Mondays, Colds and My Fair Lady

We visited my parents in Idaho this weekend which turned out to be a blast. Of course I didn't bring my camera because I am a total airhead, but we had a great time. My mom cooked a delicious dinner and we celebrated her birthday with old fashioned Pepsi bottles and laughing around the kitchen table. My family makes me laugh so hard and it makes me miss the day to day life living with them. It was quite the weekend. We didn't end up leaving until midnight, arriving home at about 2 in the morning. Well worth the drive though.

This morning I woke up with a raging cold and a scratchy throat which is no fun. I came into work a little late, but I'm here and headed up to school after I get done so that I can continue hopefully getting good grades. I've got a test next week so hopefully I can get some good study time in tonight.

RJ is doing a side job tonight with one of his friends. I think it'll be good to do some manual labor and learn something new. :)

This week is going to be exciting and I am happy that fall is coming. Since my mom's birthday was yesterday, my sister bought all the girls in the family tickets to Hale Theatre's My Fair Lady. Every year we go to A Christmas Carol with the family, but this is going to be really fun with just the girls and going to see a show that I personally really like. I like going and getting a little bit of culture and fine arts in my life, instead of just watching new movies.

We're also putting a fireplace in our house which I'm soooo excited about. We have the fireplace and have some of the work done, but the next step is to put lighting into our living room so my dad is coming this weekend to install that and hopefully by the end of the month we'll have a remodelled living room that is nice and cozy with a fireplace. It's going to be a lot of work, but at least it'll feel like home and be a little bit more updated.

Saturday the family is also carving pumpkins and I'm going to make soup. I love fall and spending time with my family. I am going to anticipate the weekend all week, so hopefully it goes by fast. I'll post pictures up next week of the entire weekend.
