1. Happy birthday, Great Grandma Rose! Today (Friday) my grandma is 91 years old. When I asked her how it felt to be celebrating her 91st birthday she told me she didn't expect to live so long. Anyways, shout out to her for being a trooper!
2. Tuesday, I received my yearbook for my senior year of high school. The yearbook cover looked great and was really interesting. It was even embossed. The theme for the Viking Voyager volume 52 was all things travel. This meant passports, postcards, travel themed title pages. The works. I enjoyed that aspect of the yearbook. As for the photos representing the year, not so much.
There were many repeats of photos of people and none of others. This happened to me. For instance, there are three photos of the same two people on the color guard page. The only photo of me on said color guard page was in the very blurry group shot. One of the photos on the page is the same girl on the same night in the same exact spot on the field taken at very similar angles. Another example is the fact that they yearbook staff choose to feature a select few is with homecoming. Normally there are photos of all the homecoming court members. Not this year. They put photos of three of the couples that were on court and none of the rest. There are literally so many pictures of the same couple. It was so redundant to look at.
Anyways, I find it incredibly annoying that the yearbook photographers take the same photos of the same people (mostly their popular friends) all year long, and that is all that ends up in the yearbook. It will always happen though. This is part of why high school and their yearbooks are overrated. In ten years I could be going through my high school yearbooks, and all I will remember is how I wasn't popular or friends with anyone popular.
3. Moving right along, I tried a few new foods this week! First up: butternut squash. I made a butternut squash veggie burger with carrots and garlic. I was hesitant to try this because I had never had any kind of squash before. I became especially so when cutting the butternut squash open because it smelled a bit like pumpkin. I'm not a fan of pumpkin anything food wise. Once it was cooked, I took a bite and it was actually pretty good. Something I think I will eat more of in the future. Next was pomegranate. I had wanted to try pomegranate for such a long time. After learning how to cut it without a huge mess, I was pleasantly pleased with the taste. It is definitely one of my favorite foods now. I even had my dad stop at the store today (Saturday) to pick up more. I eat it like candy. Lastly, tomorrow I am making zucchini bread for the first time. I love the taste of zucchini bread, so hopefully it turns out and my family has another tasty treat to eat.
4. I took photos last weekend of my sister and her daughter for a mommy and me session and the baby's five month photos. The turned out so, so great, and I had a lot of fun while taking them. Now I have to edit and finish them before next weekend. I have a senior session planned. Hopefully the weather cooperates for that (currently a rainy forecast). I'm excited but also slightly nervous since it is my ex boyfriend's sister who I am taking photos of. Whatever. I'll make it great. *stands in superman pose for confidence*.
5. Today was Cedar Springs Red Flannel Day. That meant waking up and going out in the wind and cold to watch marching bands compete. After that there was plenty of walking around to last me through tomorrow. There was... Well, I'll just let you watch my video on Monday because I vlogged.
Okay, I'm tired after such a long day. Good night, morning, whatever it is where you are.
