well

so, it's been a few days since i last posted, and i've begun to realize that when i wait a few days to blog i have so much i want to (really, that means that i've had a lot happen, and i've thought "i could blog about that") say that it gets overwhelming and so i wait longer...does that make sense?

i'm so ready for fall. there's just something about the season that makes it special. football, holidays, cinnamon, cool weather, mmm. i just love it. however, seeing all the fall stuff coming out in stores makes me want to spend money. on clothes, books, candles, music, etc. but especially on baking stuff!!!! fall foods are amazing, and i can't wait to be able to make them :) it's just about killing me having to wait til the season arrives simply for that reason.

the other day i was cleaning out my car because when we moved anna out of athens we had left some stuff in the car and i wanted to get everything out before it overtook my car. it was more of a maintenance cleaning than an all-out scrub down. so, while i was cleaning i found a couple of cds between the seats. i'm not sure where they came from or how they got there, because i cleaned my car out big time in the spring when the weather got warm enough and they weren't there. anyway, i found "now that's what i call music 5." that's right -- 5. from the year 2000. this is what i got to listen to the other day:
it's gonna be me, n sync. aaron's party, aaron carter. lucky, britney spears. jumpin' jumpin', destiny's child. absolutely, nine days. incomplete, sisqo. and more. does it take you down memory lane? it sure did me. back to freshman/ sophomore year of high school. so, if you're missing this cd, i have it.
and now i'm going to admit something i wouldn't normally admit. it may make a couple of you mad (becky :)). the other cd i found was winter wonderland with a lot of singers from the 40s (!!). i had forgotten i owned this cd. so, today on the way to genesis (which everyone in the area should come to), i listened to christmad music. yep. that's right. before september even begins, i listened to christmas music. i never do this. i actually usually get upset when people do this. but i did it. and loved it. and i may do it again.

this is completely irrelevant to most of you, but the other day i repainted my nails. they're now hot pink with a touch of sparkle. i pulled out the glitter polish :)

there's a lot of books i've never read that i think i should. so in borders the other day i bought anne of green gables and the prince and the pauper. any suggestions for future reading selections?

i think i'm going to leave you now. i'll try to be more regular with this.

lots of love to you, dear friend.

1. It does make me a little mad that you listened to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I thought we had been over this. I even shared it openly in front of 400 of my BCM friends.
2. Was the Now CD you found a burned one? Because I own that CD (sad, I know) and there is potential that I may have burned it for you.
C. Love you!

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

pigeon love

yesterday, i was walking to my car and heard a pigeon. this is not especially unusual because there are pigeons all over the place, their presence just outside my house encouraged by the bird feeder hanging from one of the trees. however, this pigeon caught my attention because it was loud, close and sounded strange. i looked down and saw this pigeon essentially pacing back and forth by the wheels of a car.... where his pigeon friend had been the wheel's unfortunate victim and was no longer with us.  y'all... the pigeon was mourning the loss of his friend. it was so sad and sweet and touching.  i honestly wish i had had a camera to capture the moment. but it got me thinking. about friends, family, community, etc. being missed. don't we all want to be missed and mourned like the poor pigeon was? the kind of people that make the world, our communities, our families, and our friendships better because we are a part of them? and isn't that wh...
