i will be out of debt by april.
my car will be paid off by january 2012.
i will have a new degree by 2013.


these are some of my goals. i'm pretty sure there are other ones, but can't think of them at the moment. i need limits, and i think that when you make deadlines and actually reach them it's really satisfying. plus i'm a super huge dork.

at any rate.
life.

our weekend in hilton head was nice. plus with tim living kinda close it gives me an excuse to get out of this house and go on exciting road trips.

things are good. halloween is almost here and i still have no idea what to be...but that's ok. we're going to the fair, which will be awesome. work is getting better, people are going on vacation and what not so i'll be covering which saves my ass for now. i'm pretty excited to try to move to tampa in the spring...with tim! [or stay in savannah together if that doesn't happen] my aunt's sister is in charge of hiring for an imaging department there, and hopefully will have the job hook up...hopefully something will work out. i miss my family and the beach. we will see.


mine is the one with the mustache.

i.love.fall.

not as much as i love the summer, but it is pretty wonderful.

today i am going to become a volunteer for the humane society, and some other thing called the dolphin project, which i'm pretty excited about. i'm not really sure what i'll be doing there, but it seems like it'll be fun.

Greek festival last night along with where the wild things are. both were not what i was expecting, but fabulous nonetheless...Greek food, it's great, but don't get the potatoes...baklava ice cream, yes.

and today i will be shopping, and cleaning out my car, and buying groceries. the only thing is, what do you buy Casey for his birthday? i'm leaning towards a really huge cake, but other than that i have no idea. he is a real wild child.

north carolina tomorrow....
home monday.
work tuesday.

lameeeeeee.

things are back in order.

and Halloween is coming, with cool weather, Casey's birthday, and all other holidays to follow. plus our lease will be up, which we hope to renew a few extra months, and then tax season....

oh life.

and now, i can finally say that my debt will be gone by march. it's an amazing feeling, and i know it's something super stupid, but i can't even put into words how excited this makes me! i mean, i've been working at it a really long time and the pay off is finally almost here!

at any rate, i'm lame.

so, pumpkins, and movies and baking and tea...plus i'm going to start volunteering at the humane society, and for this dolphin project...and signing up for school.

it's here, all i've talked about wanting to do it and it's here...whoa.

i'm just not sure what to do, because there is this possibility that i may be moving to Tampa...like unless things super perk up at my job, and that place does a 180 and becomes the most enjoyable, magical place on earth, i may be heading to Tampa. here's the thing, stupid st. Joseph's will supposedly work with my school schedule, and give me money to go...

buttttttttttt, i'm pretty sure that Tampa will offer more flexible programs such as night/weekend classes....

oh the decisions.

all in all, things are working out, and this whole year has been wonderful as i predicted!!!

i'm in florida. well, until this afternoon, then i'll be back in savannah.

i'm burnt, loving my dog, and hanging out with friends. sometimes i wish life could be like this always...not worrying about work, and getting that sense of excitement when you haven't seen some one in a really long time. and the beach is open and enjoyable all year.

and then sometimes, it's just all really annoying. and you wonder why the people you're seeing here can't even make the effort to ever come visit...it's pretty un-balanced as far as friendship goes.

hmmmmmmmmm.

thanksgiving in valona.
christmas in port charlotte.
a new year in sav.

who knows.

and tampa. tampa is on the list....

I love and hate the fact that October is almost here. seasons changing, pumpkins and cookies...fall. and not to mention, pumpkin spice flavored everything. I feel like since living here, the summer isn't long enough though...good thing i'll be home in a couple weeks to see the beach.

the job hunt is going...i mean i'm not even sure if i need to hunt anymore. long story, but if Debbie gets the job, things will look up for me. don't get me wrong though, i'm still looking else where...like north and south carolina else where....what ever happens, and where ever i end up is exactly where i'm supposed to be.

things are going to be good though, i just know it.

hmmm.

middle of September. and things are still going alright. i am desperately hoping for some sort of new job, a new job contact, a light at the end of the tunnel....i can barely see it.

oh my. i guess it's just one of those days.

though, i did get to hold a baby. a super cute, wiggly baby, who was extra happy. that was fun.
and i did have a run in with the law, which always gives me a good laugh.

and i'm at one of my favorite places...the library.
and soon enough, i will get to sleep...lots and lots of sleep.

my cousin Dawn and her friend Katie were here today. well they've been here since yesterday.

we spent the day eating wonderful food and walking around Savannah...taking pictures of the moss and squares, enjoying the architecture and cemetery. coffee, and eggs. it was really fun, nice. it's strange when you live in such a beautiful place full time you start to take it for granted. -i'm sorry Savannah, you are something to get excited about.

it's just another reminder to be thankful for what you have. even the simple things.
