The Power Of a Good Foot Bath

 My feet were freezing all day yesterday. My mom tried everything she could think of to get some warm. She took them out of my shoes and braces. She put them in my boots but nothing seemed to work. So after everybody went to bed, we went back into my room and watched an episode of Gilmore girls and she put my ice cold toes in a warm bowl of water. It must have worked because my feet stayed warm the entire night. Then once I got in bed she washed me up and we talked I fell asleep within a matter of minutes. In fact it was before she even left the room. I woke up feeling refreshed and all loved and cared about. She is always trying new things to make me comfortable. I don't know where I would be without her. I kept telling her yesterday that she was my Hero. I wasn't sure if she heard me because she was so engrossed in the Gilmore girls. I think she is even more addicted to that show that I am. We laughed over how Emily and her daughter interact with one another (I couldn't use the character's name because my voice recognition recognize it. My mom is getting increasingly busy with the holidays coming up, but maybe she will supply me with another powerful foot bath. I didn  know that a tub could help you sleep so well, but I've been learning a live new things lately.

The End of The Bucket List

Noah finally reached #99 today. The reporter and photographer from the local paper had just left, when I arrived. “ The basket hit the ground safely, I see.”             “Yes,” he replied. “As you predicted, it would have been more fun with my Emilee. All the couple I went with wanted to do was swill red or white, and talk of his promotion. Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next? I was there at the beginning when you had me write the blasted list.”             He was sitting on the edge of the bed when he looked over at me. Tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. “Ah, my boy, I wish I had more time on the clock, more things to tick off.     ...

Day six

Today I saw my taco explode after just one bite, all of it falling onto the plate in a heap of cheese, meat and lettuce. Yesterday I saw all three parts of the same Christmas movie at different times. It sounded like a mixture of infomercials and jingle bells. If you looked inside me you would see someone who is self-conscious and insecure, even after 27 years on this planet The five things I saw that no one else saw The inside of my eyelids The lint on my dress The game boards on my bed. My faded pink nighty on the floor. Tooth picks on the doorframe The most beautiful, terrible thing is the failures and inadequacies of technology

Celebrity Name Game

When mom met me up this morning, she was asking me which celebrity was my favorite, you know favorite female actress or male actor. It reminds me of a one, of one of those  party games that are meant to catch you offguard guard. She asked me a bunch of other questions, I answered accordingly. At the end of the game and after I was done using the toilet and eating breakfast… I wished that I would have been able to come up with better responses.  I think I said Jim Carrey and Julia Roberts. Looking back however, I would have changed my answers. Jim Carrey would have been a contender but Matthew McConaughey would have knocked him off of the top spot. As far as favorite actresses go, and still would have been Katherine Hagel, even though her career has been put on hold because of her desire to have a family. Mom then switched to questions that were of a more personal nature. That game reminding me of something I saw on one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Charmed. I think the s...
