Taking Flight

I took my first flight when I was around 15 and the appeal hasn't worn off yet. I feel like I'm partaking in a miracle. I understand there is science behind why a humongous steel machine can fly, but part of that must be a miracle.

I know airports and flying cause anxiety for some people but not for me. I love everything about the airport: the excitement of knowing that I am doing one of most favorite activities, traveling. Of course, there are reasons to not like the airport: overpriced food, delayed flights, long security lines. And I don't mind taking off my shoes but I do mind when other people have stinky feet. (Is that judgmental? Probably :/ but stinky feet is the worst.)

What a great place for people watching. I can't help but wonder what their destination is and why are they going there? Visiting friends, visiting family, spontaneous vacation, business...the options are endless. Side note to the couple fighting in the terminal: you have taught me a valuable lesson. Anger is not cute and not impressive. I understand everyone has unhappy moments, but like PDA, it is better left behind closed doors. Funny thing is, I saw this same couple in the terminal on the way home. They seemed happy this time so good for them :)

It's a good thing I like airports because my flight going and coming was delayed. But the trip was well worth it. Stay tuned for my next post because I will be sharing some photos from Nashville and the time I spent hanging with my Mom, my Dad, and Sammy!

Out of the Box

This post is dedicated to my female readers. I think I might even advise my male readers to not go any further....

It is never too early to start thinking about the holidays and fun holiday crafts. The following craft is one of the best I've seen. And by "the best", I mean, out of the box. Too bad it wasn't something that I came up with. Here it is:

New Layout = Re-energized

For the past few days, I have been updating my blog layout. I knew I wanted to start blogging again on a regular basis but I wanted to do an overhaul on my blog before I really got started. I hope you like it and I will be posting soon with an update on my life for the past 6 months. A few of the highlights being traveling to Costa Rica, graduating from my Master's program, and making the important decision to continue my schooling. I hope you will check back in a couple days to get all caught up!

Website Recommendation

If any of you are like me, I like to check the weather in the morning to figure out what my outfit should be for the day. However, when it gets a little cooler outside, I never know exactly what would be the best to wear. For example, weather.com says it will be 64 degrees tomorrow. So do I need a sweater? or not? Well, my question is answered for me at cumul.us.

It suggests that tomorrow I should wear a long sleeve shirt, jeans, and sunglasses :) How fun!

The other cool thing about this website is that it gets its forecast from looking at a 5 different weather websites: Weather Underground, The Weather Channel, WeatherBug, National Weather Service, and AccuWeather. I think everyone should check it out!

You Can Vote However You Like

It doesn't matter which way you voted...this is a great video :)



Here are the lyrics:
Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

(McCain supporters)
McCain is the man
Fought for us in Vietnam
You know if anyone can
Help our country he can
Taxes droppin low
Dont you know oils gonna flow
Drill it low
I'll show our economy will grow

McCain's the best candidate
With Palin as his running mate
They'll fight for gun rights, pro life,
The conservative right
Our future is bright
Better economy in site
And all the world will feel our military might

(Obama supporters)
But McCain and Bush are real close right
They vote alike and keep it tight
Obama's new, he's younger too
The Middle Class he will help you
He'll bring a change, he's got the brains
McCain and Bush are just the same
You are to blame, Iraq's a shame
Four more years would be insane

Lower your Taxes - you know Obama Won't
PROTECT THE LOWER CLASS - You know McCain won't!
Have enough experience - you know that they don't
STOP GLOBAL WARMING - you know that you won't

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA
Stick with McCain and you're going to have some drama
We need it
HE'LL BRING IT
He'll be it
YOU'LL SEE IT
We'll do it
GET TO IT
Let's move it
DO IT!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

I'm talking big pipe lines, and low gas prices
Below $2.00 that would be nice

But to do it right we gotta start today
Finding renewable ways that are here to stay

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA,
Stick wit McCain you gone have some drama
MORE WAR IN IRAQ
Iran he will attack
CAN'T BRING OUR TROOPS BACK
We gotta vote Barack!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

Pumpkin :)

It has been a few years since I carved a pumpkin. So I felt like this year would be a perfect time to start carving again. Not only would I carve, I would bake the pumpkin seeds. The pumpkin turned out great... The seeds, not so much haha.


Cubbie loved watching me :)


My Masterpiece

Cubbie!

Stefano visited Tampa today to meet a puppy that he was thinking about getting. He ended up coming home with the sweetest, smartest puppy who is now named Cubbie (because of his love for the Chicago Cubs).

We all had a great day together! Tonight the three of us went to Kelly's for a barbeque. Cubbie met her new best friend, Emmy. Here are some pictures of her enjoying first day with us.


Just Relaxing :)


She loves the camera :)


Me and Cubbie

New Best Friends!
