Dad could have posted this because Gill is a new citizen who gets to vote for the first time... or because of his Photoshop cleanup of the flag mural... |
We didn't participate in the Forest Grove sidewalk chalk art festival this year, so I just got some friends to do our sidewalk... |
This is Anna's sunset interpretation (which she cleverly titled "Sunset Interpretation" |
This is obviously my kiwi... |
And this is Johanna's landscape... |
Obviously the most important thing to happen in October was getting this birthday card... the record actually spins and everything! |
I also got this fabuluous birthday cake (and they even spelled my name right (thanks to Dad's Photoshop skills...)) |
Fortunately Dad agreed not to share all the present opening pictures... |
But what 17 year-old wouldn't be excited by their very own waffle maker?! |
It was truly impressive how Buttercup managed to put this up on her own! |
Aren't you glad that Dad only included some of my forced smile pictures? |
Dad did say that Mom would regret letting him snap this picture... the quirky angle and over the top saturation really make it "pop" though, don't they? |
In case you didn't notice in the last one (hard to take your eyes off the knife, I know) you can see I now go by L'cie... |
Not a thrilling picture... but Mom is really glad she and Dad repainted the family room, nook, hall, and kitchen... |
Last month I was pretty negative. It is no easier to be positive this month.
I mean, it would have been, but then Sean Connery had to go and die...
But then I did find this exciting article telling me to avoid using slang because I'm too old. "All the feels", "YOLO", "Totes", "Lit", "Cray-cray", "The struggle is real", "Oh, snap!", "Basic", "Sus", "Hangry", "Put on blast", "Humble brag", "Clap back", "Talk to the hand", "Savage", "Yaaaaaas", "Fam", "Bruh", "Baddie", "Finesse", "Spill tea", "I'm dead", "Bye, Felicia!", "Dank", "I can't even", "Adulting", "OMG", "Wig snatched", "Boujee", "Thirsty", "Hashtag", "Don't @ me", "Ghosting", "Slay", "Canceled", "Trill", "IRL", "Swole", "Mom", "I'm shook", "Fire emoji", "Hella cool", "Literally", "Left on read", "Fauxpology", "Take the L", "Highkey", "Turnt", "Hundo P" "Shade", "JOMO", "Phubbing", "Bae", "G.O.A.T.", "JK", "Woke", "P", "As if!", "Stan", "Preggers", "TBH", "Extra", "OTP", "Perf", "Keep it", "Netflix and chill", "Ship", "Salty", "FOMO", "TL;DR", "Slide into your DMs", "Goals", "Sorry not sorry", "Ratchet", "Dumb", "Krunk", "Cash me ousside, howbowdah?", "Snatched", "Wassuuuuuup", and "Thicc" are all slang terms that 1) take up a lot of space this month and 2) are things I wouldn't have said when I was younger anyway...
Unfortunately, all my other internet searching this month just led to links about how terrible all the politicians and their supporters are going into the final days of the election. Hopefully we will be able to avoid civil war on the 4th...
And this year you don't even get to see Lucie in a fabulous Halloween costume...
