Saturdays

Saturdays have apparently been revolutionized in my family.
Saturdays are our "cleaning days"... we shall see how long this lasts ;) I jest, I think it to be a great idea.This Saturday was also filled with some quality time with two of my favourite boys... well you can hardly call them that, but they are still "my boys" Tim H. and Evan M. (the former being for all intents and purposes my brother and the latter is my wonderful boyfriend :)
The bonfire was a great hit... until I became forgetful of the green plant foes in my back yard and had to go through hazmat detox for poison ivy... the morning shall tell if our efforts were fruitful o.o

My mom and my sister also learned something new today... MarshmAllow not MarshmEllow... I can't tell you how many times their spelling mishap has made me laugh inside, I was almost hesitant to point out the error of their ways ;)


Evan's Macbook also brought several hours of enjoyment to the family. All sorts of embarassing and hilarious photos were taken throughout the evening, even the dog and cat got into it, though, I don't think the cat appreciated it very much, she is currently hiding somewhere and I suspect it will be quite a while before she makes an appearance again.






I can't believe how fast this past month has flown, just WHOOSH, here and then gone before you can draw breath or blink an eye, but what a fun fall its been so far!!! This weekend is also the weekend the Showplace will be hosting the Dixie Classic Gunshow, I am extremely excited about going, I'm hoping to price out a case for my .22 and maybe pick up a few rounds so when it comes to live permanently with me I will be prepared to enjoy it to its fullest! ^^


Next weekend is the Richmond Highland Games and Celtic Festival. Last year was the first year I was able to go to the Celtic Fest. and I am not planning on missing anymore for a very long time! I'm hoping to actually have a little bit of money to spend there this year, unlike last year. I would love to pick up a Claddagh Ring or maybe a celtic knot necklace of some sort, and maybe a knife, but I'm digging the Claddagh ring a lot right now. I love celtic designs. I'm hoping to add one to my awesome mural wall above my bed (on a side note: WE HAVE REAL BEDS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS! Dad finally finished building the new platform beds :)



Hmm... I really don't want this weekend to end. I wish I could fast forward to next weekend and forget all about the exams this week, but then again, I might miss out on some super awesome fun times between now and next weekend.

Plus, there's always "Dollar Burger Night" with Charlie, one of the best ways to start off the week is with cheap, delicious burgers. Yummm.

It's finally beginning to really feel like fall, even though some days, like today, are just a little too warm to inspire fall'ish thoughts. Though unlike last fall at this time I am wearing jeans and long sleeved shirts, which I guess makes it better.

I know I'm going to miss apple picking, since today I discovered we shall not be going this year... I hope someone is kind enough to bring us back several gallons of Carter Mountain's Apple Cider... I'm going to miss the scenery up there.
But there is still always the possibility of going to Charity's house and watching chick-flicks while eating Ian's delicious crepes with Char's apple filling concoction. yuumm.

For the first time in my life I'm not enjoying school. I always have loved school but this semester I view it as a necessary evil instead of something I look forward to everyday. I guess I have grown wiser haha.

I believe today was a day of rambles and nothing else.

I wonder if we'll get snow?...
