Actually, to be honest, I love waking up to rain and thunder, but NOT when I wanted to spend the day outside in the gorgeous sun!
I was planning on going to the beach today too, but now because of the weather that plan is shot.
I have errands to run anyhow, and I must get on them after this blog is through.
A determined person I know says that even though the weather is terrible, he still plans on spending his day outside at the pool playing Tornado! That's how I need to be.
I can't let rain ruin....everything. Then again, my friends wouldn't be willing to do anything outside either. But, that doesn't mean it's not a good gym day!
I am so incredibly excited for this weekend. I leave for Fairfax Virginia. This is where all my family lives, and it's located around my birthplace (Roanoke, Virginia). Roanoke is a beautiful town, known for the star that sits up on a gigantic hill! It's been there for years and years and years and years and years...
Sadly, we will not be visiting Roanoke. But I am just as content with visiting Fairfax! I love my uncles house, I know it's weird but since everyone there smokes I have grown to love the smokey scent that is carried throughout each and every inch of the house. They've got the most AMAZING basement too! It's theme is the "'50's". There is a bar down there and a ping pong table AND soda and snack machines that were used in the 1950's or 60's! There is also an Adams Family pinball machine. I have gotten so good at getting high scores on that. I can also practice playing pool. Fairfax is also only 45 minutes outside DC. We will also be visiting DC, I'm going to do CRAZY shopping, and visit the wax museum! I cannot wait. I'd also like to visit the Holocaust or the Smithsonian museums. As you all know, the Holocaust is a museum concentrating on the concentration camps, and World War II. Jewish artifacts! Hooray! And, I've always been so interested in reading and watching movies about the concentration camps and how awfully the Jews were treated. (Check out The Pianist or The boy in the Striped Pajamas)
And the Smithsonian is just one of the most remarkable museums around! I've been once to both museums, but was too young to remember any of it. However, never have I ever been to a WAX museum!
This will most definitely be a fun week, AND not to mention we will be seeing Cheap Trick live. haha! How random...
Enough fantasizing about this fun week ahead of me, I am doing anything I can to keep my mind off of the things that are getting me down. I don't feel as if it's appropriate to write down what those things might be because they are fairly new and who knows what kind of mean things I'd say and regret later. All I know is I'm making a new change for myself, and for that I am proud. I talked to Ian who I've been friends with longer than most people I know in Hilton Head last night as well, and he can be more than comforting.
Who knows, maybe now I am going to find what I'm looking for and generally be the happiest girl.
And with that- the rain stops.
It's amazing.
With that que, I will put on my shoes, and continue on with my day.
I've also got Minus the Bear STUUUUCK in my head, so I have to listen to them as soon as I get in the car.
Cheers! : )
