things for young ladies to do on a cold winter day

this is a close up picture of my knitting.
In Grandmas Attic.
I enjoyed reading Beverly Cleary to. 
I also enjoyed this series of books, mama read these aloud to us when we where little, I loved them a lot, these books are full of adventure that girls of all ages will love.
this is a series of books every girl or boy should read.

this is what I have been working on for quite a long time, it's a scarf for one of my best friends (Melinda). 
This is my knitting bag, it is supposed to be a purse but I don't like soft purses.    

My great aunt made this monkey doll for me, and I made the apron.
I got this in a kit, it came with paint, it was hard to put together, and fun to  paint.

Clara Barton

Clara Barton                  Cara Barton was a Civil War nurse, she founded The Red Cross, and since lots of my friends don't know who she is, I decided to write an article on her.                  Clara Barton was born December 25 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts, she was the youngest of five children born of Sarah and Stephen Stone .                  Clara's childhood was hard because kids teased her about her looks and because she acted like a tomboy. She was also very shy.                 When Clara was 11 years old, her brother fell off a building under construction. For the next few years Clara nursed him back to health.        ...

Firsts

  This year has been full of firsts for me. First plane ride for starters, on which I didn't get a window seat, coming or going. But I still came home with plenty of stories and laughter to share with my family.   I went to Texas on November 2nd. And while I was in Texas I was asked out on a date for the very first time in my life. let me tell you girls...get those expectations DOWN!   It was bad enough that I was inexperienced and new to the dating world, let alone my sky-high unrealistic expectations...for him and myself. I expected flirty conversation and banter, NOT long unbroken silences which I suddenly had no words to fill, my brain frozen with the sudden realization that I wanted him to like me but I didn't want to scare him off.   I think that in my case at least...it's hardest to find words when you need them...it is easy however to spout nonsense all the day long when words are entirely unnecessary and shallow, it's almost like my tongue is out to sabo...

My Story

On today's episode of screaming into the void: That's Not My Story. Mama and I enjoyed a long walk today and shared our feelings on the day's happenings. And we came upon the subject of our stories and what we base ourselves on. Getting aggravated with people who use their past or present struggles as a way to gain pity/love/attention. And realizing that sitting there listening to them talk about their horrible experience (for the tenth time), I suddenly feel the urge to stop them. To slap them and tell them that even though I (or most people for that matter) dont talk about our issues, they're there. And they are big in our lives even if we don't tell every single soul we meet and use it as our Instagram bio. I'm tired of hearing about your problems already. I'm struggling to keep it together as it is. I'm not tired of hearing about peoples problems...I'm tired of hearing people expertly manipulate a conversation into talking about THEIR problems......
