Do you know what I love about October? I'll give you a hint, it has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween. Give up? Okay, I'll tell you. Christmas gift shopping!!!!
I don't really like Christmas, any holiday really, but I love shopping for others. Once October rolls around all I want to do is online shop and start planning everybody's gifts. I can't walk into a store without looking for gifts. It's even harder now that everybody's at school because I want to send packages soooooo bad. I LOVE SHOPPING!!! (I might have a problem)
Now that Eli's a factor I spend way too much time in the baby section. I don't really want to get him anything predictable though. He has way to many family members that are going to want to get him toys and junk, and I feel bad for Joy and Josh, I know they're going to get stuff for Eli. I'll have to think about this one. Suggestions?
The rest of my family isn't that hard to shop for. I spend enough time with them that I kind of have that all figured out. I've already bought Title's present. My parents are always hard because they tell me they don't want anything, and I can't afford to buy them a vacation.
Friends are relatively easy, especially if they have a Pinterest. Really though, the hardest people to shop for are Skylar and William because I know them so well. THERE'S TOO MANY IDEAS!!!!!!
GAH! I can't wait to really start Christmas shopping. :D

Church
You know what I really miss? Church. It's weird. I never felt bad in the past when I didn't go or just slept in instead, but I can honestly say I miss it.
The other day a lady came into the Sub-hub and told us that she would pray for us and the place to continue having good business. She was sweet. It shocked Joy which was funny. My immediate response was to get her name and pray for her as well (Oh Robert, you would be so proud). Joy's was to shout "WHAT!?! Oh MY GOSH!! That's so sweet of you. Thank you." It was rather funny. But I guess that it is an unusual thing for some random person to offer their prayers for you.
There's a family that comes into the Sub-hub and before they eat they all pray together. Heads down eyes closed and holding hands. It's really cute because they have two younger girls and they just sit quietly until they say Amen. If it wasn't all sorts of creepy and rude I would sneak a picture of it.
I went to church last week, and while it was awkward because I wasn't with the Padia's, I still really enjoyed going. I missed Paul's sermons and the friendly faces that greet you. I missed Daniel and even Andy. I'm working on a invasion of Youth Group so I can see Robbie, Stacy, and Cole.
This morning my Grandma took me to church so she could pray for my safety as I drive. That one was weird even for me. Still, I went and she prayed, said a short Rosary, and lit a candle. I was nice to know she cares so much. I could have done without the crying though.

Cleaning and organizing
Today I spent the day doing something I love. Cleaning and organizing. YUH!
I got bored of the way everything was placed, and with the weather getting colder I wanted my bed to be under the window so I can make the most out of my nest and watch the trees change.

Here it is!!!
Yes I do sleep with the six pillows, body pillow. and pina colada. That's why I call it my nest. Also, don't judge my Minnie Mouse blanket. I love her. We're practically sisters.
Meet Antwiniqua, Shanequa, Landesha, and Tom.
Title found these dolls under my bed and decided that they needed ghetto names.... -__- My sister is so dumb.
The delicious ice-cream, from Skylar and William, that i rewarded myself with at the end of the day :D

No doctor for me
Who gets sick when they don't have to go to school and want to hold a precious baby? Me. Life is a joke. I have a cold... I think... You know why it's not a positive thing? Because I WILL NOT go to the doctor.
Let me tell you something, doctors are scary. True story. I would rather die than go to the doctor. Now that I'm 18 I get to make that decision myself. :) So I have decided to treat my cold with Theraflu (thank you Becky Padia for that introduction), cough drops, tea, sleep, and lots of ice-cream. YUH!!
Lets hope I get better soon. If not, Skylar Padia gets first pick of all my stuff. Also she, and few others, get to decide what to do about the funeral and other after death stuff.
In other news, BOARDERLANDS 2 is coming out very soon!!!!!!!! GAH so excited :D :D :D :D
LOVE Y'ALL

Maggie!!!
This weekend I went on an epic adventure, with Ariel (I would like to take this moment to thank her a million times for driving 10 hours there and back) and Jena, to visit Maggie.
It was pretty awesome. I missed her face terribly, and it was nice to have her actually around to referee and laugh at Jena and me. We toured her campus (it's very pretty), played with kitties, caught tadpoles, painted our nails, and pretty much just hung out and had fun.
It was kinda cool to see how college has started to shape her and how much she loves it. I wouldn't blame her. The campus is pretty, there are fountains to play in, cats roam around, her dorm is pretty nice, there are cool people around, and she has a balcony that is awesome to sit on in the morning. Once you get past the hot rooms and the drunk people racing each other at 1 in the morning, I'd say it's a fun place to live.
Can't wait until I get to see you again! It kinda makes me wish I could go visit all of my friends. Hope you all know I'm thinking of you and missing you.
LOVE Y'ALL!!!
Who wouldn't miss this face?

ASL
Today a couple came in the sub-hub while we were really busy. When they got to the register I was in the zone, and then the guy started to sign at me. I don't know why, but I was petrified. I eventually got back in the zone and started to sign to him.
He was really excited and it made me happy, but I was so nervous I was shaking. He was really sweet and when his wife came back over he was telling her how excited he was that I could sign. It made me feel really good, and it made me really miss ASL. Then I rung him up wrong.... but that's not the point.
The point is that I miss ASL and I need to get back into the swing of signing.
YUH!!!
