i'm boring

happy veteran's day! and happiness to all of you who have the day off tomorrow--i'm jealous!
for the record--i have completed 3 (yep, that's right THREE) home improvement projects today! not that y'all care, but it's kind of nice to be able to fix something and not have to pay for it to be done ;) AND its over 70 degrees here today--WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thursday night line up

so is every episode of grey's going to end up with the impression that merideth is going to FINALLY give mcdreamy more? i'm over it. btw, sorry these posts are short--i feel really uninspired. hopefully that will end soon!

hump day

ssdd. my back hurts. i had to get new brakes today. but i got to have mexican for dinner. somehow, its all better.

if you can't say anything nice, come sit by me!

is there a movie that you absolutely love? I have 2. steel magnolias and sixteen candles have lines that can make me laugh when things are at their worst. something about a favorite movie makes me happy. and watching them(when its cold and there's a fire in the fireplace) is even better!

last christmas...

when do you start listening to holiday music? i'm not quite ready, but i can feel it coming on. the cold weather is starting to really come along with a bang and i'm getting excited about a cold christmas(last year's was in florida). but how soon is too soon? i don't want to ruin the season by extending it for TOO long, but i also want to enjoy it as much as i can...whaddya think? is the holiday season commercialized for too long each year?

autumn leaves start to fall

so, today I had the opportunity to really notice all the beautiful leaves that have changed in the past few weeks. how could anyone really not experience autumn? college football, cooler weather, fireplaces and warm blankets. in essence, i have a new appreciation for this season. i missed it last year, only exposed on a few select weekends to the brutal cold that affects the northern states. i'm SO GLAD i'm here now. i wouldn't trade anything for this time of the year. even for laying out in the sun every weekend :)

GO TIGERZ!

mizzou is on their way to becoming 8-1 this season. if you live in columbia or are a tiger fan, this is a big deal. we are in the top 10 for the first time since i was 4 (and no, i am not 6 now). why oh why couldn't the cubs have this kind of luck????

really, its FINALLY here?

remember when you were a kid and certain days would NEVER arrive? that was today for me. although i have to return to hell on monday, i have 2 whole days to not be there, and boy am i happy. it is slated to be a beautiful fall weekend, and hopefully i will complete my home improvement projects in time to enjoy it. (yes, you read the previous sentence correctly--i will be completing the sanding and painting of a ceiling this weekend). wish me luck :P

day 1

can you believe it's november? somehow that means the holidays are near, which means more shopping...yay! part of me can't wait, the other part is dreading getting everything together. gifts for NINE nieces & nephews? BUT, then there's the decorating :) nevermind....bring on the season!
