Homemaker

While I was at the campbells she packed me lunch for the two days. My parents never really got into that, which is totally fine. This is not, by any means somthing I resent them for or anything. I was just cool that Jocelyn did. She filled it with the most exquisite carrots and sugar snap peas and yogurts and Kashi bars and organic goodness. I do believe I was in heaven. The other thing that was really cool was that the first day she wrote me a note and left it in the fridge on the top of my lunch. I thought that it was the coolest thing ever and decided it was worthy of my memories box. For those of you who don't know what that is, which is probably most, it is an honor to have something go in that box :). Anyways. When I got to lunch that day, I realized that my card was missing! I panicked. That note was supposed to go into my box and I didn't have it. I could have sworn that I had put it with my things but it was no where to be found. When I got "home" to the Campbell's house I asked her about it and it turned out that she had "tucked it into the trash." Needless to say, when she was upstairs for a moment, I sifted through the trash to find it. Am I weird for doing that? Oh well :D.


I do believe that the Campbell's house is the perfect example of how I have always envisioned my house running. They have so many organic goodies and vegetables, it is a veritable garden! And they have a library, no TV in their bedroom, they wash their hands when they come home from school, work or just being out and around, they still act like their dating, their kids are so well behaved, she has a treadmill, she loves cooking and vegetables and her daughter would chose a broccoli floret over a chicken nugget.

Now, that isn't saying that there aren't others that I look up to as well. Trust me, there are many more! I just love getting a peek into adult life. Real adult life. I love getting to see how other people do things, ways that I might not have found otherwise and then using them. Things like creative decorating ideas from Jenni, adding orange peel to my sugar cookies like Jocelyn, washing glass jars and nalgene bottles like Valerie, paper bag books from Ashley. Being a mini adult is what I live for. Learning how to be a homemaker is my joy. I know that sounds super cheesy and stuff. Your probaly thinking "what kind of teenager likes mopping the floor?" Suprise! I do!
I am a very unique one. Peculiar? Yes. I may be 15 on the outside, but not so much on the inside. Oh well, one day my body will catch up :)
