7 Quick Takes Friday

I found this on Pinterest and thought that it was funny.

Even though I have probably beaten this subject to death already I had to bring up exercise again. A while ago it was suggested to me by my wonderful parents to start keeping track of all of the food that I eat so that I can watch calories and such and work on losing weight. Though I hadn't started doing that right away I have decided to start doing it, especially while I'm at work, and I only remembered the suggested when a friend of mine posted a link to a website called SparkPeople. The website helps you keep track of what you are eating, training and stuff like that so I decided to give that a try as well.
Though they started back in April 2012 The Lizzie Bennet Diaries "an online modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice" is a fun series on youtube that I think any Jane Austen fan would enjoy. If you haven't seen them yet but want to watch them the complite playlist can be found here. The same group of people that created The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has started doing a modern adatption of Austen's book "Emma." Though there are only 36 episodes so far I like it, especially their version on Miss Bates.
Next week is mid-terms which means one more week til Spring Break!!!!!!!! Though I am enjoying my classes this semester I am looking forward to spring break.
On what I am going to start calling Wacky Weather Wednesday we had more snow, after two days of being 50 degrees out. Even though it started Tuesday night with hail it turned into snow on Wednesday. I am starting to get tired of the snow and am ready for more warm weather and spring.
About a week or so a go I took a bunch of pictures for an upcoming issue of Ink and Fairydust and I like how this one turned out.

I hate it when I can't come up with things to write about for my quick takes and this is the spot for random stuff since I forgot about what I was going to write about. Some times I should start making a list of ideas of what I should post so that I can actually write stuff instead of complain about not knowing what to write for blog posts.

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
