Just for Fun on Friday

Its Friday!! While the winter weather starts to bear down on us here in Dallas, I thought I’d share just a few things that brightened my week!

Girl Toys

If you haven’t seen this video you should:

I work in the construction industry and I’m one of very very few women in the field. And if you missed it, I shared a few feelings about Women and Tools a few months ago. If you have a little girl… teach her to love math and science and engineering… or at least give her that option. I was very lucky my parents did.

Thanksgiving

I have seen more houses with Christmas lights up, trees being decorated, Christmas on display. I understand that retail stores need to meet their quarterly earnings and spread out their Christmas sales, but a little part of me dies inside at the thought of casting aside one of the very few holidays that is truly about giving thanks, spending time with family and relaxing in order to buy more things for people who don’t really need them. So my Christmas lights are still in their box, and this is on the chalkboard that welcomes me home every night. (copied from this pin)

Ode to Joy

This is a video I’ve seen a few times, but it just resurfaced on my Facebook feed, and I never get tired of the beautiful music, the feeling of spontaneity and the cute kids pretending to conduct the orchestra.
