Tidbit of a Poem

I wrote this poem when I was about 10. It made me smile so I'd thought I'd share it!

CHEESEBURGER
The cheeseburger sat alone one day.
The pickles didn’t want to play.
The ketchup stayed in the fridge to sleep.
The onions sat in the cupboard to weep.
As the cheeseburger began to cry,
It caught a little boy’s eye.
You probably know what happens next.
The little boy has no regrets.
He says it is so good and yummy.
Now there’s nothing else to satisfy his tummy.

Obviously I had an aversion to cheeseburgers when I was young... :)

I Speak for the Trees

The answer is YES, I am still alive! I have actually had complaints that I have not blogged in a while (I do miss it) so I though I would give it a go today since I have some TIME. When you work and go to college time is something that becomes precious and seems to disappear quickly. I have found this out these past couples months.

"So, how's life?" you ask? Here's how:

1) I have become absolutely OBSESSED with new Lorax movie. I have watched it about 5 times in the past week. (That's where all off my free time goes!) "I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues," and yes, I cried when they chopped down that first tree. It broke my heart. :(

2) I got my permit! Woot woot! 18 years old and finally, finally.... finally got it! (On the first try too!)

3) I'm still working at Giant Eagle and Sebastian is getting back to work from summer vacation at Mercyhurst.

4) Sebastian starts college on the 28th of this month and will be going to classes in the morning, then working from 4 till 9?10?11?12? whenever they close almost everyday. Boy, is he REALLY going to look forward to summer vacation now! lol

5) I am in week 7 of Phoenix University online and I am loving it! In case you forgot, I am going for an arts degree with a concentration on communication. Later on it will become a Bachelor's degree in journalism  (mostly likely).

6)  Sebastian and I went to Cedar point for the first time of our lives and had an awesome time on all the roller coasters! Of course, the day we went it had to be the hottest day of the summer so we mainly stuck around by the water rides and oh boy, did those Fast Lane passes come in handy then!

Well, that's about it. Nothing that new and exciting but it's all good stuff. The only bad thing that happened was that Little Grandma (my 96 year old great grandma) was taken to the hospital because the swelling in her legs wouldn't go down and it was getting really bad but she's okay now. All is well in my world right now, I couldn't be happier! And just in case you are wondering, Sebastian and I are starting to count down to our 5 year anniversary in December! I can't believe it's been that long!

Picture time! Yay!
