Be Scrappy!

Just today, I decided on this as my new motto, in commemoration of what I've learned during my year in New Brunswick, and in preparation for 4-7 years of grad student poverty starting this Fall. (Yes, that's right! I got accepted! Yay me!)

me: I thought our whole summer would be non-stop wedding!

Brian: no

can't afford that!

14:59 me: haha!

eat our fill at wedding buffets and fast inbetween haha

be scrappy!

that is my new motto.

Brian: be scrappy?

me: yeah

Brian: feisty?

me: no...

15:00 Brian: fight?

live modestly?

me: resourceful, tough, non-materialistic, adjective for scrapper (source: dictionary of pam)

15:01 stretch any scrap of resource to its fullest extent!

for success and for enjoyment!

fight off bears fight off nay-sayers, fight off mean old scholars!!!

I think that is what describes New Brunswickers

Scrappy!

Always having gotten by on little

15:04 and still knowing how to milk fun out of every moment

Tough, cultured and resourceful!

Brian: that's a good attitude

!!!!

me: You're scrappy too!

(It's a great compliment)

Brian: You're scrappy

15:05 You're scrappy too!

me: Scrappers survive apocalypses

Thanks!

15:06 Brian: We'll survive the apocalypse together!

Here's an old black and white cartoon from the 1930's about Scrappy the adventuresome kid. I love how much heart and spunk he has! I think he represents my inner scrapper.
