PURPLE

Reason 178: Learning to drive starts. I'm lazy so it's not too exciting. But it is at the same time. After taking this practice test 1000 times and being drilled by Karla & Eric, I'm gonna take my written test for my permit tomorrow. I know, about time, right? Progress, Sammy. Progress is good.

Blue (Da Ba Dee Da Ba Di)

In the words of Merriweather from Sleeping Beauty

Make it BLUE

Reason 177: Baking day! Fun day of baking & karaoke with the girls from church. Always fun to get together and hang out. I seriously feel like we can talk about anything, and it's always great to laugh together. Especially when there are cookies involved! I'm also glad Karla got to go and we could all enjoy her company :)

As we ready ourselves for Oscar season, THIS is the winner of the Best Animated Short from last year.

It won against Disney's La Luna, although that technically came out this year with Brave.

This year, PAPERMAN is nominated, and I want it to win with absolutely all my heart. (Quality is bad. Considering that the animation is one of the most incredible things about this short, I'd actually probably wait to watch it with Wreck-It-Ralph. But I had to share because it's just so beautiful)

It's Not Easy Being Green.

Especially when you have to go to church.

Nonetheless. GREEN!

Reason 176: Possibilities. So I went to church with Karla and, as usual, Covenant Life Church managed to touch me with an absolutely beautiful and powerful message. The main idea being that, through God, all things are possible. How God loves us so much, that, without any regrets, He gave up His everything because of His love for us. And what the Father is to the Son, He is to us. And how He will never make us suffer through anything we cannot endure. He won't take away all the pain, but it will never be something that we are incapable of facing. And, in the end, the reason we suffer through it is because He knows that it will be a great blessing in the end. It is for us and for our benefit. After all, He knows what's best for us all. Considering the insanity that is the human life, it's a very interesting way to look at something usually so negative.

Every time I go to this church, I walk away wishing I could share the blessing with someone. And it looks like a certain someone might be willing to try :)

 

One day can we just watch all of these? They're so good, I promise!

And They Were All Yellow

 These titles aren't that creative...

Today is YELLOW!

Reason 175: Restarting! So I trimmed my hair again! Same as before hehe. And I'm spending this night with Karla (again haha). And My Little Pony is back today!!! AND, although videos are still being rebellious, I FOUND OUT HOW TO UPLOAD PICS AGAIN! Mwuahhahah! And as for videos, I can still use links, like this one of two people being precious/funny. Yay loopholes!

Nothing Rhymes With "Orange"

Reason 174: I'm spending the night at Karla's basically all week hehe always fun. It also means I get to sit and enjoy The Food Network. It's proof that there is reality TV that isn't absolutely awful. And today, I found out about two new shows that I'm very interested in as part of their Cooking Channel sneak peaks. If you know Paula Deen, you know that she's been cooking for years and she LOVES her butter & oil. Now, her son has a show called Not My Mama's Meals where he tries to recreate his mom's food but in healthier, lighter forms. This is not only fun to watch, but exciting, considering how he's really making a drastic change in his life for the better. Then there's a show called My Grandmother's Ravioli which I think is adorable. The intro to the show is absolutely precious. The host, a geeky/funny man, talks about how he remembers his grandmother making the best food but he never learned to cook. So, he's looking for Grandmothers and Grandfathers to teach him how to cook! And he travels around learning from the best. :) Seriously, stuff like this makes my day. Favorite channel!

Today's color: ORANGE.

(I got lucky. I own ONE orange shirt haha)

I Call Her "Red"

Reason 173: We find out the baby's gender in a week! The suspense is killing us. So, to pass the time, I suggested we make some sort of advent calendar, but for the week! And I came up with it! We wear the colors of the rainbow in order everyday! And then, next Wednesday, we wear white! 'Cause it's neutral and it's like now we find out :D I'm excited teehee. Today, we wear red, and prepare for a week of anticipation!

Title comes from THIS song from the show My So Called Life, which is written by Jared Leto's character, Jordan Catalano. We find out at the end of the episode that the "her" he was referring to in the song was actually his car. Womp womp.

And, as a bonus treat. Watch this video. It's not all that spectacular or anything, high school talent show. But you might recognize one of our favorite people from way back when :)
