There was a teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in Walmart
Hello Again,
So I know it isn't the very next day since I did my last blog but it is only a few days after so I applaud myself. Normally it's a few months after between blog entries so I would say I am doing pretty good.
So I was in Walmart Friday night and there was this little boy just running around and having a good time in a mask. You wouldn't believe it. I manage to get a picture of him from the back...
No merchandise was damaged during the taking of these pictures and we had a good time. Which is what is important. Next time your shopping and your kid is laughing and being loud and some random person who thinks they know everything is there watching in disgrace (because they are at such an elegant store such as Walmart) do me a favor and join in with your kid. Why? Because they are just this age once and you rather remember irritating rude individuals having fun with your kid then shopping trips being a nightmare because your kid was all happy and didn't know not to laugh too loud.
And I'm not telling you to let your children damage merchandise and steal and punch people. I'm saying there's a difference in having fun. being too strict, and knowing when you need to step in so things don't go too far.
*By the way this nice outfit he's having so much fun in was bought at Walmart.
That being said, enjoy your shopping trips to Walmart this summer. And if you're one of those rude people, do the world a favor and mind your own.
Sincerely,
Brittani Laws Writing

right before I got a picture from the front.
because he was my little boy. He was being a teenage mutant ninja turtle.

Happiness in Small Doses
When I was in college one of my good friends told me something that never went away. They told me happiness comes in small doses, a cigarette, a beer, a cookie. And I think that is true. Things go wrong all the time it's the small things in life that is happiness. The small things make up the bigger picture more then the bad things. I've wanted to do a fairy garden forever but never did. This year I bought the plants I wanted to go into a fairy garden and they sat around for months. Finally, I went to the store and looked around and bought some prices to go into my pot. Even though it didn't end up being a fairy garden I'm very happy with how it turned out. It is one of my small doses of happiness because sometimes happiness is in a garden.

The First Day of June 2016
Hello Again,
I know it has been a while (again). however for me it feels like it was just yesterday. I changed the layout for the blog up a little bit. I'm not sure exactly how well everyone is going to like it but I like it so I think I am going to keep it either way. Once when I worked for retail one of my good friends and managers told me, "Brittani, you got this, you have to quit second guessing yourself. So here's to no second guessing.
This month I am slowing back down. It is crazy how you can say I'm slowing back down and then find yourself rushing to do the things that you intended to help slow you down, isn't it. Anyways, back on subject, I am slowing back down some and am going to try and set myself some goals. I thought I would share them with you guys.
JUNE 2016 GOALS
1) Spend more time personally with God. (One way I am going to spend more time with GOD is this Lifeway Calendar Link)
2) Actually finish a knitting piece I am working on. (A good place to find great knitting projects is Raverly, but beware you will begin many and finsih less).
3) Learn a 5th song on guitar (google Tab Pro, I have a lifetime membership).
4) Start my French course (Rosetta Stone).
5) Start and Finish a book (I will let you know when I choose one).
6) Bloody Blog more often (Incase you don't know where you are at Brittani Laws Writing).
7) Remember it is okay to Add more goals and okay if I do Not complete all goals. This goal was important because 7 is a good number to end on.
Okay, so far so good. And these are my personal goals. I have accomplished a whole lot this year and always find doing and learning new things FANTASTIC. Since one of my goals is to blog more often hopefully you will hear more from me here lately. Who knows. right.
Sincerely,

March 26, 2016 "People Treat Me Different"
Hey,
Have you ever watched Lilo and Stitch?
There is this one scene. Lilo and Nani(Lilo's older sister) just argue and Nani comes in and tries to see if she's okay. Nani is holding Lilo on the bed and Lilo tells her she hit and bit Myrtle(a mean peer who always bullies Lilo). Right as Nani is about to tell her she shouldn't do that Lilo chimes in and says, "People treat me different."
This part in the movie I always remembered. I think this part right here I don't see Lilo I see myself. People treat me different. I wonder if everyone feels this way. Maybe we all have that sense of not fitting in and thinking maybe people treat us different or if maybe there is this group of people like me that just don't quit fit in with everyone else. That we're just a little bit different and people can't help but to notice it.
I missed the sunrise this morning but I did get to see my last one as 24 yesterday. I missed this sunset yet yesterday but maybe that's okay. Maybe a sunrise yesterday and a sunset today is better. It is kinda like a what was getting one last day and setting a new what is today.
I think the more I realize that, "People treat me different," the more happy I am with myself. Because people who don't get treated different don't get a friend alien from outer space and get to ride in rocket ships do they?
As for being 25, I can't say I feel any older or any different. I just feel the need to live. I was to climb mountains, swim oceans, maybe write a story, forgive and love. No sky diving though, I think I can live with myself if I never sky dive.

Late Night March 24, 2016
Hello Everyone,
It is 10;59 p.m. I am going to say it is 11 because by the time I am finished typing this sentence it probably will be. Today is one of the last days I am going to be 24. Probably not a big deal to most of you guys but to me it is. People become older every second of everyday so it doesn't seem like a big deal. However, the person who is turning older it is a big deal to them. Happy birthday to any of you guys out there I missed telling by the way. You're birthday is important to me. Without it I would have never met you and I am positive that I am very glad to have met you.
That being said on March 26 I will be turning 25. It seems like such a small number. It is a quarter of a century though and since many don't century I do intend to take care of my young life. I have taken the time to reflect on what in life I have done, all then many things I have enjoyed and if there were any regrets. Every year I find myself creating this list of things to accomplish and I seem to accomplish so much, some of the list and somethings I would have never dreamed I could do, but every year I also find myself thinking about what I haven't accomplished and how much more there is I want to do.
Thinking is hard sometimes. You have to find this healthy balance of concentrating of what is going on in the moment so you don't miss, what you want to accomplish can you can begin to accomplish and not over obsessing with things you want and haven't done and figuring out what you can live with if it never happens. Most people I have found give up. They just lay in bed and day dream about what they can and want to do but never have the courage to actually take a chance. Which is fine if you do it because you are happy and content with your life but so many people are not happy and they use that for an excuse to not do what they want because it is hard. Playing coulda shoulda woulda ones life seems so dreadful and unbearable.
Right now I think I am at this point of being content. I am happy with what I have accomplished and in the moment of my life I am in. Though there is still plenty I want to do I think I can happily say I am happy with my life. I have managed to meet so many amazing people and have done so many amazing things and am not even 25 yet. Just this year (since New Years 2016) I was making out a list of things I have done and came up with this;
1)I learned useful skills in knitting (How to do simple decreases, right twist, slip stitch, and left twist. 2) Learned how to sew knitting blocks together into a bigger piece.
3) Made my fist knitted hand towel
4) Finished complete seasons 1-8 of Doctor Who (and managed to get highly addicted. Really need to watch Season 9.)
5) Watched Complete Torchwood Series (was sad it was put off air before finishing up.)
6) Bought my first Playboy magazine
7) Won a Radio Contest
8) Have started learning Ukulele
9) Begin learning guitar and played through first song.
10) Learned to read tabs (guitar)
11) Made my third knitted wash cloth
12) Paid off my firs shed
And many little things that mean a lot to me and have plans on accomplishing so much more this next year. I just want to keep adding to my list and make it huge by the end of the year. That being said I think it is way past my bedtime. Want to get up and see my last Sunrise of 24 tomorrow and wouldn't dream of missing tomorrow's sunset either.
Goodnight,
