Last night Corinne, Kacey, Hannah, and I decided that we were going to go get some dinner out since we were all starving. Chilis is having that amazing 2 for $20 dollars deal so we totally took advantage of it. It was the first time we had all been out to an actual sit down dinner together and it was a lot of fun. The Pike is a really cool place to eat and walk around, if you're in the LB area you should check it out.
Walking across the bridge.
The rest of our evening was spent at our house. We swam in the pool, did homework, watched part of "The Swan Princesses" and then switched to "Anastasia", took pictures with fake mustaches we got at Ralph's, and laughed a lot. I think the following picture is going to be one of my favorites. We were tired and giggly and it was awesome.
I slept through my alarm this morning. Probably didn't have the volume up loud enough to compete with my two fans that work overtime throughout the night to keep me cool. So no church for me today, which actually made me a little sad. When I realized I'd never make it in time I went back to sleep for a little bit and then I got to wake up to some pretty cute text messages from my boyfriend (insert smile here).
My morning has now been spent reading some new blogs that will most likely become favorites and drinking coffee. I would say that it's a wonderful way to spend a fall morning, but it's probably going to be eighty degrees today, so it's just a wonderful way to spend a weekend morning. Happy Sunday!
I think it's one of my favorite seasons. I've been looking at fall clothes online and I can't wait for this dang hot weather to end! A few nights ago we decorated for the season/Halloween. Is it just me or do we also have a giant "M" in the window?
This morning I received some awesome text messages from my mom! I am officially a published poet in "The Chiron Review"! How awesome is that? My two poems from last semester, The Payback Dance and Midnight Music, are in their autumn 2010 edition.
I don't think I'll be able to stop smiling for awhile. Hope all of your weekends are off to an awesome start like mine!
Just came home for my break to grab some food and turned on the TV to watch the morning news and still can't believe what I heard. You think that law makers in California would have way more important things to worry about than what sort of meals fast food restaurants can include toys in! Seriously?
Apparently in San Francisco law makers passed a law stating that fast food chains can no longer include toys with all their kid meals. Now they can only include them in meals that have a serving of fruit or vegetables included with the meal and have less sugar, fat, and sodium. I don't know about you, but I've kinda noticed that California isn't doing that great as a state....maybe it's just me, I dunno but, I wonder if we as a state would be in a better place if politicians and lawmakers focused on more important and less trivial issues. What do you think?
Today I had a degree advisement appointment at school. Going into it I was super nervous because I had been navigating all of this by myself so far and there was always the possibility that I had screwed something up; however, that is not the case! I'm going to be a college graduate in eight months for sure. I'm so excited! Now I just have to make it through the rest of the year with good grades and lots of fun memories.
Today at Rock Harbor, we heard about Chad Coltman's, one of the teaching pastors, obsession with the most magical place on earth. He was so convincing of its awesomeness that Corinne and I just had to go there, even if it was to only get the tiniest taste of it. So after lunch we headed over to Downtown Disney to walk around. Let me tell you, it was torture not being able to go in. I think I'm gonna get a pass, which is actually very reasonable if you do a payment plan. Anyways, here's some pictures from the afternoon. I love how everything is decorated for fall!
The rest of my day was spent studying for my first midterm of the semester. Yikes! Let's hope I nail it. Have a good night everyone!
Corinne Elizabeth Walker is coming to see me in Long Beach today and we're gonna spend the weekend together. This woman has been so busy for the first month of school that we haven't really had time to hang out. I'm beyond excited to get in some best friend time!
