sleeping after work. I had a full week, and it was exhausting.

1. On Thursday night, the promotions team decided to have a few (or more) drinks. We went to the classic patio bar downtown, and let me tell you, they have great nachos. That's kind of it. We all learned a lot about each other, and it was a fun time.

2. Whoever didn't like the High School Musical franchise (even if it was just for Zac Efron) has something wrong with them. Marlee and I decided to watch all three movies this summer, and we made it to the second movie! It was obviously amazing. And fun fact: a co-worker was driving me home yesterday, and he totally played the slow song that Zac and Gabriella sang when they broke up.

3. My sister's birthday was this past Saturday, but my dad was out of town, so we had her birthday dinner on Sunday night. Cake is a great thing in the world, but my mom made carrot cake with raisins. I don't like raisins.

4. My promo team made a Starbucks run on Friday, and I genuinely don't know how the guy decided my name was spelled. I wanted to put this in because Friday was HORRIBLE for promo team. Our morning school was perfection. We refer back to it all the time when discussion perfection. As for the afternoon, it can be summed up by one event: we asked a question and as a response, a kid farted. Enough said.

5. Saturday night, my sister and I played a riveting game of Spit while we Skyped a friend of mine. It was hilarious.

6. Thursday afternoon, promo team went to the beach. It was supposed to be sunny, but it was all overcast and kind of chilly. Nevertheless, we had a blast. It's all about the company you keep.

As I said, Tuesday and Wednesday were sleepy days. I also spent some time writing Tuesday's blog post. I'd like to think I'm getting better at taking pictures, but I'm definitely not.

Recently Read - October 2020

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an i...

Book Review- A Treatise On Shelling Beans by Wieslaw Mysliwski

So this book took me way too long to read. I read before bed to shut my brain off, but I was so exhausted all summer that I was asleep as soon as I got into bed. It has been a long time, but I finally finished it! I took a good handful of quotes that sparked my thinking, so brace yourself! And if you’re interested in the tradition summer, you can find it here . 1.        When people can be divided by something they always will be (9). Just think-the only thing that really divides us as people are differences. If we see someone who is a fraction of a fraction different than us, our minds consider it division. Why is that? Why must we let things get in the way of relationships?   2.        All the more because if you ask me, these days the soul is a commodity like anything else. You can buy it and sell it, and the prices aren’t high (28) A popular book genre of the modern era is “self-help.” Lumped with that...
