Reading

Ok so i'll admit it, i'm defiantly not a reader.

This last summer I took the goal of reading the entire Twilight series, which i'm glad to say that i did accomplish. Because i normally don't read at all outside of school text books, reading some of the Twilight's 400 page books was out of the ordinary for me.

Last night I attended a Banned Book event at Winthrop that talked about books that have been banned in public schools. I noticed that many of the books I never had to actually read in school. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men were just a few books that everyone that i talked to said they had to read in high school.

I thought it was weird because I never had to read these.

So thats my new goal.

I'm going to make a list and start reading "old school" books.

I'm serious.

Should be fun..and a good relief from all of the rest of my life.

Aggrarvation

So I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person that has friends and relatives that are a little aggravating.

Am i right?

Well the past few days i've noticed myself getting aggravated with other people around me. It could be anything from saying something I don't agree with to just pushing me over the edge with sarcasm.

I normally don't have an issue with people. I seem to have a people personality but when you get on my nerves...its totally different story.

So just take a moment and think about other people around you. Just because you are not getting your way or your voice didn't get "heard" doesn't mean that you have to make a big deal about it.

grow up.

So for everyone that is reading this, just be nice. Be polite and most of all just realize that everyone that you are dealing with..has to put up with you. Not just you putting up with them.

Until later,

Little League games...and action figures.

Many of you who have followed my blog for a while then you should know that I'm a soon to be an Aunt.

My sister is pregnant..and believe me its been quite an interesting journey. Between the random feeling of nausea..to the every now and again crying breakdowns, we have formed quite a few stories.

Being separated from my family during this time is defiantly something that I can't stand. Not being able to go with her to the doctor and hear the baby's heartbeat. Or being there when her and Jay paint the nursery..is something I have to go without, and believe me its not something that I like.

Well today was the big day to find out if were going to be welcoming a little Boy or little girl into the world.

I'm please to say that we are having a...

BOY!

Hooray! God is so good and has blessed our family so much. My parents just had two little girls, so my dad was ecstatic that he was going to have a grandson to take fishing and talk about sports with. My mom on the other hand only knows how to make dress up clothes and how to host a tea party..not to much knowledge in my house on what to expect from a little boy.

I'm going home this weekend for some family time, so i can't wait to see and hear what everybody thinks about this exciting news!

Until later hope this keeps you interested!

Fall Weather = Amazing

I've decided that Fall is my favorite season of the entire year. I love sitting in my room with my windows open and just hanging out (normally watching football). The awesome colors and temperature is something that I just love!

Last year I wanted to take advantage of the prettiness of Winthrop so I decided one day after a quite stressfull day in classes that I would take a couple snap shots of Fall at Winthrop. So i leave you with some of the pictures I took, and I hope that these get you ready for the great few months ahead of us!!






This was in front of my favorite places on Campus. I thought this was so pretty..and its orange..so i'm definatly not complaing about that..if you don't understand what i'm talking about, check out my last post.












I thought this tree was so awesome. The bright yellow coming through the darkness..looked pretty sweet if you ask me.


















This was just a sky shot that i took outside of Bancroft. I love the blue in the sky...geeze its gorgeous!

College Football

Autumn Breeze, beautiful weather, and Football.

Nothing could be better than College Football in the Fall. I was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina so you would automatically think that I religiously wear Garnet and Black...but lets just say I'm a little different.

Everyday growing up in Columbia made me hate USC more and more. Because the campus is in the middle of downtown...you can't go into any restaurant without a mural on a wall or the street signs be color coordinated with the school colors.

So after about 20 years I've become absolutely sick of it. I was born and raised a Tiger lovin' Clemson Fan. Orange and Purple are two colors that I could possibly wear everyday of the week. I love football..and I can honestly say that I think it runs in my blood a little bit.

I mean honestly what could possibly more exciting then getting ready to run down a hill, rub a rock into a sea of orange amazement, pretty freakin awesome if you ask me.

Sitting here at my desk I'm currently watching the Gamecocks attempt to play the NC Wolf pack..(With all hopes that they get their butt handed to them), so I thought I would share with you my football excitement.

I'm sure that a few people that grew up in Seneca or Clemson South Carolina have some same but opposite feelings about football..but I'll I can say is to make this girl happy all you have to do is make sure Its a beautiful Carolina Saturday and I have a good spot in front of a TV..watchin my Tigers.

So I leave you with a song that gets me goin everytime!!!
