"Harriet burst into tears. She ran to her mother and cried very hard.
'I felt awful. I felt awful,' was all she could say.
Her mother hugged her and kissed her a lot.
The more she hugged her, the better Harriet felt.
She was still being hugged when her father came home.
He hugged her too even though he didn't know
what it was all about."
- Harriet the Spy
I just finished reading this book last night, and I cried at that part.
It reminded me of what amazing parents I have.
Anywhoo!
Over Thanksgiving break, I sparkled up my room at home
with Christmas decorations!
I used mainly purples and pinks this year.
And a whole lot of teacups, per the norm...
I love to put things in and around them...
It makes the whole spot much more exciting to look at.
All the little cubby holes are a Christmas feast for the eyes!
I got this shelf for three dollars at a thrift store.
With the help of my mom, all the goops of paint got stripped off,
and I sanded it down and gave it a beautiful walnut stain.
The hard work paid off!
During the break, aside from decorating, I read a lot...
... with the kitty cats by my side of course!
And now I am back in my dorm room!
I love it here, but I am ready for finals to end and Christmas break to begin!
Today I got a little break from the stress.
In between marching two Christmas parades (I'm in the band),
my mom came over, and we went to a thrift shop here in town...
... Where I picked up these Christmas treasures for my dorm!
... Or for the house...
Well, wherever I like them is where they will go!
I also scored this. I've been wanting to watch it
again for quite a while, and now I can!
Man, oh man, am I looking forward to down time,
and I hope you get some for the Holidays, too!
Until next time,
Lots of Love,
