This week is going to be SUPER busy, and I'm really looking forward to all the different things I have to do. Besides going to all of my classes I have volunteer work to do with SAVES on Wednesday, going to A Rose for Toni, working at both the Gap and Rituals at the end of the week. I was also supposed to volunteer at the Richmond Folk Festival but I'm not sure if I still can with work and everything else going on for me I just don't want to get too overwhelmed. I'm just glad on Monday's I only have one class to help me ease back into my week a little.
I was supposed to go on a haunted hayride with some friends last night and I'm a little bummed it didn't happen because I'm sure it would have been some serious fun. Instead I went to the movies with my friend Heath. We saw Pandorum. It wasn't all that good to be honest. We both were expecting to get really scared, and actually looking forward to it somewhat. At least it had our favorite constipated-looking actor; Denis Quaid. If you're confused by that last sentence watch Vantage Point and just look at his face, and you'll have to agree he looks like he needs to drop the browns off at the superbowl. I guess at least there are plenty of other opportunities to go on the haunted hayride this month so I'm not so bummed about it.
Besides the hayride Paul and I were talking about going pumpkin picking at some point and maybe even apple picking up at Carter's mountain. The only thing is that both of us are busy people so who knows if we'll even have time to do any of this. I'm just really excited to do fun things with him. Pumpkin picking and apple picking are things my family and I used to do a lot when we were younger along with peach picking, white water rafting, and going to the maple festival. I really wish I had more time to do these things now because they were always so fun back then.
Since I only have one class today I'm thinking about going to the gym after I get out. I really want to start going so I can get toned and lose about 10 to 15 lbs. So far I've lost 10lbs from eating a whole lot healthier and not drinking alcohol. I'm trying to get back to where I was at the end of summer '05 but no blonde hair this time around.
The other day my parents informed me that this year for Thanksgiving we're going out. I got the saddest look on my face and all I could ask is if we'd be doing a fried turkey another time this year. I insisted upon actually doing this so I could enjoy my favorite meal of the year and since Paul had recently mentioned never having tried fried turkey before I hope he can make it over for this most glorious feast.
I am going to try to grow my hair out for real this time. I usually say that and then cut it off because it hits that awkward stage and I just cut it. I miss having long hair, and it hasn't been long in over a year. I had to cut it all off then though since the well water was tinting my hair a little green in the back and nothing else seemed to help. I love the way my hair looks right now but I do really miss having long hair that I could tie back or have someone play with. I wish my boyfriend would play with my hair more. It calms me down when I'm stressed, puts me to sleep, and it sometimes sends shivers down my body because it feels so good.
Well, it's time to get ready to greet the rest of the world and maybe I'll go to the gym before class today... who knows.
