Today I learned that when I suddenly have extra free time (thanks to being laid off) but am sick and don’t feel up to leaving the house I can channel my bordom into creating a pretty awesome pumpkin.
This morning I heard about this fantastic website and since I had nothing else to do (since I had applied for the only job I could find that is even remotely in my field that I might be qualified for if the person reading my resume squints really hard) I decided to carve a pumpkin.
Of course my problem was I couldn’t decide on a stencil. I ruled out a few that I really wanted to do because lets face it no matter how much time I have I am not patient enough to carve Obama’s face on a pumpkin. Others I ruled out because they immediately brought racial slurs to mind even thought I KNOW that was not intended I just couldn’t choose those stencils.
However that still left me with way too many to choose from. I finally narrowed it down to 3 and decided “what the heck, its a big pumpkin”
The end result is
and
not the best pumpkin carving ever but definately my best work.
Just thought I’d share.
