Hello children!

I am very, very much enjoying Fink's Distance and Time album. Seriously. Add it to your list of albums to listen to whilst winding down. Also, add it to your list of albums to listen to while riding/driving at night during the change of season where you can ride with your windows down and enjoy the evening. I do realize the latter list has a very long title, but it's a real list title.

Okay. You know those red roller ball ink pens. The ones where the pen has a window on the side of it and you can see the ink in it. Yeah, those. Unless you want to have to scrub a good, um, 4-and-one-half layers of skin off of your body, do not write on yourself with said pen. I'm just saying.

*Note to viewers: I do realize the picture should be vertical. I was too lazy to fix said problem. I'll admit that.

On a parting note, my reading addiction has cycled back to full speed ahead mode. I've read approximately 4 books within one week. This could almost be a record for me. I can't prove that, but we'll say that it may officially be if we start keeping record now.

Okay peeps. I'm peacin' out, yo.

The End.

Hello children!

It is, according to Yahoo! Weather, 63 degrees outside and it is, according to the fact that it has been practically pouring down ever since 5ish this afternoon when I had to be at work, very rainy. Moral of the story: I'M EFFING ECSTATIC!!!!

Ga-ga-ga-glorious! I tell you! Glorious! Until just recently in the evening, I have been curled up in SpongeBob sleep pants, a sweatshirt and thick socks reading in the chair in the living room listening to the satellite Indie Rock station buzzing in the background. I only took a break so that I could let all of you know this and wallow in your jealousy of my joyousness. True story.

So, speaking of Indie Rock, I'd like to thank the soundtracks of a few movies, namely Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, for re-igniting my fiery love for said genre. I've been submerged in the Singer/Songwriter genre up until almost a week ago now. Not a bad place to drown, mind you, but the Indie Rock pool is totally worth jumping in and doing a few face-down floats* in. *Don't question that terminology. You know exactly what I speak of. You're guilty of participating in that funness when you were once young.

Updates:

Last weekend I took part in a student/youth conference in Roberta, GA at Camp Eunice. Good fun. One of my friends, who also was a volunteer, took her awesometastic camera and used her awesometastic photographic eye and took a few pics. I'll have to snatch some off of facebook and post them for your viewing pleasure.

I am almost finished with my second baby quilt. WOOO!!! This one is for my nephew, Eli, who is due to grace us with his presence around the time of Turkey Day, mainly Black Friday... Fingers crossed that he comes on his expected date. I'm excited beyond words can probably describe.

End of Updates as of now.

P.s., I'm all hyped-up hyper 'cause of the weather. As if you couldn't tell by my chatterbox blog post...

Okay. I'm going to go work on Eli's quilt some more so it'll be finished even quicklier than planned. Peace out.

The End.

Hello children!

Sorry for the lackage of updatage since last postage.

Pictures are coming! I haven't forgotten! They just aren't going to be posted at this point in time. My apologies...

This past weekend I traveled down to Roberta, GA to Camp Eunice for a youth conference called StandOut. A friend of mine was in charge of designing, putting together, executing, etc. this shindig. I volunteered to help out with music. There were about seven of us that comprised the band that played for the conference. It came together well, according to feedback, despite the fact that we only had one practice prior to the weekend that consisted of ALL band members. So, yeah. I had a blast being off work and road trippin' to do something I love. I mean, how can you not? Hahaha!

Moving on...

Well, I can't believe I'm about to say this but... Good-bye September, it's almost as if you didn't exist you came and went so fast.

Seriously?! How are we on the last day of September already? I thought the month just started! This is crazy.

I am, however, quite the excited about the Fall weather rolling in. Gloriousness! Hoodies A-hoy! The windows in the house are open. Soooooo lovin' this.

Okay, then. I have to go get ready for work. First day back in a week. Peace out, yo.

The End.

Hello children!

I finished painting yesterday! Yay! Rejoicing all around! I've moved all my furniture back in and set in place. I've, for the most part, placed everything back on proper shelves, corners, etc.. I still have a few things that I have to figure out where they will go now. That's always the crap part about doing this sort of thing, yeah.

I'm on this big Greek Mythology kick now thanks to Rick Riordan and his lovely Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. I've read the first three of his five-book series. Sooooo good. If you have young children, these are great read-aloud books. If you have young children who enjoy reading, these are great! Riordan does a brilliant job in writing from the perspective of an adolescent boy. Very humorous and very believable that a 12 year old boy could be telling this story (and onto 13, 14, 15 and 16yrs.). This series is definitely on the top of my recommendation list right now. Even if it's reading for teens (who aren't "too cool" to read this stuff), 20-somethings and so forth.

I'm very much ready for the movie adaptation of The Lightening Thief to come out in February of 2010. Of course I expect to be slightly disappointed, 'cause let's face it, when are you not when a really good book is put to film? Until that time can come I'll just have to settle with reading the series, picking up some ol' Edith Hamilton and watching Disney's animated Hercules (which I'm watching now). hahaha! (Side note: For those of you who have stumbled upon this and are thinking, "Wow. She's a dork." I say, "Welcome to the group. We've already established this.")

P.s., I really, really am loving my freshly painted room. And, no, for some of you, not just because of the lingering fumes from the paint, but the colors. Ahhh... It's slightly odd. I'm still getting used to it not being blue. It's been blue for the past 6-7 years and is now a caramel/coffee and an olive green color. It matches my nephew's nursery, which was totally NOT planned at all. Hahaha! My room is slightly darker-shaded than his. I'm working on "before" and "after" pictures to post, so, those will be up soon.

Okay. I'm peacin' out to try to find more new homes for some of my stuff. Word to your mother(s).

The End.
