I found this cool webstore called Sock Dreams, which is actually a store in Portland, Oregon. I decided to order two things from them: thigh-high pink-and-black striped socks, and magenta suspenders.
They came two days ago. I wore the socks right off the bat (just in time for a super-cold day!), and wore the suspenders yesterday. I decided to get the suspenders because last week, I got a really bad allergic reaction to my belt buckle. I figured there would probably be nickel in the suspender clasps as well, but I covered them with tape and have to tuck my shirt in to wear the suspenders, so I don't think it will be a problem.
Today, I finally managed to incorporate both the socks and the suspenders into one outfit (while borrowing my roommate's fedora and shirt). I thought it would be fun to wear suspenders with a skirt, and the socks with bright shoelaces. Here it is, in my oh-so-dramatic pose:
A few other things about my life:
-I'll be starting an EMT course soon, paid for by Rivercrest! (They're paying for the credit tuition, and they'll pay for the fees and books too if I promise to work during the summer as a staff member with EMT certification.)
-I get to start volunteering at Relevant's Kids Sunday school. I can't make it this week because of the retreat, but I'll start shadowing this month and then after that I'll help about once a month.
-I watched a snake swallow a live mouse whole today. It was pretty entertaining.
Dad wants to know if you watched the snake outside, or was it some sort of a science project???? Or, is it just a "green" way to get rid of mice in the house? LOL I guess our snakes are too little to eat the mouse I saw.
ReplyDeleteKristjun caught the snake a few weeks ago, and Adam kept it as a pet. It wouldn't eat frozen mice, but apparently they only need to eat once a month or so. So last night Adam caught some mice in his house and brought them here for snake food.
