Granite Hall

This is a penny candy and more store right up the road from my grandparent's house in Round Pond Maine. This is the greatest place on earth and I am very sad no to being seeing it this year.

I'm running out of room

I have such a crush on Jackson Rathbone. I was suppose to hate the Twilight series. I suppose I kind of do...and yet, I can't get enough of it. I am indeed a screaming fangirl at heart. So yet another celebrity crush is added to my list. *sigh*

Keep Calm & Have a Cupcake

I quit keeping a journal when I moved in with my husband. It had nothing to do with some degree of less privacy or out of fear that he would read it. I have recently re-read my college journal. I am surprised of how self serving and completely untrue some of the entries were. I actually threw out my post-high school journal. I tore out my favorite entries but there was so much in there that I would much rather completely forget about. It was a black hole in my book shelf. It had to go. I have my junior and senior year journals, of which I am very proud. It's all true, and very honest. Maybe I'll start another one. The more important thing really would be to actaully write something novel-esque. Someday hopefully soon, I will organize that ideas rattling around my skull and put them down on paper, or screen

Summer Reading List

This is the reading list that should have been this summer. I suppose I still have time. Time to fire up the ole' Inter-Library Loan! There is no particular order to these by the way.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Chronicles of Narnia

(I never finished them as a kid)

Book Wall

I love my house, but my god if I could add on an attic, it would look just like this!

"Who cares how time advances? I am drinking ale today." - Edgar Allan Poe

I have such a love of beer now. Not in a snobbish way but in a great appreciation way. I love how it tastes, looks, the way it catches the light when you hold it up. The smell of a fresh pint from the tap. I like the ring you some times get around the bottom on a coaster. I like drinking with people and trying new types. I thought I was picky about it but to some extent I'll drink anything. Ales and IPA's are my favorites. I like bitters too. and Lagers. Wheat based I go back and forth on. But pour me a pint of anything, and I will be happy. alright maybe not ANYTHING but that is a pretty typical beer snob list. I like cider too, but thats a post for another day.

Drinkin' shampian to forget yesturday cuz I remeber the way the way it ended the day

I'm still waiting for that awful painful, heart attack inducing, nail bitting, hole punched in my chest, heartbroken feeling to pass. I was so emotionally spent after all the work My boys put into the games against Slovina and Alegria. I was so crushed when we lost to Ghana. I felt that the wieght of all nearly converted soccer fans was on my shoulders. I still can't believe were out of the World Cup. Its depressing. Plus I know if we hadn't had TWO bloody goals disallowed the drive might have been there for longer. We were just so tired. We had so much to fight for though. If Bob Bradley had put the starting line-up that works in first instead of pulling Clark 30 minutes AND if we didn't practically make ourselves have to come from behind EVER SINGLE GOD DAMN TIME!!!!!! (URGH!) Things might have been better. *sigh* And England sucked this year and New Zealand was awesome. Tied all of thier games which is awesome for a team ranked like 78th or something like that. Australia just could not get it together. Not that the bullshit red cards helped. *sigh* No more anglo teams left. very sad.
