After what was a somewhat short move in, we went to Panera Bread for some chow then hit up Big Lots for some extra drawers, my closet curtain, and some other little organizational baskets. I've heard more police sirens tonight than I do in a given month in Murray.
My window opens up enough for Daddy to almost fall out, which is a plus if I get mad a Ashley...just kidding.
There are 4 other people on my floor, I think. The rest move in tomorrow, oh joy. I need to go to bed, my goal is to make it to church in the morning.
Kbye.

Hi,
I move in tomorrow.
Tonight has been a happy combination of dance partying and packing =D
As soon as mom and dad get home from the laser light show in LBL, I shall load the remaining stuff into the van, and then go to Mary's Kitchen for some late night pancakes with the crew =)
In case you haven't noticed. I'm excited.
...and hungry.
Oh, yeah! I went to MHS volleyball practice today to help them get ready for All-A tomorrow. My body's going to fall apart tonight. Yay for living on the 6th floor?
Peaceeee outttttttttt

Not too much has happened in the past couple of days, other than Lauren took me to Applebee's last night for supper before a little get together we had so I could hang out with everyone as much as possible before I MOVE IN SATURDAY =D
Yes, I'm excited.
I went to Quizno's on Friday with Katie and got one of the toasty torpedoes. It was actually REALLY good for four bucks. Then we went to RSEC with all the incoming freshmen and got all sorts of free stuff. I got a huge bag from the Book & Bean coffee shop; it's made of recycled material and what not. It's the bomb. I think I'm in love with it.
As for today? NOTHING. And I like the idea of that.

I'm blue ba ba di da ba die....
or however it goes. Feel free to take your own interpretation and sing it a loud.
"Are you seriously posting two blogs in two days?!"
Yes, I am. I'm trying to get in the habit so as to prevent worrisome parents.
TODAY: I finished the Time Traveler's Wife which was an amazing read. I was incredibly angry and upset and frustrated and in love with it the whole time. However, I'm not sure that I'm going to see the movie after all...I spent the last 45 minutes of the book crying as I read. It was so sweet, and, ugh....unreal. Can I have my Henry please? Kthnx.
In other news, I packed another rubbermaid tote full of bedding and towels today. Woot! I also managed to mow the back yard, kill the lawnmower by running over what *used* to be a pine tree, and then earned my supper push mowing the rest. When I finished, my presented me with a dead hummingbird that she found on the porch, and as intrigued by it as I may have been, I was too disturbed by it to take pictures. Rare, for me, I know. It was just so tiny and helpless, hopeless and gone that it had lost all of its beauty and splendor. Maybe that book just set my mood to "morbidly depressed" all day. It worked.
Tomorrow's agenda consists of putting up more clothes that were just washed, and by putting up, I mean most likely packing them =) Mom mentioned something about the lake, which would be great considering my sunburn from last weekend is just now beginning to peel. In 10 minutes, I will be exactly one week away from moving.
TEN MINUTES?!
Holy Saint Francis, it's a good two hours past my bedtime.

Flightless Bird
So I'm officially two days closer to "leaving the nest," as my momma calls it.
"Two days, Caitlin? You can only move forward one day at a time, silly freshman!"
This is not so, friends. I received a letter in the mail today that says I am "eligible for early move-in." I am "strongly encouraged, but not required" to take advantage of this opportunity. I think we all know how I am about taking advantage of things...
ANYWAY: I now move to Bowling Green on Saturday, August 22, 2009. I will then be, as Webbie so quaintly puts it "I N D E P E N D E N T" (For those of you that missed that reference *coughmom&dadcough* click this, and make sure you speakers are appropriately tuned for that "rap garabge.")
"Caitlin, I noticed your blogspot looks REALLY different! What did you do to make it so beautiful?"
Well, after arriving home at 2 this morning from picking up a friend at the airport, I planned on sleeping until 10, reading The Time Traveler's Wife, and then cleaning my room. (The latter was a joke meant to appease my mother.) However, my roomie-to-be felt it necessary to call me at 8:30 this morning. Since then, I have been arguing my way into various HTML coding and picture uploading, and voila, this masterpiece. The background is Olympic Square, Atlanta, Georgia, taken in November of 2007 during an FCCLA "Cluster" meeting. That was before red polyester ate my life...*sigh* I'm easily sidetracked, who knew?
