Read All About It

Today when I woke, I walked into my closet to try and determine what to wear. It was a typical summer day, which meant the humidity was high. I opened a window and felt how muggy it was and decided I was not going to dress up as usual for work. I opted for cream colored Capri’s. They are clingy, but comfortable and very cool. I dressed it up with a sleeveless top in a dark chocolate brown shade. I took a jacket off the hanger in dark turquoise color which I could easily remove later. I wore my high bronze platform shoes that are really quite comfortable. I sprayed my legs with a bronzer which makes me look I’m wearing hose. I completed the outfit with some pretty earrings in a silver tone, along with a silver bangle bracelet. I also opted for my cream colored shoulder bag, which is just big enough to carry my essentials and walked out the door.

In my spare time, I have quite a few things I like to do. I normally lift weights for fun. I find that it is an excellent time waster, and it’s good for my health. Another hobby of mine is collecting buttons. I have a container that holds all of my buttons, separated by color and size. My favorite hobby though, is leaf pressing. I have over 100 different types of leaves I have pressed. I keep them all in a special scrapbook that has information on each leaf. I’m always on the lookout for special leaves. It’s so much fun because everywhere I go I’m always alert, looking for that beautiful leaf that I don’t have in my collection. When I can’t do my other hobbies though, I resort to crosswords. Crosswords keep my mind sharp, while keeping me entertained. There are so many different ones that I never get bored with them. Everywhere I go I have my crossword book and a pencil.

Last night I had a pork chop for dinner. We had grilled it last week with some flavored rub, and I was worried that it would go bad. I had a terrible time figuring out what to make with the pork chop that would be healthy and quick, as I had gotten home late and was tired. I decided upon a frozen package of vegetables called Healthy Vision; it contained zucchini, green beans, and carrots. It was easy to microwave, tasty, and only 45 calories per serving. My next decision was what else to make as a side. I settled upon a serving of Goldfish crackers, as they were cheddar flavored and I had been craving cheese. My dinner was a little unusual, but it worked, and I was happy with it. It was easy to heat up and easy to eat, and it was fairly low in calories.

For my last vacation, some friends and I decided that it would be fun to drive about 8 hours down the coast and camp on the Delaware Seashore. We booked a campsite, packed a tent and some sleeping bags, and headed down the thruway. Things were going great until six hours into the trip when we hit backed up traffic. The last what should have been 2 hours of the trip took five and a half hours! When we finally arrived at the campground, we were informed that there were no campfires allowed. We were disappointed, but were still excited to be at the ocean. After hitting the waves for a few hours, we started to feel refreshed after all the driving. Things were looking up. Unfortunately, when we undid the tent bag, things went all wrong again. In the tent bag, we found not a tent, but a simple tarp. My friend’s dad had moved the tent and replaced it with the tarp. We spent the next three nights sleeping in the open air on a tarp because we could not afford the expensive hotels in the area. Thankfully, it did not rain.
