something to look forward to.

nothing makes me happier or more giddy than a new harry potter movie. after all, it's all we have to look forward to in regards to HP at this point.

turning point?

this week marks a turning point in my time at georgia. (or so i hope.)

i'm feeling more like myself this week than i have in a while. maybe it has something to do with the weather finally cooling down. whatever it is, i'm liking it.

this weekend is going to be grrrreat. tonight i'm going to dinner with some of my friends. tomorrow i'm going to do some work in the morning, get my hair cut and colored, and catch a movie with my friends. then i need to focus and get to work on some big assignments that are due in the coming weeks.

saturday i'm meeting up with meg, her sister, and her nieces and nephews at a pumpkin/apple farm in the morning. then going to christy/sam/lizzie's to watch football for the remainder of the day.

now that i'm actually looking at all of the stuff i have to do i'm getting a little nervous...

ah, well. it'll all work out. it always does.

my cohort

here's a visual of my cohort (everyone except for catie)

"he better win."

this is a phrase that comes out of jim's mouth almost too often to count. usually it comes up after obama gets another big endorsement (like colin powell this morning) or maybe after a new poll comes out that shows he's up big in a swing state. or in our case... while we're talking on the phone after jim has just sat in the second row at the dnc the night that obama gave his acceptance speech. nonetheless, it has become a mantra of sorts.

reasons why "he better win?" 1. the two of us will never hear the end of it if he doesn't. 2. this country needs steady and smart change.

i'll leave it at that.

going to enjoy the beautiful mid-october georgia weather.

all the mavericks in the house put your hands up!

if you haven't seen these you need to watch immediately!

McCain's roast of Obama...










And Obama's response...


I love that they were able to make fun of each other and themselves! This made my entire morning.
