i'm soooo happy (with slight british accent)!

it's cold outside and there are gloomy clouds above...my favorite weather. i do love the beautiful blue sky with my cold weather, but i LOVE the gloomy, even rainy, sky! it really feels like fall...and looks like it as well. the leaves are orange and red, some even pink! it's so crazy that it's already so late in october. next monday is halloween and a week and one day from today is my 26th birthday! it's just crazy. my little sister lindsey and i are already talking about christmas plans. i just love this time of year!!
so i saw that there is a new dvd set of the movie titanic...one of my favorite sob movies i must admit. i'm embarrassingly pretty excited about the prospect of seeing all the behind-the-scenes of the movie. leo and kate...a big ship...lots of dying...what more could a girl ask for in a movie guaranteed to make you cry. seriously...give me your children living in brothels or a story where two older people die together-holding hands no less. i won't shed a tear unless celiene dion is singing in the background, there is an old woman with painted toenails hanging off the back of a ship and two people who hardly know each other fall in love and die decades apart. bring it on!!

my future

today i received my first teacher gift. my friend liz got me a teacher ornament from chicago and it made me so happy! i'm starting to realize that i'm really going to be a teacher...that lady your kids see all day, 5 days a week, who they either love or hate. hopefully they will love me and will learn everything they need to know. at least that's what i hope will happen. but i am really excited about it. i work with children now but it's in an afterschool program. they are pretty much spent by that time and don't always have the best attitudes. but it's understandable...they have been schooling for 8 hours. i would probably be tired and moody too.
on another note, alias...sad days. it used to be such a great show. the first and second seasons were the best but the third and fourth not the best. but now as the fifth has rolled around it has proved to be very disapointing. my friends and i will remain loyal (most of us at least...liz!) but not nearly as excited as we once were. at least we have lost to look forward to.

we've only just begun

well, here i am, posting some random thoughts and only slightly exciting adventures for the world to read. i don't want overwhelm you with my first entry, so i'll keep it short. i am just sitting at a friends house while her sweet baby sleeps in her crib, thinking about my day and my week. where should i start...with the fact that i got sick a few days ago...or that i only had to work until 2 today...or that alias comes on tonight. so many facinating tales to tell. but if i must pick only one then here it is...i am so glad that it's finally fall (i told you it would blow you away). the smell of fall...the feel of fall...the sights of fall. i love all of these things. it reminds me of high school when my friends and i would go to football games after we played, and usually lost, our own volleyball game. there is just that feeling outside and you know it's fall. the leaves are turning and falling and pumpkins are showing up all over the place. i got my dog, Jake, a bee costume. he looks so cute i could just eat him up. he lost one eye when he was a puppy, but that makes him all the cuter. i couldn't ask for a sweeter more precious dog. he is actually my moms dog, but she is living in indonesia right now and she asked me to keep him. he will be hard to give back....but let's not think of that now. let's just think about the fact that he will be the best one-eyed bee around. well, there was my first blog. hope you come back for more...
