I remember in 11th grade we had to watch the news for two weeks straight for homework. I thought, "who on earth wants to watch the news?" Somewhere between then and now I started watching it, quoting it, and anticipating it even. Somehow we get older, all of us. Going for walks seems nice and watching birds becomes interesting. When did it happen? I saw some girls look at me, the same way I looked at mom's with kids when I was young. It got me thinking and then it got me laughing. What a crazy thing.
So much going on in the news lately and I have started to wonder what is the point of watching it. Isn't that grand! It's a new thing I figured out how to do in my life. I just don't watch it, I turn it off.
Granted it has backfired some. I found out a week too late about the junker car cash offer the government was handing out. We have a junker, that might have worked for us, oh well.
Someone else seemed truly shocked that I didn't know swine flu had made it to my county. lol Hey my kids don't have it and so no harm done.
All the other news I get is from facebook, you know little opinions and snippets. All in all, I'm liking not watching the news. The best part of not watching the news is thinking that my old high school se
lf would think I'm pretty cool right now! lol
Ok, here are some new blocks I did recently. The wedding block is $30.
The case filled with blocks is $60
The blocks by themselves are $5/piece. If you add photos to the blocks they are an additional $2 a block.
Most all news on TV relates to fear, which is NOT what we walk in... so why feed on it? Swine Flu? Doesn't scare me... we know what authority we have, right? It can't touch us!
ReplyDeleteAmen Sista Jenny...preach it girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Aim. Love your thoughts on getting older. It's true about realizing we're now the ones the little girls watch and perceive as "OLD!". Totally weird. We were just 14, like, last week.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the news goes, Ben comes home every day from his current events class with at least 4 news items he was given to discuss in class that day. I often ask him, "And do you think anything GOOD or POSITIVE happened yesterday? I'll bet it did; I know it did. All over the world." :)
PS-I would choose these colors to decorate my house, I love them so much. gorgeous blog, girlie.
ReplyDeleteI am supposed to make some "fallish" looking blocks and I'm wanting to do it in this paper or something close. Pretty eh? I'll have to tell you about the most recent project I've been commissioned to do. Pictures will indeed be posted, but it might take me some time to do.
