Happy Birthday to Me!

Things have been floating along lately. I've purchased all my books for school. I finally have a firm appointment set with my adviser. My mom and I took in a double feature at the drive in. It's been pretty swell.

A few days ago the college hosted its first National Night Out. It's kind of a fun fair for law enforcement that's held nationwide to promote a bond between law enforcement and their community. Stand united against crime, that kind of thing. I was the "official" photographer and had a really good time. For their first year attendance was amazing. Lots of great feedback!

Yesterday was my birthday. Woohoo! I'm not 24. 24. Wow. My mom and I started out the day with delicious breakfast at Cracker Barrel followed by a road trip to Lake Geneva, WI. Despite what my mother says, I have never been there so I was very excited. Lots of quaint shops and people wandering around downtown. We took in what there was to see and ate a lovely lunch at Egg Harbor. Very tasty indeed! Then we wandered down by the lake and decided we would come back in the fall to take a boat around and look at all the beautiful trees that will have changed color by then. Very excited about that! We then went back to town to purchase some treats. Ever heard of cheesecake in a jar? Fan-freakin-tastic! And then a leisurely drive home so we could take in the massive homes in and around the area.

Spent time with the whole family (mom, Kirk and Nick) when we got back and watched some Dead Like Me. Good times to be had fo' sho'. Calzones for dinner and off to bed after a very exciting day. I got some lovely things including lots of new products, a few DVDs and gear for my bike! So excited! I'll have to go riding now...

Today is catch up. I need to clean in the worst way. Definitely some reading. I'm reading The Timetravelers Wife. I do NOT want to put it down for any length of time so I'll make a huge dent in that. Some laundry.

But right now I'm off to reheat my leftover blueberry pancake!
