Over break, I visited my Aunt Jo in Tennessee.  Aunt Jo likes self-help books.  So much so that she gave me one to take home.  I didn't really want to take it home, but I did anyway.  It's Self Matters by none other than Dr. Phil.  (This is before he sold out.)  I haven't read the book yet (and I don't really think I will), but when I was browsing ( Read more... )

I learned how to knit last night!  My friend Melissa taught me.  I've been feverishly knitting ever since then.  The scarf I'm working on is hideous.  Check it out:

This is a meme that Caitlin and Katelyn did.  Kate invited anyone who wants to do it to do it, so I'm going to do it!  It's always good to remind ourselves of what makes us happy!

3. Naps.  Warm cozy ones.
4. Hoppy, my 3 ft. tall stuffed rabbit

I'M THE HEAD RESIDENT OF BARRETT HALL NEXT YEAR!!!

Let me tell you about the third worst day of my life.  Here's how it goes:

Today is Saturday, and I typically work at the James City County / Williamsburg Rec. Center.  I didn't expect to work today, but my boss had forgotten to give me the schedule, and I was on it.  I found this out when he called 2 days ago with the following message: "Hey ( Read more... )

So it's the first day of classes today, and I am painfully bored!  I don't have any classes on Mondays or Wednesdays, so I have nothing to do.  Everyone else is in class.  I entertained myself this morning by experimenting with make-up and getting dressed up.  And that's pretty much been my day.

Once I get work to do, I'm sure I won't be so bored

I just watched part of the season premiere of American Idol.  I am totally better than a lot of the people they let through!

Sometimes when I drive around by myself and sing to the radio, I wonder what song I would use for my audition, but I've never come up with anything good, something that really shows off my vocal qualities.  My last audition ( Read more... )
