I hate being sick...

...it's like I can never get enough sleep. I just took a nap, and I'm still exhausted and ready to sleep again.

I am now officially...

...an aunt for the third time! His name is Isaiah Reid, and he is extremely beautiful! He is a fatty! He weighed 11 lbs and 5 oz and was 22.5 in long...pretty dang big! Did I say he was beautiful yet? Because he is...extremely handsome! He is dark skinned and has dark hair...and looks like my side of the family.

It looks like rain...

...I'll finally get to where my kick-A zebra print rain boots...oh yeah*.


*Only though, if I go somewhere today...which I'm thinking isn't happening. But I might put them on and go outside if it starts raining anyway. Cause I'm cool like that. Boo-Yah.

On another note...we are still waiting for my sister to have her third child...I don't know if it is going to be a girl or boy, I wish I knew so I could buy something for the baby. I am ready for the baby to get here. I can't wait. I am ready to meet the newest member of my family. Of course...Jess is the one who is the most ready to meet the baby.

I'm ready for this month to be over with...heck I'm ready for this semester to be over with. I feel as if I have tons of work to do for school, but can't really do any of it right now...and I know that when I can do it, it will all come at the same time and I will be bombarded with tons of school work to do...sigh. Oh the joy.

Grace In The Small Things, Friday...on a Saturday

2. Salty French Fries (My craving of the week).

3. Piggy Banks!

4. Warm Weather in Fall (only because my heater is broken).

5. Getting all my laundry put away.

Midway switch-up

The semester is half way over. Seats have been claimed and you sit where you have been sitting all semester. Right? Well apparently some people aren't Baptist and don't know that once sat in, that seat is yours for the rest of the year. I say that because, in my first class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Computer Applications, I have been sitting at the same computer every day of class. I show up to class Tuesday and this guy is at MY computer, can you believe that?, and so I am forced to sit in his old spot. *UGH, the audacity of this obnoxious person, but maybe someone was on his computer when he got to class I think, because it has happened to me, but I normally just wait until it's free. So I wait. Maybe he will move. He doesn't. So without the most of excitement I log on on HIS computer. I get through the class hoping beyond hope that I will be able to reclaim my seat next class. I arrive to class today with the same hopes and spy my seat...open! I walk over to it, but someone is logged on and has left their backpack there. Oh well, I will just sit at the computer next to it, but someone else is logged in on this one. So I walk begrudgingly back to HIS computer. OH the nerve of some people! Can't a girl just continue to sit in the same seat all year without having to be bothered to move midway? This could seriously affect my grade...to a B. Horror of horrors!


*I am in complete sarcasm with this post. But seriously, who moves mid semester?

I LOVE the cold...

...and therefore...I am in heaven with the beginning of fall. Although, secretly, I wish it were colder. I am ready for December to get here in all it's winter glory. I want it to snow. I want to make snow angels and have snowball fights. I want to put up the Christmas tree. I want to read the nativity story with my family. I want to buy gifts for others and watch their excitement at opening them. I want to watch my niece delight in probably the first Christmas she will remember. I want to watch Colby as he celebrates his second Christmas, and I want to watch the new one, whose name is yet unknown, bundled up and being passed around during his/her first Christmas.
I want to sing Christmas carols. I want to feel my nose grow cold and see my breathe. I want to bake cookies and drink hot cocoa. I want to snuggle under a blanket with my sister(s). I want to laugh at the silly things we get each other. I want to watch my family in joy and love. I want to spend time finding or making the perfect gift for the ones I love. I want to smell the muskiness from a wood burning stove. I want to recall memories with my siblings and stay up late playing games with them.
This time of year always reminds me of one of my favorite Bible verses.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. Job 37:10
