So today before classes I went to the mall in hopes to find something to wear for Thanksgiving and for pictures. I have the hardest time finding jeans because I have such an odd figure, my legs are so long its ridiculous...people say that's a good thing...but not when you are looking for jeans. I went to so many different stores and found jeans that fir perfect everywhere....except they were high-waders, which is ALWAYS the case. Guess that's the price I pay for being 5'9. Much to my amazment I went to one last store and they had THE PERFECT JEANS!!!!! I was so excited, I didn't even want to take them off to pay for them I did of course, but then I went straight to the bathroom to change into them :) I am just so excited that I actually found jeans to fit every area haha!
Speaking of "genes" I had to do my geneology for one of my classes and I have found out so much about my family that I never knew. Our family (matriarch side) only traces back 4 generations, because my great great great grandpa moved here straight from Scotland, and my great great great grandma moved straight from Ireland! Since taking this class, I've been so interested in tracing back family and finding out family secrets. I learned that my Grandma's brother died only 8 days after his 1st birthday, they don't know the exact reason but they believe it is from pneumonia. Her grandmother lost 2 children, one at age 4 and one at age 2. It's so odd to hear about this type of loss. I know that death is a taboo suject in our society, and to find this stuff out is so interesting to me. I hate to know that so many deaths like this occur, but at the same time I see that these women made it through losing their children and went on to have more children...13 more children to be exact... I don't believe I will be having that many!!!
