Peanut butter!
I promised something a little lighter after yesterday's semi-philosophical entry! I absolutely love peanut butter! I don't know what it is about it that makes me love it so much, but I can (and, um, have) eat it by the spoon full. It's a good thing that it has a lot of calories and fat or else I would probably go through an entire jar in a day with total disregard to a serving size!

Today I'm thankful for...
Life!
This topic originally came to mind after my step great grandmother passed away earlier this month at the age of 92, but it's also appropriate after the topsy-turvy, busy week that I've had. Life is funny. You never quite know what you're going to face each day, and sometimes things don't always go how you expect or want them to, but in the end, God has a purpose. Everyone's life means something, and they're in their current situations for some reason, even if they can't necessarily see it at the moment. Sometimes things just flat out suck, and that's okay. Sometimes life's not fair, and that's okay. It's what you do with the good moments in life that really count and make you appreciate everything you have.
Now, let me try to think of something shallow for tomorrow. ;)

Popcorn!
Popcorn is a great snack food, especially if you're trying to lose weight. It smells good (um, unless you burn it...that smell lingers for weeks), you get a lot in a serving, and you can play around with different spices to make it taste better. The only problem I have with popcorn is that if it's expired, it catches on fire and then the fire department has to come to your place of employment to check on the alarm. Not that I've ever had that happen or anything...

Songpop!
I only heard about Songpop recently, so I don't know how old it is, but I'm already addicted to it (even though I don't get to play it as much as I did when I was on my staycation). Songpop is a social music trivia game where you play against friends or strangers and try to guess five songs' artists or titles in different categories. You take turns choosing genres, so I could choose Christian/Gospel for my round, and then my opponent could choose British New Wave for her turn. If you accumulate more points during a round, you win three coins; if you lose, you only get one coin. The coins can be used to buy new genres. It may sound silly, but it combines my competitive nature with my love for guessing music!

Shirts!
Evidently, yesterday, along with being Women's Equality Day, was also Go Topless Day. For some reason, I think that was created by those who oppose W.E.D., but I may be wrong. Anyway, I'm extremely thankful for shirts because who knows what kind of nonsense we'd be seeing if people went topless? The only person that I think should've celebrated yesterday was David Beckham (shirt off!), but you're welcomed to respectfully disagree...

Women's equality!
Today is Women's Equality Day, so I thought it was appropriate to celebrate our equality. Even though we still have a ways to go with some things, like equal pay between men and women, we have made a lot of strides. Think about how even just 100ish years ago (I'm not a history major ha ha), women couldn't even vote, wear pants, etc. I can't imagine not having some of the rights that I take for granted! There are also other places in the world where women are considered lesser citizens and can't even go places without a male escort. I wouldn't like having those restrictions at all, and I'm extremely grateful that I live in a country that is working towards equality for women!

Goodwill!
Today was National Secondhand Wardrobe Day, so I thought it was appropriate to dedicate today's entry to Goodwill. It's one of my favorite stores. I know the idea of secondhand clothes gross some people out, and that's fine by me because it means I have less competition at thrift stores! Personally, I get sick of clothes pretty quickly and like to have quantity over quality, so Goodwill is a great solution for me, especially with the half off days, 99 cent tags, and student ID discounts. I can often find brand new stuff at Goodwill, so why wouldn't I shop there? Of course, I don't buy all of my clothes there. I have limits on underclothes and bathing suits. But, my spaghetti costume from last Halloween was from there, so let's see what I can find for this Halloween!
