30X30 Day 20: Poison Ivy

I think I’m coming down with something, my cheeks are on fire and my nose wont stop dripping. But I am managing to get this post done tonight.

As for my outfit if you don’t like the belt, I agree. But I like it, I just have to find the right thing to wear it with. My friend David said it looked like I had a backward back brace on. I’ve had the belt for years and I do not remember where I got it.

30x30 Day (17) 18 and 19: Double Your Trouble

Ok so I have been a bit lazy, I didn’t post last night because all I wanted to do was to veg out in front of the TV and that’s exactly what I did last night and what I am going to do right after this.

So to keep things short here is day 18 and 19.

Day 18

30x30 Day 16 Tree Hugging

Today I killed a bug and I feel bad about it. It was a hornet flying around my office and I brutally killed it. I am allergic to bee stings and I didn’t want to take my chances. I don’t even want to explain how it was brutal, it was done so I didn’t have to get within a foot of it. I mean why was it in my office? It is 30 degrees outside, don’t bugs hibernate? And how did it even get inside?

I do not like killing nature’s things if I don’t have to but this was a special case. I am not a vegan like my friend Karen who doesn’t consume animal products whatsoever because she doesn’t believe in killing another life. I hate that I am a meat eater and that animals have to suffer in order for me to enjoy food. I could become a vegetarian but animals would still be harmed whether or not I eat their products. There is animal products in almost everything we consume everyday, from soaps to clothes to medical items and so much more. I commend my friend Karen because she reads every label on every item in order to make sure no animal bi-product is in it. I live in a matter of convenience, its lazy thinking, but I have to live with the conscience thought that an animal gave its life so I can enjoy its product.

So today I hug a tree and I will pray that the bug didn’t suffer a horrible death. I promise I am not kooky, but I don’t like anything to suffer, ok well maybe an x or two.

30x30 Day 15 Can You Meet Me Halfway

Wow, halfway through already! I cant believe I made it this far. I tell you though, it hasn’t been with out a struggle. I have had lazy days and days I couldn’t figure out what combinations I wanted to do. I also had to work around snowy cold days.

My main issue though was getting the pictures done, finding locations and people who were willing to take my pictures. I was able to take my own pictures but I had to find places that were secluded that I wouldn’t be bothered by nosy people.

I've also lost two pieces of my wardrobe one to a hole in the arm pit and the other in a friends house. Luckily those two pieces I haven't yet worn so I will replace them with something else that I have in the rest of my wardrobe.

So here is Day 15.
