Day 26

Day 26: What are some things that make you feel warm and fuzzy?

Well, for starters, I LOVE baby animals! I can't help but to squee or want to hold them, whether they are tiny puppies or kittens, or polar bears and hippos.

When the boyfriend does something small, but still really thoughtful. Like one time, he was really late getting home, and I couldn't get him to answer the phone at all, and I was REALLY starting to worry he had gotten in a wreck, or something was wrong. I went outside as soon as he got here, and he had stopped and waited in a long line at the drive thru to get me a Dr. Pepper, because he knew that we had run out at home. It was pretty awesome, even though it was mixed with the worry... haha

When I get to spend time with my really close group of friends, I would definitely describe that as warm and fuzzy. No matter how long we have been apart, we are always able to pick right back up where we left off. There is never any awkwardness and we usually spend our time catching up, cuddling/watching movies, or drinking and karaoke. (PS! I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!)

Hugs... Hugs make me so happy. They are one of my favorite things for sure. I love the feeling of having someone's arms wrapped around me, the safety it seems to provide, whether it be my safety, or me providing it for someone else (ie my niece).

Day 25

Day 25: A song to fit your mood right now

After writing that letter, I'm a little depressed, but I realize exactly how much I love and appreciate everyone that I am close to. I love this song, because no one knows what is waiting for us after we die, but as long as we love the best and most we can, then we've accomplished all that we can.

Day 23

Day 23: A letter to someone, anyone...

I thought about writing a letter to bad customers, and people who are in general mean, or ignorant... but I decided to write a different kind of letter. This may be kind of a tear jerker, so if you aren't into super sad/depressing blogs, you might not want to read this.

Dear Granny (my great grandmother who died around 5 years ago),

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I've been thinking about how amazing of a woman you were. You were a spit-fire lady, and didn't take any shit off of anyone. Even in your frail state near the end, you were easily one of the strongest women I've ever known.

You were 20 years old when you married Grandpa. You took on more responsibility than anyone I know when he went into war and you had to provide for your children and work all along. You made tough decisions that always turned out to be the right ones. You upheld your morals and shaped mine today.

When I think about you, I hope that you would have been proud of me... of the decisions I've made, of the people I love, and who I am. I think that you might understand me better than some of the people I'm closest to now.

I still think about that time we laughed so hard in the kitchen until we were crying and everyone looked at us like we were crazy, no one thought it was funny except for us. At your funeral, you weren't even a wisp of the woman I knew, I couldn't even look in your casket. I was broken-hearted. I was so upset that I didn't get to spend as much time with you as I would have liked. Even now, I still regret that we lived so far away, but in retrospect, the time we spent together was made even more precious because of the distance.

I miss you everyday.

Love always,

Sheritta

Day 22

I am bad at blogging. They say that the best thing about the 30 day challenge is that it helps to create a habit, so you can blog every day.... I'm just not sure why I can't keep up with it. I need to figure out some way to remind myself.

Day 22:

Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

My ears are pierced, I used to have double holes, and a cartilage piercing but they grew up. I also had a Monroe piercing but had to take it out when I was looking for another job, and it grew up as well. I loved it so much though, that I'm currently trying to find a job where I can get it again, and it won't matter :)

I have two tattoos as of now. I have a heart on my lower back, and a dark mark on my left forearm. They both have pretty special meanings to me, but I feel like everyone is so over hearing about tattoos and meanings... lol

Day 21

Day 21: Your favorite picture of yourself of all time and why

I think that this is probably my favorite picture of myself. I remember this day and I genuinely felt pretty when I took this picture. And later a friend told me that he thought I was pretty when I was happy... It was just one of those things that stuck with me. Also, my face is clear of acne, my hair was cute, and my makeup was perfect... :)

Day 20

Seriously, I suck at blogging everyday... I just am not good at this. I try to keep up, but I forget. I need to set some sort of blog alarm or something... haha

Day 20: Name all the places you have lived

Well, I'm assuming you mean towns, because I'm not going to list all of my addresses... haha

I was born in Arkansas, and lived in Flippin/Yellville until I was 6ish. We moved to Orangefield, Tx. Then a few years later, we moved to Mauriceville, and when I graduated high school, I moved to Beaumont. Hopefully soon I can add Austin, Tx to this list.
