popcorn

That's right people! It's time to get down to busyness! We are talking about POPCORN today! ;) Why? because it's a very...important and...tasty food! Without popcorn movies would be less popcorny! and then what would the people who work at theaters have to clean up after all of us sloby movie goers? GASP! not peanuts! And then what would all those poor people that are allergic to peanuts eat? Surly we can not deprive them of that buttery goodness now!!
Okay but no really, popcorn is really just an amazing food! It starts out these hard kernel things and then you heat it up and this fluffy white yumminess come BURSTING out and it's like a butterfly coming out of it's...shel! And then you can put butter and salt and other seasoning on it and make it even yummier! And it's soo crunchy and salty and yummy and you can put cheese powder on it and then it's REALLY YUMMY!!! And even that popcorn with carmel or w/e it is all over it is good! And to think that orthodontists don't let all those poor kids with braces eat any popcorn for TWO HOLE YEARS just breaks my little hart! Okay not really but if there are any orthodontists reading this, take it from someone that had braces it's just mean not let us eat popcorn for that long!
Anyway if you really think about it we can learn from popcorn! Just cause someone is hard and hurts like when you try eating a kernel doesn't mean they can't change, just show them a little warmth and heat them up (in a good way) and POP they can be fluffy and soft! Like kittens. But remember, just like kernels not everyone will change because there are always those kernels at the bottom of the pot that won't pop.
p.s. this is Katy and I totally agree, popcorn is awesome!!! :) try some! eat some! have some more!!

first snow

sO since Katy always posts about their first snow fall of the year...I decided to post about our first snow of the year. Out here in the Midwest we've been waiting for snow for months and all we've seen so far is a couple flurries, which don't really count as the first snow fall since they don't stick. Leading up to today it's been FREEZING cold and the weather people on tv have been talking about how we might get a little...but then we don't. and then all of sudden on a day with only a 20 percent chance of snow...I get woken up by everyone trying to be the first to tell me that we have like half an inch of snow! And it's keep snowing all day! :) Which makes me happy! :)

So anyway here are a couple pix! :)

poem

Hey everyone! This is a poem I wrote yesterday I thought I'd share.

Nature is Bright and Gloomy
--
I say
Nature is bright
and gloomy
like a necklace
chain mostly dull
but shining through
as well
The bright leaves
of Autumn fiery
blow
up near the endless
gray sky while
raindrops cold and
transparent
pelt down.
I say
Nature is bright
and gloomy.
In the woods
there are gray rocks
nameless
and mysterious
because of
what they hide
Some of them you break
open
and find garnets and
other things shining
worthless yet bright.
I say Nature is bright
and gloomy
for when the leaves
sink down
covering old dying
crackly grass
the sky looks down
blank gray
and gloomy
but down here
it is bright
