& that's the way life goes

Alrighty.  So it’s St. Patrick’s Day.

Now that  I got that out of the way.  (I’m Irish by the way.  C laughs every time I say that.  He says he looks more Irish than me.  Well can I help it if I’m predominately Filipino?  My Great Grams was Irish which makes me about 1/8.  Not that I’ll celebrate today, I just wanted you to know.  Also, why do we celebrate St. Patrick’s day?  Is it just to have a day to drink?  Seriously, someone please tell me.)

me and my green...also it's going to be 65 so I thought my Aloha shirt was appropriate

And this was pretty much my weekend.  I can’t complain.  We spent most of it outside!  It was nice to get some fresh air and sunshine.

pretty awesome huh?

I also raked a ton of leaves and we aren’t even 1/4 of the way finished.  Craziness.  C put his new chainsaw to work and cut up some wood.  We won’t have to worry about not having firewood, that’s for sure.  The yard is going to take a little while before it’s finished but it will be worth it.  I felt like an archaeologist uncovering stone stairs, flower beds and even a fountain pond!

OK let’s get on with it.  I voted, did you?

So if you don’t vote you are lame.  1. that’s a big FAIL and 2.  you have four years ahead of you where you can’t complain about anything since you didn’t do you part!

Cool now that that is done with we can get on to other stuff.

What stuff do you ask?  I’m not really sure.  I don’t have a lot going on today.  I’m anxious about the election, mostly  because I just need to know whether I need to move to Canada or not.

I’m wearing probably the ugliest shirt that I own, but it’s one of my favorites.  I think it’s because it makes me feel waif-like.  And c’mon I’ll never be waif-like.  Wait. Wait.  I’m athletic.  My bones are anything but petite and I’m not graceful.  I’m as clumsy as they come.

Speaking of clumsy my dad kicked me square in the head last night.  He said it wasn’t that hard, but he did ask if I was seeing stars and then preceeded to laugh.  He also informed me that it was my fault he got me in the head.  Um Hm.  I love my dad.  (for those of you that are new here, my dad is a 3rd degree black belt in tkd and also my Instructor)

I leave for Florida in 8 days.  8 days!  I love planning last minute trips.

You guys it’s 70fuckingdegrees here!  Do you know how awesome that is and how wonderful that makes my day?  I’ve had a couple things to make my day wonderful as well.

I can’t wait to go home so I can crank my music up on my drive home and sing at the top of my lungs.  That’s what days like this make me want to do.  Roll the window down, turn the music up, and pretend I can sing.  I love sunshine!

How was your election day?!

UPDATE: MY DAD FOUND MY EARRING!!! WOOHOO!!!

I’m definitely enjoying the weather. Fall is beautiful when the sun is shining. Here are some pics from my walk at lunch.
