In following my week long theme of remembering old posts I looked through my October posts from last year. I couldn't choose just one post I loved, so here are 3 of my favorites.
I've been a Barbie for Halloween for over ten years!
What I think I look like vs. what I actually look like.
The first time my husband asked me out he was wearing eye liner.

Vintage Post: Maybe the best gift
A year and a half ago I posted this on my design blog (that is no longer). It really was one of the coolest gifts I ever received from my students.
April 17, 2012
Yesterday at the end of my interior design class, two of my students presented me with a special portfolio page. I have been teaching my students how to make professional portfolio pages for five years and so its a huge representation of who I am. To have them make me my own portfolio page to keep was so awesome! No one has ever done that for me before!
And it was a picture of Architect Barbie! I didn't even know they made one of those. To say this is really special feels like a big understatement!!
And on the back of every portfolio page is a description, so here is what they wrote for this one:
There are no words.

Vintage Post: Cannibalism
Here is a golden nugget from a past blogging life. Not very well written, which I think shows how much I've improved just by writing on a regular basis, so that's cool. But it is a really funny story and has a certain "Halloween" feel to it. Enjoy.
January 2011
Today I was eating my lunch next to the preschool, like I do every other day (usually). A mom and her son came looking for Gerry, the lady I work with and was eating lunch with. While the mom was asking Gerry about bringing a dog in for show and tell, the little boy was staring at me eating my lunch. When I pulled out my string cheese he didn't miss a beat. "Can I have a small piece?" What the??? I don't think small children should be accepting food from strangers, let alone ASKING for it. I said no, because I need food to feed the baby in my belly. He looked at my stomach in fear and said, "How did you get a baby in there? Did you eat it or swallow it?" Ha ha ha!! That's what happened to the last kid who asked for a piece of my string cheese! (Dang I wish I would have thought of that line earlier!)

Vintage Post: Jim and Pam saved my life
This post was originally posted on my old blog on January 21, 2010. As The Office is ending I thought it was a good way to pay tribute to the couple that saved me from a fate worse than death. I am not joking! To keep this post authentic, I kept it exactly as it originally posted, although there are a lot of changes I want to make! The episode I reference is episode 614, called The Banker and first aired on January 21, 2010.
No joke!! Even though I didn't really like the Office stooping to the level of so many other sitcoms by airing an episode created by compiling old clips, it did make me laugh. A lot. It was like some of the best moments from all 5 (or 6?) seasons all rolled into 22 minutes (that's not including commercials). Then at the very end there was the Jim and Pam montage and it reminded me of a journal entry I wrote just one week before Adam asked me out. I was lonely from ending another relationship and thinking about calling him just so I didn't have to be alone. But I was holding off by watching The Office and laughing out loud all alone. Then suddenly there was a moment on the show when Jim told the camera he was proposing to Pam and I felt a tingle go up my spine. Wow! I wished I could find a guy that made me feel that way! Of course the only guy I could think of that made me feel that way was Adam Thomas. What were the chances of him ever liking me, or asking me out?? I never got my way in love and relationships. In any case, that one moment kept me from calling an ex and holding out for real love. Luckily for me, it did turn out to be Adam!! Yeah, Jim and Pam saved me!!
