Christmas to do list:

 Here is a handy to do list now that the Christmas season is really upon us. I hope this will help you stay organized while appreciating the spirit and joy of this holiday. We all know they can get a little stressful, but if we keep organized and focus on blessings and gratitude, there is nothing we can’t handle.  1. Put up your decorations. You can go minimal or bold but we all know the importance of some decor. Hopefully the second your tree is up you’ll instantly feel more Christmasy.  2. Volunteer or help someone in need. This is a little cat with special needs. Sometimes he wobbles when he walks. I love him. Spread the Christmas love this season.  3. Dream of a white Christmas, and take advantage of the snow days we do have. Snowball fights, snow angels, sledding, the possibilities are endless. Spend these days outside and don’t waste them.

But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I couldn’t find anything

  This is such an easy slime recipe you’ll hardly believe it!  Just mix up 4 cups of shaving cream, four tablespoons of contact solution, and 2 cups of glue. Add food coloring if you want. Then you just mix it until it feels like your arm will fall off. Easy as that.  Have fun slime makers!
