Happy October!

Happy October everyone (even though I'm a day late)!!

And while it just basically turned into the fall season a few days ago, the temperature in good 'ol Michigan is freeeeezing.

I have been bundled up all day. Tomorrows high is going to be 56 degrees, and I'm already regretting going to a football game. I'm going to have to definitely wear layers, and bust out my shoes!! Sorry flip-flops..you have been very good to me.

Other news, the V.P. Debate is on tonight, and I'm planning on watching SOME of it. I would like to go to bed early tonight to try and catch up on some shut eye.

I took this quiz on ABC.com : http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/MatchoMatic/fullpage?id=5542139
and it matched me up with McCain. While McCain isn't a terrible Presidential Candidate, I also like Obama. I wish there was a McBama....

Last night I stupidly left my contacts in and I woke up around 4am with my eye's pasted shut. It was very interesting. I had to get out of bed, and rip them out of my eyes so they wouldn't stick in the morning. Just an interesting little fact to share. :-p

Tomorrows Friday! Finally.
Another week has past.

TGIFT. (thank gosh it's friday tomorrow)

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. ;-)
