Labor Day Weekend

This weekend has not been the fun, exciting, adult weekend that I thought it would be, but it has at least been relaxing. Yesterday it rained really hard, so there was no pool time to be gotten. I spent the day with Gabby and Josh kind of shopping. I finally got new black flip-flops, and I bought 5 new books from Half Price. I love that place. I've only discovered it in the last 6 months...I knew it was there, I was just hooked on Barnes & Noble...There are some very strange peopel in there though! You could just people watch all day there I'm sure!

Today the sun is out, and I will definitely be making it to the pool. Tomorrow holds laundry and homework. Later today maybe I'll actually get around to cleaning. The air is getting cooler and that usually makes me feel restless, and I want to do a lot more.

Aaron wants to do measurements tomorrow...not happening!!! I'll just go warm-up before he can catch me, and then he won't do them!!! HA! My workout on Friday was horrible. I was really tired, and I hadn't been in the gym for a week, so I was having to teach my body how to do things again. We laughed really hard about...welll...SOMB...I'm just gonna have to find out for myself and report back.

I bought this DVD yesterday...it's the international uncut version of The Professional...I think it's called Leon. The guy at the register really felt the need to tell me all about the uncut parts...I think he was just trying to feel smart. It was a lot like talking to Josh...lol. Speaking of Josh...he was really upset that I bought this movie...he wanted it for himself...EVEN THOUGH every other time I wanted to buy the regular version he always said, "NO!!! Wait until you find the uncut version...it's so much better!" But now he's upset that I found it and bought it first I guess...dork! He says this about every movie I want to buy - "Wait to find the uncut version!"...Almost Famous, Original Sin, and plenty more I'm sure...I've had way to much caffeine this morning...I think my brain is overloaded and not properly functioning...Funny.

BOOKS:

I haven't read them yet, but these are the 5 books I just bought, and I will report back later on if they are must reads or not. I'll read anything and everything that's put in front of me, so I'm not a very good book shopper because I'll just pick up anything...but you never know...I find great books like that all the time!

1) Fall on Your Knees - Ann-Marie MacDonald
2) Song of the Exile - Kiana Davenport
3) Rich in Love - Josephine Humphreys (love the movie version!)
4) Jigsaw - Sybille Bedford
5) Legends of the Fall - Jim Harrison (one of my favorite movies as well!)

Creativity Week #2 starts tomorrow: In week two I will come up with the title to my biography, invent a new type of soup, name a rock band, and paint my fingernails ten different colors (Gabby can definitely help me with that one!)

As long as I am reporting on the media in my life at this moment, I guess I might as well say that everyone NEEDS to check out this band called Flogging Molly. The cd, Drunken Lullabies is so...I don't know what, but I can't stop listening to it!!

...off to the pool...hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend as well...

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
