Starting break off on the wrong foot

So yesterday I came down with a nasty little stomach bug. I didn't feel well all morning but by the time the afternoon rolled around and I had gotten home and taken a nap, I thought I was on the mend. Apparently not. Last night when I went upstairs to go to bed I was in my bathroom and I got really dizzy... Then I passed out cold. Twice. The second time I fell to the floor and hit my face splitting my lip wide open and bruising my face. My parents heard me fall and rushed upstairs to found me unconscious on the floor. They quickly brought me to the hospital because I was severely dehydrated. At the hospital I passed out for a third time, meaning I got taken into the er right away! They did some tests and gave me fluids by iv for a few hours, which seemed to have done the trick, thank god. Not the way I planned on starting off my break!

Thanksgiving Break 2010

I can't wait to go home tomorrow afternoon for Thanksgiving. Here are some of my reasons:
1. Sleeping in my own bed (with my dogs and cat of course!)
2. Seeing all of my friends home from college (BM, a shopping trip is a must!!!)
3. Family - everyone comes to my house!
4. Sitting down and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while mom cooks the turkey... a priceless tradition from my childhood!
5. I get to put out and turn on the Christmas lights... I take pride in my light displays...
6. FOOD!

Happy Break in less than 24 hours!!!

I'm addicted to Apple. Seriously.

Really, I am. I have been a mac lover since the early iPod days - I'm talking middle school here people. Today, when I went on the apple website, I was greeted by an announcement saying that there would be something new released tomorrow at 10AM. I don't know about you, but I'm intrigued.... too bad I have class at 10 tomorrow
:(

Zip Lining!!!

So for my birthday (in September) CR gave me a trip to go zip lining in New Hampshire, but due to our crazy schedules...ok, mostly my crazy schedule, we had to delay the trip until this past weekend.

The whole experience was amazing! I would recommend it to anyone. Maybe not those with a fear of edges (you won't make it off the first platform) but everyone else would be set!

I wasn't sure how it was all going to go before we went since I had never done this before and we were going on the more intense of the two courses that were available. Once I got there I didn't even think twice, and now I want to go again! - Such an awesome b'day present!

Seriously, you have to try this!

Since when is it almost the Holidays???

Ok, so apparently November 1st is the day when it becomes acceptable for online retailers to start the Christmas specials and countdowns. Honestly, I'm not sure that I am ok with this. The other day, eBay informed me that there were 53 days until Christmas, ebay... Stop that. I can't deal with that right now. I've barely even started to think about thanksgiving, and even that is an ominous date because I have so much work due between now and then. Good grief. Amazon informed me of the looming red and green giant as well. Apparently its time to start those lists and get shopping for the best deals... So the best I can say is, happy hunting!
