brain dump

Here are other things I've been thinking about lately:

- I wish Texas had more of a Fall. It's been chilly and rainy here for the past two weeks-- Justin is sick of it but I just LOVE the change in the seasons and am always SO ready for rain at the end of summer. This weekend it is back to 80 degrees and sunny. Very good for golf carting... but I just wish it was cold already! Miss that Nor Cal weather...

- Speaking of Nor Cal, I really hope my sister, Jen makes it up to Apple Hill this year with her camera and posts on it! If anyone knows of a place in Texas like this I want to know about it! http://applehill.com/

- Who has plans for Halloween? I think this year is going to be pretty low key for us. We haven't heard of anything going on and I'm pretty sure I have to work that weekend. On that note, can someone PLEASE dress up as Jon Gosselin this year?? Ed Hardy sweatshirt, slicked back hair, diamond earrings. Funniest Halloween Costume of '09

- Is it me or is EVERYONE pregnant right now?! I now know of 7 people that are prego! Between March and June there are going to be some serious babies born! Saweeet!

- I am going to step out on a limb and say that I like tights. I have never worn them in my adult life (although when my Mom was still choosing my outfits she was obsessed-- see below) but I think I would like to venture there again... how do you wear tights? under a dress?


("tights" circa 1997)

- I got an 83% on my Psych test today!!!! I know that doesn't seem impressive enough to warrant all those exclamation points but 100 questions on Neuroscience and Biological Relationships isn't that fun.

- Was I not the cutest, fattest bunny you have ever seen?! This is probably my favorite picture of myself as a baby-- taken my first Halloween. I just love the pure joy on both of our faces.




- I'm obsessed with sour candy lately. Here are my top 3 favorites-- Sour Patch Kids and Watermelons, Starburst Sour GummiBursts and Watermelon Sour straws-- I feel like a 2nd grader buying them at 7-11, but I don't care, they're delicious!

- Rocky has been going to the dog park almost every other day! We found a really cute park about a mile from our house and there are always such cute, fun dogs for Rocky to play with! It's a great way for him to burn all that energy and he just loves to play with all the other dogs. The only downfall is he has to get a quick bath when we get home-- the mud is sick!

- Justin's birthday is in 13 days and I have no ideas...

Tomorrow J and I are headed to the Texas State Fair! I can't wait to see the baby pigs in the nursery and get a corndog (weird correlation there) and J is excited for the car show!-- such a boy. Pictures to follow soon!

TODAY
August 26, 2009
I am thankful for... my boy. He bought me a brand new mini- laptop last night (pictures soon!) so that I could do my homework at home and stop stressing about my poo laptop that hasn't worked correctly in months. and he also did the dishes tonight. Love him
From the kitchen... I just threw together some dinner! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts- dredged in egg and breaded with smashed tortilla chips. After I cooked it in the oven, I topped it with guac and sour cream with spanish rice on the side mmmm
I am wearing... sweats... and socks for the first time in months! Cozy
I am creating... not so much creating, but definitely trying to organize myself for this semester-- have many new school supplies to help with that (folders, pencils, notebooks, markers-- love school supplies!) and can't wait to use them all!
I am going... to bed soon! 6:00 AM comes EARLY on Tues. /Thurs.
I am reading... Girl, Interrupted. Never saw the movie for some reason, but the book was on sale for $3 so I thought I would check it out. Pretty good so far.
I am hoping... to be able to lay out by the pool sometime this weekend! I need to soak up the sun for as long as I can before Fall rolls in... although I received a catalog today with pumpkins on the front and I have to admit I squeeled with delight!
I am hearing... the a/c rattling in our apt-- and the slight sound of basball coming from the living room-- if the rangers are playing, our tv is always tuned to that... ugh
Around the house... the pups have finally calmed down and i think J might be passed out as well...
One of my favorite things... is seeing someone do something nice for a complete stranger, without any obligation or hidden agenda. warms my heart
A few plans for the rest of the week... second day of school tomorrow-- shopping with J on Friday for some house stuff-- and finding a dress for the mitchell- jacobs wedding next weekend- very excited for that!
