i hate playing phone tag

i've been doing it all day with multiple friends

it drives me crazy

kinda obsessed with her..

freja beha erichsen

eleven.

11. nicknames & why you have them

smurf- grandpa rog gave me this name when i was a youngster & calls me it still to this day.

i think its because i walked at an astonishing 7 months so i looked like a little smurf running around. im one of the only grand children with a nick name- i like to tell myself im the favorite.

soso- it started with my little brother tate. he couldnt say my name so he called me soso instead. then it stuck. sylvie called me it. & now little surie punk-a-doodle calls me this.

74- at school we all have numbers. & they have sort of become our nicknames. we will be walking around a store and someone in our "posse" will get lost- call out their number and BAM.. they are found.

mary- elderB calls me this when im wearing my grouchypants

soph.sophs.sopha.sophalophagus.sophalopher. sophaloafabread.wiggers.

all randoms i guess.

im off to vegas with the family for the week for thanksgiving break

yippie

i think im the only one on this earth that hates thanksgiving dinner

ill probably be eating some yummy toast

but thats beside the point

thanksgiving isn't about the food.. but about giving thanks of course

i have lots to be thankful for

its always nice to set aside life for a bit and think of all the blessings each one of us has been given

i am so lucky

hope everyone has a very happy thanksgiving

xoxo

"caught ya"

at school we have a caught ya board where we can leave little notes to each other when we see someone do a nice deed towards someone else

or just to tell them we love them and are thinking of them.

i must say- a lot of the time the poor caught ya board is pretty empty.

so the other day laurie lou and i blew it up. we wrote all our learning leaders. everyone up at the front desk. and all our friends + more. it was covered from the both of us.

when i looked at it today it was even more full.

i felt pretty proud knowing we had started a trend.

but more than that it made my day knowing that people were taking notice and complimenting others and making their day too.

i know i always feel good when i get a note from someone telling me that they love me or just giving me a compliment. i feel like everyone should compliment others more often, even if its just a little one. you never know if that little compliment could have a huge impact on them.

i feel like i want to start a "caught ya" post on my blog.

by highlighting those in my life- or randoms that i see doing nice deeds towards others.

its my blog and i can do whatever i want so im going to do it.

keep posted because you never know if you could be the one im spotlighting!

xoxo
