I hate daylight savings time

I've always hated changing the time. After watching this, I hate daylight savings time even more.

Sheep Thoughts

"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting."

My philosophy of trying new stuff

"Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time, to figure out whether you like it or not."

- Virgil Garnett Thomson

Have I ever told you my rule of 15 when trying new foods? It takes as many as 15 times eating a new food to see if you like it. If you've tried it that many different times and still don't like the taste, you probably really don't like it. This is especially useful to remember when trying new foods with children. It helps you get through the annoyance of having sweet potatoes spit in your face for the ninth time.

Justification

Sometimes, I think my husband wonders if I'll ever be like "normal" people. The answer is probably not. I am who I am and that person is a little crazy and definitely different. Despite a love of wool, I'm not a sheep and I'm going to continue doing what I want to do. I think too many people get caught up worrying about everyone else. They lose their joy, their ability to understand the simplest things in life. They're too caught up in being "une grande personne." I hope I never become that way. How sad it would be.

The day after

If I put on my wings the day after Halloween and look cute, do I get more candy?
