Boston!

My stepsister's dog, Boston.
She is quite the character!

Sunday Reflection

October is now here! My favorite month. :-)
This past week was a good one. My week was mostly filled with work, but the days were not too stressful, and my weekend was lovely.
Friday and Saturday evenings were family nights, spent with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and I am so thankful for that time we share together. We enjoyed each other's company as well as good food and drinks. Today I had an ACT tutoring session and enjoyed a nice Sunday dinner with my mom, stepdad, and stepbrother. And I got to sleep in both Saturday and Sunday, so I feel well rested for the work week ahead!

Contemporary Lakeside Villa

This awesome lakeside villa is located about 25 minutes from Stockholm, Sweden. The main house sits farther back from the water and the cottage next to the dock houses a sauna and spa area! I love boating and being near water, so this would be right up my alley. One can dream right?

I must confess

My magazine addiction has gotten worse.
Everytime I go to the store I find myself wandering over to the magazine aisle. Do I still have magazines to look through at home? Yes. Do I still have books to read at home? Yes.
But I still keep leaving stores with more magazines! Those scented glossy pages have their grip on me. I must stop this madness and stop buying them. Or I must subscribe to more magazines to save myself a little money (cheaper than buying individually). Hmmmm.....the latter option sounds a little better. :-)

Fall is here

Happy first day of Fall!
This season makes me feel nostalgic for my college days.
Here are a few pics I took back in the Fall of 2006 at the University of Illinois.

A Pause

I've taken a little pause from here, as my mind has been elsewhere. This year has been a bad one for my family, as I've mentioned here before and since then it's only gotten worse.
I plan on returning here this week, but in the meantime I've been posting to my xanga site.
One thing that is brightening up my mood is the changing of seasons. My favorite season is Fall, and this past weekend the weather was absolutely beautiful :-) Looking forward to cooler days and leaves changing colors.
