15 things I'm looking forward to

Always a nice thing to think about. These are in no particular order!

  1. Getting my portfolio done. I will feel so relieved once it's done.
  2. Going to my friend Leah's wedding. It's in just over a month!!!
  3. Going to my brother's wedding. I'm so happy for him and so excited to get a new sister-in-law.
  4. One of my nephews' first birthday party. I should be able to go and it will be one of the cutest things in the world, I'm sure.
  5. Dogsitting. Puppy and I are getting some quality time soon.
  6. Planning a Halloween costume. I don't have ideas yet, but I'll think of some.
  7. More episodes of Are You the One?. Just a delightful reality show that I look forward to every week.
  8. Trying some new recipes. And really, mostly just eating the food that I make.
  9. Reading some books I have stacked up. I have so many books stacked up.
  10. Getting a job. It's gotta happen sometime, right?
  11. Throwing a murder mystery party. No idea when or where, but I want to do another.
  12. Labor day excursion. In theory I'm going (never know if somehow I'll end up with work that will keep me form it) with friends to Galena that weekend and it should be great.
  13. Dipping my feet in the lake. Gotta do this while the weather still permits.
  14. Getting farther in Wizards Unite. I'm enjoying this game greatly.
  15. Watching some family oral history. I gotta see the video of my grandpa talking about his journey from Ukraine/Russia (it's now Ukraine, but was Russia when he left).

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
