Daily Post Jan. 9

What's the 11th item on your bucket list?

11. Become a vegetarian for a month.

I attempted this once....it didn't last a week. I think that is why I ended up adding this to the list, just to see if I could do it. In my defense, I attempted to become a vegetarian during summer and we barbeque just about every other day, so that probably wasn't a very smart idea. I think I might actually attempt this again soon.

Daily Post Jan. 7

What book did you read over and over as a child?

I loved reading Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish as a child. I still have my original copy on my book shelf now. The fact that she takes everything so literally makes me laugh so hard every time! This is a book that always puts a smile on my face when I read it. However, I did read it to my Early Literacy class, and I should have thought that through before picking the book because repeating Amelia Bedelia so many times....well it becomes a tongue twister after a while! If you haven't read this you are missing out on something really incredible!

Daily Post Jan. 5

And of course it had to happen, I missed 2 days already. Honestly, I thought I would have at least kept up through January before I started missing days. We can all just blame it on the fact that I started a new show (the 100) on netflix and am trying to finish the 2 seasons that are on there before the semester starts tomorrow. I decided that I am not going to make up the posts that I missed.

You encounter a mysterious man offering you a magic potion that, once sipped, will make one of your senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch) super sharp -- but dull the others. Will you sip it, and if so, what sense do you choose?

This is a tough one. I don't know that I would want to dull out the other senses. I think that there would definitely be benefits to choosing each one of these though.

Sight, well considering I have terrible vision this would be nice. I wouldn't have to worry about glasses or contacts anymore. I imagine that I would be able to see at night, like have super night vision, that would be really cool. However, my eyes are sensitive to light as it is and if I made that stronger I don't know that that would be all too comfortable for me.

Hearing, don't we all want to be a fly on a wall sometimes?

Taste, if I wanted to become a chef or a food critique, I think that having heightened taste buds would be awesome. I would be known world-wide and everyone would want me to taste their food!

Smell, I don't know that this could always be a good thing haha. However, if I could use it to detect fires early on or find gas leaks and things like that -- well I would be a darn super hero and save a lot of people grief now wouldn't I?

Touch, this is the one that I really think I wouldn't choose at all. I imagine this being something that would make feel like your nerves are all open to the world. Like the protective layer that keeps us from over feeling things would be gone. It just sounds painful to me honestly.

After writing it all out like that, I guess my inner-foodie wins. I would super charge my taste, however the fact that I would have to dull out the others makes me iffy as to whether or not I would actually sip the potion.

Daily Post Jan. 1

So I am ready to get into this daily writing thing. I have a list of writing prompts and I am having someone choose a random number and I will just respond to that post. I encourage who ever is reading this to comment down below their responses as well. Lets get into my head:

What did you most enjoy doing this week?

This week I enjoyed New Years Eve. There is something about the idea of starting fresh that kind of really gets to me. I didn't really set any resolutions though because I am satisfied with where my life is at and while I decided that I want to make a couple of changes, it isn't something that I would consider a resolution because I feel like once I attach that word to something, that is it, I won't actually accomplish it. Anyway I also loved the fact that I didn't have work, I got to eat my body weight in junk food (paying for it today!), and just hung out with my family and watched Impractical Jokesters. By far the funniest show I have ever watched in my life! Really enjoyed starting off the new year laughing, it seems symbolic of how my year should go.
