While walking around Target, I overheard this conversation:
Boy: So you have a king sized bed?
Mom: Yes
Boy: Is a king sized bed bigger than a queen sized bed?
Mom: Yes
Boy 2: Duh?!
Boy: I always thought a queen sized bed was bigger because it seems like girls always get whatever they want
I laughed, out loud, and just smiled at the mom, who replied "Teach 'em young."

The Time Has Come...
...the walrus said, to begin a new blog challenge.
Apparently, I have become quite incapable of updating my blog without a very clear goal, so I have decided to join my friend Grace in a 31 day blogging extravaganza. Obviously, the ideal scenario is to blog daily, but for now, we'll just start with Day 1: Something You Are Looking Forward To This Year.
I believe the answer to today's blog has to be two-fold, one personal and one professional.
On a personal note, I am going on a cruise this November and I am pretty stoked about it. Last year over Halloween I went on a cruise for the first time and I fell in love with that kind of vacation. I am fully aware that it is somewhat mindless and not the "ideal" way to travel and experience another culture, but sometimes that is exactly what vacation should be. It's perfect for getting completely away from normal life and I get to spend a week with some of my favorite people--I win.
Professionally, I feel very blessed that I have a job that allows me to pursue my passions, even if those passions came as a surprise to me. This fall I am heading up some new programs at the Y that will continue to serve the children I work with through Camp G.R.A.C.E. and that is super exciting to me. The Lord has really surprised me with how passionate I am about serving children with special needs and even though I know it will be a hot mess and add to my plate, I can't wait to get things started. Let's be real, a run club, run by a girl who hates running? It's bound to be entertaining!

Today, I can say I truly and totally enjoyed ALL of my kids at work. And gleaned this awesome Quote of the Day from one kid, fresh from his first day of 5th grade:
"We're going to have to learn about puberty the second half of the year. I already know about the puberty, my mom talked to me about it."

Perfect Strangers
I love when I have "moments" with complete strangers. It's one of those little reminders that deep down people are all kind of the same.
Today I was driving through a parking lot when I come across a goose. Just sitting. Right in the middle of my lane. With absolutely no intention of moving.
I stop, of course, and to the right of me is a woman and her daughter sitting in a mini van. We are both at a stand still, watching this obstinate bird take a load off, when we just look at each other, both laughing at the situation, throw our hands up, and move along.
Nice to know I'm not the only person who's that easily entertained.

A Long Awaited Finish...
After a good run of consistent posting, I got a little sloppy towards the end of this 30 Day Challenge, but alas, today I finish.
The final challenge: A picture of someone you miss.
Charlotte Culotta. OMG. Senior Year Charlotte and I did EVERYTHING together, but since graduation we haven't seen much of each other. But she is an absolutely wonderful girl who I need much more of in my life.

You Always Make Me Smile
Sometimes life gets really busy and you suck at keeping up with your blog, but that's ok because you'll always make up for it eventually.
Day 29: A picture that makes you smile
The child in this picture does everything to the beat of his own drum. While his fellow campers were sitting nicely waiting for art to begin, he walks over to this fan, which was not on, turns it on, lays down, and stays there for about a half hour. I guess summer was just too hot that day :)

Irrational Fear
It's day 28 of the 30 Day Challenge (it's been way past 30 days since I started, but whatever) and today I am supposed to post something that I am afraid of. Honestly, I can't really think of anything that I fear, or anything that really makes me anxious or nervous. There are plenty of things like spiders and snakes that I don't necessarily love, but I'm not scared of them either.
I do, however, have a few random, completely irrational fears that are entertaining, so I figured I'd share one of those instead.
I wasn't exactly sure what to Google to try to get a picture for today, so I opted for "foot, door" and this is what I got, and it's the best that I can do to capture what I need. You're probably wondering what this picture could have to do with a fear. What could possibly be so scary about walking through a door? More than you might think.
For as long as I can remember, I have had this weird fear about doors opening in on my feet. So, it ain't no thing to walk through a door that opens away from me, it's when it opens towards me that I curl my toes up (whether they are exposed or not), out of fear of my toes getting hit by the door, and thus getting hurt. Weird, I know, but it is what it is.
