Catching Up..

So I have finally started reading Eat, Pray, Love.. hence my absence of posting yesterday... But since you missed me.. Let's catch up.

• I'm not very far into it, I don't hate it but I'm not in love yet. So far I really like the style of writing. I was honestly expecting it to be a more formal writing style with almost a snippity I traveled the world and you didn't kind of narrative. But Elizabeth seems cute and not rubbing it your face that she went on this life changing journey across the world.-- well that's all I can really say about the book this far. But kudos to me for starting it earlier than the night before.

• 'Old Lady' wanted to have a conversation about last night's Bachelor Pad and I can't believe it but I totally forgot to watch it. That's what reading will do to ya.. it make you forget about your trashy drama filled reality tv.. stupid books.

• I went to the Drive-In with my brother last Thursday and got eaten alive by what I hope was a swarm of mosquitoes and not just one that repeatedly attacked me. I have literally not kidding at all 25 bites on one leg from mid-calf down. I wanted to chop my foot off it itched so bad. Today I'm better calamine lotion is amazing. I have had bouts of dizziness lately for just a minute or two, I googled west Nile and I think I'm safe, or I could just be in the 80% majority of people who never show symptoms.

• I miss my cubemate 'My Girl T' it just really isn't the same without her. I miss you TT come back soon PLEASE!! Don't stay longer either.

• Garden spiders amaze me. They are curious creatures that are HUGE first off. They only make their webs at night and ball them up and eat them before morning only to make another new one at night. They are all over, I'll grab a picture sometime for ya. I am officially scared to go into the back yard at night if I have to only to strategic locations, I learned the hard way these webs are huge.

• Good Movie/Bad Movie--My brother made me watch "The Watchmen" so I watched that last night too, I really like it. It's based on a graphic novel so it may not be everyones cup of tea... good movie. I had a Netflix movie the other day too "The Spirit" bad movie end of story. Don't watch.

• TrueBlood is almost done for the season, 3 episodes left. I am disappointed with this season so they better wow me with the last three, it's been kind of slow. Last season there was always something happening every episode, now I'm just waiting for them to get to the point. Makes me sad.

• This weather!! How amazing has it been. I have been sleeping with my windows open, something that I haven't been able to do in forever and it is amazing. It's been a glorious glimpse of the wonderful weather that Fall will bring VERY SOON!!! Get over it people, it's a coming and I can't wait.

• Makin plans Makin plans. I've been in the works with work peeps to take some weekend adventures. What's on the list you ask? Well hopefully a Chicago Ghost Tour, a moonlight corn maze, maybe a Chicago day trip, a Country/and or a Real dance/club bar night and a wine date. How fun!

• Car is fixed, but you knew that if you follow the blog

• I want some extra cash more truthfully I just want someone to give me the money so I can buy the camera I want and a new cell phone and that should tie me over with new toy happiness until Christmas rolls around. I'm thinking Bath and Body Works, I worked there once and didn't mind it, seasonal work is upon us folks. Three months away from Black Friday deals!

• We brought up the idea of a cruise in February/March. I haven't forgotten about it. I think its an awesome idea. I hope it will work out aka I will have the money to.

• Keeping with our bookclub read this month. Here is your assignment. I read an article about people yearning for the Eat,Pray, Love type of experience without the whole traveling to another country and spending boocoo bucks. So here is your thought for today. Our good ol USA has a ton of majestic landscapes and places to find yourself. Your challenge: What would be your Italy, India, and Indonesia right here in the US. So pick three places here domestically and what you would want to accomplish and find out about yourself in those three places. Check back tomorrow and I'll give you my three.

Well hopefully that is enough to get you all caught up on HB world happenings. Check back later this week for another random photo
