Christmas Memories: It's the Thought that Counts

Every week until Christmas I will share a Christmas memory to fill everyone with joy and cheer.

One year for Christmas (when I was much younger) I needed to get my dad a gift, so I decided on underwear, because I thought it was funny. However this was not normal underwear, but a pair I would sew myself. I gathered together a pair of my dad's underwear from his drawer, some black cotton fabric we had, and glow in the dark thread. I began by laying out my dad's underwear and matching the length of the band to the fabric and cut. I attempted to match the pair of underwear, regarding the pattern. I also decided to sew on either "Merry Christmas Daddy" or just "Daddy," I don't remember, once again in glow in the dark thread. I began to sew (luckily, I made the pattern in a way that required me to ony sew one side and the legs) with the glow in the dark thread and was finished! How nice to receive a personalized pair of underwear from your daughter !

On Christmas morning my dad got to open up his gift! I insisted he try them on, but he wouldn't because my mom and he said they were too small. I didn't understand how they would be too small as I did copy the other underwear. Kind of a bummer. But, thankfully my dad still has them to this day (At least that's what my parents say, because I haven't seen them in years).

God Bless!

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out. We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Things I've Found on the Ground

Family and friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It has been a while since I've published a blog post, but after audience interest in the rekindling of the blog here I am at the 11th hour to ensure a numerical year doesn't go by without a post. I guess I've been gone because I've been busy or less inspired…I don't know. Anyways, for the past two years (and some months) I’ve taken pictures of things I find on the ground, some of them are amusing, so I’ve decided to share some and write little stories for each. So, please enjoy a small collection of photos and commentary of things I’ve found on the ground. Making Love in a Hopeless Place Where: Walmart Parking Lot When: December What: An Open Condom Wrapper Can anyone imagine a more romantic place to cement your love than a Walmart parking lot. I surely can't. Forget fireworks you have the rustle of your grocery bags in the back seat. Meanwhile the cold midnight air wafts in through your cracked windows a...
