By now I can run a marathon in a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels. I can race out and hail a cab. I can run up Sixth Avenue at full speed. I've destroyed my feet completely, but I don't really care. What do you need your feet for anyway? ~Sarah Jessica Parker

If you can’t tell by my silence on here, this weekend’s another busy weekend! I’m at home in Florida - flew in on Wednesday, and I fly back out Sunday afternoon.

It’s amazing to me how different the weather is here at home. This is the first time I’ve been in FL during October since 2002, my freshman year, and it is most definitely not fall here, LOL! It’s not blasting hot here, but the weather is most certainly warm! I guess I didn’t realize how much we’re into fall in Winston-Salem until I got back to the land of palm trees!

Back in North Carolina, as we were driving to the airport, I noticed that all the trees were changing colors. The past month, the weather is increasingly cooler, especially when the sun isn’t out, which happens earlier in the day. Every now and then you can smell people’s fireplaces on, and it’s really nice!! It’s exciting to be able to see fall happen, especially since I’ve lived in south Georgia and north Florida all my life . . .

Now if only it keeps from getting any colder in North Carolina, LOL! My theory is that if it’s cold, it better be snowing . . . and after a couple of days in the snow I’m REALLY ready for Florida!!!

. . . when you’re sick in bed and you have swollen glands, a stuffy nose, and a pounding headace?

You watch 3 straight seasons of Sex and the City. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen these episodes, I can still watch them again . . .

Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things about Lindsey!

1. This is my first time doing the Thursday 13. Let’s see if I can think of enough things to write about to keep this up, LOL!

2. I am at home in Florida now. I got home Tuesday night. Hopefully I’ll finally be able to get over being sick and I’ll be able to focus on my school work.

3. I had to take an incomplete in 3 of my classes. Basically that means that I have until the next semester starts to get all the work finished. Which means that I have to do homework and study all throughout Christmas break. Neat.

4. On Tuesday, before I went to the airport, I had my prompt book defense meeting with my theatre professors. It went pretty well. It was a little hard to talk about my prompt book because they’ve all had it since October, so they’ve been able to review it and know exactly what’s in there, but I had to try and remember from two months ago. Makes me wish that I could have had the meeting back when I turned it in, but I understand them wanting more time to review it.

5. I have no car here at home. Since I flew home, that means that my car is parked at the airport up in NC for an entire month. I am worried about my baby . . .

6. Finally got The Sims 2 installed on my computer again (it was erased when I had it reimaged, and I couldn’t find the discs to reinstall it). I started up doing The Legacy Challenge - I’m currently on Gen. 3, and this is hard friends!

7. I still have all my Christmas cards to write. I’ve addressed half of them, but I haven’t actually written in any of the cards. I feel like such a slacker. Maybe I’ll make some hot chocolate, turn on the fire (yes, turn it on - it’s a gas fireplace . . . we do live in FL), and put on a Christmas movie. That’s gotta make me want to do Christmas cards, right? Hmmm, maybe I’ll make copies of the picture of Oliver in his Christmas sweater and stick those in there along with the traditional pic of me and my brother . . . Would y’all be interested in that?

8. My mom was working at the concession stand at my brother’s soccer game earlier this week. The other woman who was working with her is the mother of a friend of mine from high school. He graduated 2 years before me. I had a crush on him, and my mom thinks he liked me back, but we didn’t quite figure all this out until about 2 months before he graduated, so what was the point? I went to visit him his freshman year, but then he went abroad his entire sophomore year and we haven’t talked since. Which means we haven’t talked in 4 years. Once his mom realized who my mom was, she gave her his cell phone number and insisted that I call him. I know that he’s had a girlfriend for 3 years, so why on earth would I call him? I haven’t yet, because only one thing comes to mind when I think about that - awkward.

9. Since becoming sick, I’ve done practically nothing but read books and watch TV and movies. As a result, I am now addicted to the Gilmore Girls. With my trusty friend Netflix, I’ve managed to watch all of seasons 1 and 2, and I’ve watched half of season 3. I should have the rest of season 3 and the majority of season 4 by Friday. It’s a little . . . ridiculous. At least it’s not reality TV.

10. It is much harder to come up with 13 things to write about than I thought it would be.

11. My mom keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. I’ve got things I want on my Amazon.com wishlist, but other than the new iPod that I want, there really aren’t many big things I want. And I doubt they’ll buy me books and CDs . . . they think I have too many already. Which is true.

12. My brother Bo went skydiving last week. The concept is absolutely terrifying to me . . .

13. Have you ever eaten at a P. F. Chang’s? I’m trying to get my family to go tomorrow night. We went once over the summer because they just opened one up here, and it was SOOOOOO delicious!!!!!
