Good day.

For a change, today was good. I was legitimately happy, which has been rare over the past month. And more updates about my humdrum life.

WASHINGTON, D.C

OR BUST!

I leave Friday morning for the nation’s capitol and I couldn’t be more excited.  It should be a good time.

I’m riding down with a group of my good friends from the College Democrats (16 of us total going).  Plus, my friend is driving me and another one of my friends.  Singing along with music for the six hour drive in the back seat should be an experience.

I am looking forward to the metro, the national mall, monuments, museums, shopping, nightlife, etc.

And there is the possibility of a hotel party (and swimming!!!!!!!!!!).

I am totally stoked!  So…if you’re in the area, hit me up.  Otherwise…I’ll post pics for the rest of you all to be jealous over!

too many people

So I decided to be motivated today and do some things.  I have a VERY limited time left at home and civilized life with a car and shopping, etc.  I go to school in the boonies next weekend.  I am excited, but will miss home and the advantages it has.  However, I will be so glad to be back at college and be surrounded by my friends again.

So I sized my watch today and got that all taken care of.  I am glad its done.  Check one.  And the lady was very nice, which I appreciated!  I then went on a little drive looking and scoping some things out.  Stopped by work to pick up my pay stub so they didn’t murder me for leaving it there.  Then I headed for the mall.  I took the back way because I wanted to avoid traffic.  It was rainy and gross…and people get crazy when it is like that and lots of accidents occur.  So, I played it safe and stayed out of traffic for the most part.  The mall was absolutely packed.  I drove all the way there, so I kinda wanted to take advantage of it, but there were so many people (who were RUDE and ignorant) so I just decided to get in and get out.  I had to park 03924902384 miles away and then i fought through the crowd to look at Hollister, Gap, AE and Aero.  Hollister was LAME…nothing new…and kinda busy…so I just left.  Gap was nice.  Didn’t see anything (other than thermal tees – YES!) that tickled my fancy…so I moved on to AERO.  It was a MESSSSSSS!  I couldn’t even walk around.  I wouldn’t have went in if I didn’t have a gift card there.  But I couldn’t really look and everything was a mess, so I just left there too.  I stopped by AE and got my sweater vest (yes!) and waited 15 mins in line to pay for it.  REDIC!  Then I figured I deserved Starbucks for all of that…so I got a venti Carmel Frap – no whip to go.  I enjoyed it on my drive home, which I took the back roads again – but a different way.  I got home, helped mom with her digi picture frame.  We ate dinner, ran to wal mart real quick – And the creepies were out!  Came back home and we all watched EVAN ALMIGHTY as a family.  It was a cute/nice little bonding time.  And the movie wasn’t too bad.  I worked on loading all of my pictures to MY digi picture frame during the movie.  I am catching up on blogs (and blogging here), and facebook for now.  Prolly gonna meet up with some ppl later…after all it is a friday.  Oh how I would love to be at school right now.  Probably be a lot more fun than right now, but I am enjoying home.

This weekend we will be doing a few more family things.  I am still working on New Year’s plans.  I have a HUGE to do list that must be done before next friday/saturday when I move back.  Packing, shopping, errands, etc etc etc.  I have to visit some ppl and get some little tasks completed (hopefully this weekend if things work right).  And then I will celebrate 2008 by packing and getting shit ready for school!  woo!

peace until later (probably tomorrow)
