Poems =)

Have you, my readers, had a chance lately to just sit and immerse yourselves in other worlds by reading poetry?   I haven't of late either, I admit. But, here I give you one of my favorites. I'd love to hear what poems you love best!

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

WO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Happenings!

Ok, well have you heard of the game Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego? Just fill in my name and call it "Where in the World is Jessica Emerick?". Haha, I don't know where she is! =P

I have been between work and play during these two months but mostly the former has been happening. Especially these past 3 weeks since I was crazy enough to take on another part-time job, along with my 2 other ones. Yeah, that didn't last long ;) I can only keep up with so much and I learned the hard way. The Lord was able to give me strength while it lasted though. =)   

Here are some pictures of some things that I've been able to enjoy these two months!  (Those are easier to convey what I've been doing, and pictures are favorites of my readers ;) )   I'll start with the oldest events:

 We had a fun time celebrating Annie's 3rd Birthday! She had lots of presents. Grandma and Grandpa, Mom, Katie, Alley, and I were delighted to be able to come celebrate =D

 Cupcakes to go with...

 Her new play kitchen! So now she can "bake" to her heart's content!

These were her birthday cupcakes =D Little sunshines. They tasted so good! They were Red Velvet.

Annie drew this one day =D It's her first lady bug that looked like a lady bug =D

We also celebrated Mom's birthday! We got her a new digital camera and some fun office supplies and decorations. I was soo happy that she was able to visit us for a whole month!

Here is Yours Truly working with a wedding dress tailor, and this is the third job I mentioned. I was sewing on a bustle for one wedding dress here. I appreciated the chance that the seamstress gave me with her. =)

 Here is the apartment complex that I live in! I love our view from our patio, especially in the evening.

 This is our patio. I have so much fun gradually adding flowers and decorations to it.

 I recently bought these Autumn season flowers the little lantern lights on the railing.

 Just a preview for how I'm going to decorate this Fall! I can't wait.. =D

YAY! So this bag of loot I got today from Yankee Candle company in the mall! I couldn't believe that they were selling votive candles and tarts for only 1 dollar! I bought 3 tarts and 6 votives.... =D All different scents ready for the Fall and Christmas!

Well! There you have it! The two month review has hit the headlines! =D I'm glad I can update you all! I hope the next post won't be so long  in coming. (haha, no pun intended)  tee hee hee
