4月24日 Nail Biting TimeI am a HUGE Colorado Avalanche fan. Unfortunately, I don't have a television with cable so I can't watch the games. It's now the semi-final round of the playoffs and Colorado is playing their biggest rival--the Detroit Redwings. Don't get me wrong. Detroit is a great team. They should be. They won more games than any other team in both conferences. I'm hoping that Colorado is going to bring their game with them. Detroit will be tough to beat. Oh, I wish I had cable!! This is going to be an action packed round. So, let the nail biting begin.
Best of Luck to the Mighty Colorado Avalanche!!! 4月21日 Teens and FashionI am constantly amazed at the things teenagers will wear. The Boy? If it's black he'll wear it. I don't mind black. Not from head to toe, mind you, but black is okay. That is all he wants to wear. Black shirt, black jeans, black boots. He has more colors in his wardrobe. I should know. He still lets me help him pick out his clothes.
But what The Boy likes is nothing compared to some of the insane stuff I see on kids walking down the street. A while ago, it was all the rage to wear jeans 3 sizes too big so the pockets hung down to their knees. Thank the Gods The Boy thought that was as unattractive and tacky as I did. Now, what I am also seeing are kids wearing jeans that are 3 sizes too small. They can't even pull them up past their hips, so their butts hang out as they are walking down the street. Do they think that is attractive or cool?Why bother wearing clothes at all?
I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm a mom or an adult or something, but I think it would be more attractive if they wore clothes that fit. Do they like looking like welfare children? Another thing I think about is comfort and ease. How comfortable is it to be wearing clothes from your little sister's closet? How easy is to move around when you have to stop and pull your pants up every 5 seconds?
I know kids these days are struggling to find their own unique style and personal identity, but I don't think wearing ill fitting clothes or all one color (sorry, son) is the way to do it. I know my reaction when I see what kids are wearing. I stare with horrid disgust and dismay that their mothers let them go out in public like that.
Maybe that's it. Parents aren't paying enough attention to their children as they are walking out the door in the morning. They could say they we are trying to be the cool parent, or the parent who is up on all the fashion trends, but let's get real. What these kids are wearing is not cool or fashionable. It's downright horrifying! 4月10日 5 Weeks and Counting5 weeks to go!!! I am almost done with school!!! My uncle has made arrangements to come and get me and The Boy when I am finished and take us back to Wyoming. Once we get there I will do my externship at a pharmacy in either Lander or Riverton. The move to New Mexico, I found out, hasn't been canceled. Just postponed until September or so.
Money has been a serious issue with us living here. I know that money isn't everything, but when you are barely making ends meet and according the work force services you make too much money to qualify for assistance, there is a problem. A big problem!!! Luckily, I qualified for finanial aid so I could actually go to school. Then maybe in the future I won't have to worry so much.
Don't get me wrong in any of this. I like Salt Lake. There are great things about living here. For the most part, the people are great. There's tons of shopping and entertainment. The mountains are...well, RIGHT THERE!!! But I can't afford to live here, so I am going back to Wyoming.
Oh, and it might please you to know that The Boy is bringing his grades up. I know that the 4th quarter has barely begun, but as of right now, he has 4 A's and a C+ or two. I don't expect perfection, even though I know he is capable of all A's (he's so smart!!!), but up to now he has failed every class because he wasn't making any effort what-so-every to do his work. So, this is a big deal!!! Hooray for The Boy!!! He deserves a big pat on the back. |
