So Fall is looming. I couldn't be more pleased.
I love the smell in the air- it's fresh, clean, new- soon leaves will be changing and it will be just beautiful. I think I'm going to talk Derek into going to Cantigny to walk to the grounds. I just want to walk hand in hand with him through the trees.
Fall is for Lovers.

So I woke up early today- drove Lindsay to school then came home- crawled back into bed to start paying bills. Well, bill, my insurance- but still- that's a lot of money to give up. I work hard for that money- and to write a check (equivalent to two paychecks... well, one and half) is a lot to give up. Thank god it's only once every six months. I don't have to pay it again until March.

Derek and I bought and Xbox 360. I told him I'd buy it for him if he went to the combined family party on Monday and he did. He was upset when I told him I was buying it for him so he gave me like 2/3rds of it. He refused to let me buy it so I took his money, bought the console and GTA IV. I know he'll like it- it'll change things up a bit from EQ.

I know today's my only day off this week- so I take advantage of it. I wake up, run my errands- which included spending another 400 dollars on my insurance, mailing my voter registration (FINALLY!!) and attempting to sell back my old books (made a whopping 25 dollars). Now, I'm home- having finished my driving errands and must complete a few household chores. I have to finish my laundry and clean my room. I need to- it'll feel real good when I finish. I'm going to clean off my desk. Get an office type space going. Set up my printer that's been out of commision since I got it. Hopefully when Derek gets off work I'll have his xbox bowed and ready to give to him. I think I might bring him some wiper fluid too cause he's been out for a while and his windshield is dirty.

Well, enough chit chat- time to do laundry.
