Title less

I got bad news today...

My aunt got hit by a car while riding her bike today in FL. :(
But THANK GOD, she's okay. Just really bruised up and she had to get stitches on her knee. Some young teenyboppers were talking and not paying attention while driving, and they hit her.

PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOU DRIVE.
YOU COULD GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND KILL YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE.

Other news, I did my first Family Story time at work last night. I was really nervous because it was going to be in front of almost 20 little kids AND their parents. So I was a bit freaked. BUT, I got through it, read my Halloween stories, danced, did a craft, and lived to tell about it. :-p

OH, and other BIGGER news, my birthday is in exactly 10 days.
Ahh, almost another year older.
WHERE DID IT GO?! Jeeze.

Well, I'm going to go snuggle with a book.

Love.

Saturday at the library

Well, today I had to work from 9am-5pm. It wasn't that bad actually. I cleaned and stamped books for about 6 hours straight so it made the work day go by very fast.

I also have a new found love for Timmy Ho's donut holes (or wholes?). One of the girls at work brought in a whole container thing of them (chocolate, plain, and blueberry) and we flocked like seagulls to them and scarfed them down.

I'm also still sick. First I had a cold, and then it turned into a pretty lovely cough. So I drank lots of coffee this morning and now I'm sucking on a Ricolla - Honey and Lemon flavor. It tastes kinda..odd..although, all cough drops aren't very good...except for Halls Fruit Breezers. Those are like candy. I need to get some of those guys....

Officially, my birthday is in.....1 week and 6 days! Finallly. Seriously. All of my friends are older than me. I feel like a kiddie.

More later.
Much love.

Greys Anatomy!

The Grey's Anatomy premiere is on on in exactly 7 minutes.

I'm super excited for the new season. I (as well as so many other fans) have been waiting for FOREVER for the new season to start.

And it's finally here.

The only thing i'm pissed about for the new seasons of shows coming on is that Lost starts sometime NEXT YEAR!

I'm sorry, but I love that show.

And keeping me hanging for this long is TORTURE.

Okay. 5 minutes till.

4....that's probably super annoying...SO i'm going to go.

Everyone should be watching at 9!!!!!!

Moody

I'm really not in much of a mood to blog at the moment.

Today was long and hot (I worked outside all day).

And now I'm watching the Emmy's but my t.v. keeps messing up the picture and sound.

Errrg. Today hasn't been the best day ever.

More tomorrow. :o)

Travel

So today was filled with very interesting stories and people...but I won't bore you with my blab's about that.

Instead, I feel like blogging about travel.
Yes, travel.

I haven't done much traveling in my lifetime (a whole 16, almost 17 years in 20 days). I have I guess you could call them goals in travel that I want to reach before I leave the earth.

I suppose i'll make a list of places all over the world that I want to visit off the top of my head:

1. Paris, France
2. Venice, Italy
3. Key West, Florida
4. London, England
5. Berlin and Munich, Germany
6. Athens in Greece
7. The Amalfi Coast, Italy
8. New York, New York
9. Hollywood, California
10. Ireland
11. Madrid, Spain
12. The Great Barrier Reef
13. Honolulu, Hawaii
14. Rome, Italy
15. Amsterdam (Anne Franks House)
16. Auschwitz

I can't think of any others at the moment.

But I want to travel A LOT when i'm old enough to go with a friend or someone I know. I would never go by myself. It's much too dangerous. But I would love to just travel all around Europe for a year. That would be amazing. Sure it'll probably be expensive, but it's a once in a lifetime thing. You're probably never going to see those places ever in your life (unless you have the time/money to travel whenever you wanted).

Oh and other news, my favorite band of all time the Shiny Toy Guns are coming to a city near me in October and I REALLY want to go. Tickets are only $15, but it's on a Sunday at 9PM. SO, I probably won't be able to go. :(

Maybe next time.....

Sick

I hate being sick.

Wednesday, I got the beginnings of a gnarly cold. Now it's Friday and I'm still stuffed up. So I thought it would be best to stay home from school and try to rest and get better. I just took some Dayquil so hopefully that'll help me breathe.

On Wednesday, my friend Holland and I joined our schools new Book Club. It seems like it's going to be a lot of fun. The first book we're reading is Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper. The librarian at the Media Center is buying books for everyone since I guess she gets them cheaper. So we're going to do some fundraising to help pay for the books. I've never been a part of a book club before. Hopefully I enjoy it!

Well, i'm gonna go rest and watch We Own the Night. Mark Walberg is super hot. ;-)

Busy busy busy

Hey all.
I have blogged in a few weeks ( =O ) but i'm here now.

These last 2 weeks have been SO busy. First, I started school. Then I had to work basically everyday after school (it's terrible). And then this weekend, I went on a mini-vacation to Mears, MI for a BBQ Competition with my family. AHH. I need to calm down and relax. I feel like i've been rushing everywhere these past weeks.

Anyways, yes, I started school finally. I'm in to my 3rd week. I already have a decent amount of homework which i'm incredibly angry about. But technically, I usually only have homework in 2 classes (physics and pre-calc)...of course. I strongly dislike science and math with a fierce passion. It's just not my thing.

Work work work. Last week I had to work Mon-Thursday 4-closing because I was taking Saturday off (to go on my vacation) and I had to make up my 8 hours. But thankfully, i'm going back onto my old schedule from now on and i'll have more days when i'm home and can get my homework done early.

Mears, MI. I love me some Silver Lake. That's where we went this weekend. They started a BBQ Competition/Apple Festival 3 years ago (we've been to all 3 so far), and it's a ton of fun. They have great bbq food and music and great activities and it couldn't be located in a more beautiful part of MI. Although, weather somewhat put a damper on it. Friday was nice. It was cloudy but thankfully no rain. Yesterday, though, we spent a few hours staying inside because it was raining out. But after about 2 in the afternoon, the rain let up and we got to walk around and look at the craft tents and watch the BBQ Competition winners. It was a good time. I wish I could have stayed up there longer...but unfortunately, I have school and work. :(

OHH! And other great news.....I BOUGHT A LAPTOP TODAY (i'm typing this on my new baby as we speak....). It's beautiful. It's a HP Pavilion. It came with a printer/scanner and a sweet Swiss Gear laptop backpack. It was a great deal. I'm so happy. :):):):):)

Well, I better be off to bed.

This weekend/today

So, there really isn't any new news with myself.

Except that I STARTED SCHOOL TODAY. My final year as a high schooler is already underway. I can't believe it's already here.

But before I go onto my school day, this weekend was seriously the laziest weekend of my life. I wanted to veg out as much as possible the last few days before I went back to school. So I definitely did. I did, however, do some much needed shopping on Monday. I bought: 3 lovely shirts, 1 oversized fleece blanket (LOVE IT), 1 pair of blue polka-dot sleeping shorts, 1 WWF tote bag where $2.00 from the purchase of the bag is donated to the World Wildlife Fund, 1 pair of capri pants, and 1 messenger bag for school. All in all, i'm pretty happy with my purchases.

Yesterday was spent watching re-runs of the Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency show. Talk about tough love. She tears most of her models to shreds. I would be crying all the time if I were one of her models. Yikes!

Okay, back to school. I suppose my classes a good. I've got lunch with people I know (thank God!) and I think it'll be a good year. Although, thanks to the LOVELY MICHIGAN WEATHER, it was about 98 degrees today (I checked on my car)! So classes were stiffling hot and I just wanted to take a long nice cool shower when I got home. But I couldn't, because now i'm at work.

Tomorrow's suppose to be cooler though....so pray for lower temperatures!!!!
