My first day in a #SpiritHood

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

I got my SpiritHood yesterday.  Of course I loves it.  It's awesome, and so crazy warm that it makes my brain feel melty.  And it's a great bargaining tool for my kids - I just say do this and I'll let you wear my SpiritHood.  My daughter calls it a Mane Wolf, whatever that means.  It is going to come in super handy on photo shoots since Colorado can feel like the arctic tundra sometimes.  Well not really, I'm just a bit of a winter puss. 

Anywhoozle, I took my momsie out for a photo shoot this morning (to not only celebrate my badass new camera but also her hotness), and I wore the hood (cute shadow, right?).  I wore it to pick up the camera, too.  Then I wore it to lunch at Subway.  And guess what?  No one was impressed.  Except me.

See, I live in this weird town.  It's full of oil riggers, meth heads and conservatives.  It's way Republican up in here.  People just do the same thing over and over, and there is this super smalltown mentality, even though there are over 100,000 people living here.  I got some really dumb looks.  Which is sooooo stupid because I look friggin awesome in this bad boy.  So I did what I always do when people give me weird looks (I rock a mohawk and have three kids at a young age - it happens ALL.THE.TIME).  I started acting like people were sooooooo jealous of me.  I looked at them like they were sad little puppies that just weren't cool enough to have a dope ass SpiritHood.  Oh you sad silly people, I feel sorry for you.  HAHA!  Totally works. 

Check 'em out - they really are super rad.

My first Randombling!  Yay yippee skippee!  So…hi.  Here is what’s going on in my life.  I have three awesome kids (like young kids, the oldest is 3 and the youngest is 4 months).  My hubbard is amazing and supports me in whatever I want to do.  I have my Bachelors degree in Biology.  I am a professional photographer. 

The end.  The thing is, I have no idea what I want to do with my life past all this.  Should I go to grad school?  I would love to get my PhD in Ethology (animal behavior).  Should I go to pastry school?  I would love love love to open my own bakery.  Should I just keep working on building my photography business?  It is getting quite strong and I am just getting better each day.  Frick, I don’t effing know one bit what I want to do.  It is so hard to make decisions for yourself when you have kiddos.  If I decide to go to grad school it will have to wait until they are all in school, so at least five years.  Cause there is no way I will ever be able to afford daycare for three kids, that’s just nuts. 

So anyways, on to a more stable note…LOVE my life.  Thank you all for reading the little nuggets I have been posting for you.  I have been having so much fun doing it, and it is sooo super cathartic for me to be able to just let go, say what I want to say and move on.  Seriously, AMAZING.  I recommend you all get a blog, a diary, or something.  I always have all kinds of shit to talk and an opinion on something, and telling Brian (that’s the nombre del hubbard) just wasn’t cutting it.  So again, thank you Miss Jen for the opportunity, and thank you TNTML community and readers for welcoming me and being so super de duper swell. 

To conclude this new addition to my verbal outlet, here is a little nugget of information:  Hippos are one of my favorite animals.  I know, I know, they are the most dangerous animal in Africa, and some years they kill more people than crocodiles and snakes combined.  Whatevs.  They are magnificent.  The word hippopotamus historically means water horse.  They are so amazingly graceful underwater, like ballerinas.  They also have two sets of ears.  Rad, right?  One for above water, and one for underwater.  Which also means they have two languages.  They are also vegetarians.  Legend goes that the river god was going to ban hippos from the waters for eating up all the fish, so hippos became vegetarians, and began to poo out the leftover greens, which fed the fish, so they were allowed to stay.  BAM – dropped a knowledge bomb on your asses!
