Belated Valentine's Day!

Hello again, from your favorite nerd!
Happy Belated Valentine's Day and do hope that it was wonderful to you.

Mine was pretty great. I got flowers and some great chocolates from my grandmother, wonderful cards from the people I love, and I got to watch Shooter. Such a great movie! I had never seen it before, but I must say that it is truly under-rated.

Anyway! I wanted to gloat about my last adventure before I tell you about my next one. I tried grits. Yes, grits. To some of you that may not be much a feat, but to the rest.. I know you understand where I am coming from.

My mother went to school in West Virginia and so of course she's been a fan of grits since then. She has always told me that I would love it, but I refused to even look at it. You can't blame me. The appearance alone isn't exactly the most enticing. I have been slowly building myself to try new things, especially of this type, such as trying oatmeal... get used to it... then liking it.

My opportunity came when I saw Cheese Grits at the top of the brunch menu at this little place in the city called The Kitchenette. Adorable, by the way, and you can't miss it because the light blue and white polka dots stick out like a sore thumb against the aged red brick behind it. Well, anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with two things... Star Wars and cheese. I figured that if I didn't like the grits then I would at least like the cheese that was on it. To my surprise, and possibly demise, I loved them! I couldn't resist. I ate until all the cheese was gone and then I put syrup in them and I loved em even more!

I was sad to see my long fueled feud end, but was happy that I got up enough courage to try it and now I can enjoy it. Especially on my trip to the south tomorrow for Presidents day weekend! I will tell you about all the fun places I went when I get back.

Apologies!

So sorry to be away so long, but how could you not forgive that face.

Life has been hectic to say the least. I'm trying to square things away for possibly going to school next fall and I seem to have the photographers version of writing block. I truly have no idea what is wrong, but I seem to be in some sort of funk. This might sound lame to all of you, but I feel like it's my room.

I'm still living with my parents and going from dorm life to home life is nothing less then stressful. Always having to let them know where your going and if you're coming home is hard, but I know they love me. My room... is... adolescent. I don't mean in the "I still have dolls and teddy bears all over my room" kind of way, but more in the "sky blue walls and purple and green tye dye gymnastics border" kind of way. It has to go.

Unfortunately, but room is filled with things that are very hard to place.. especially since half of it came from my apartment and I have no where to put mugs in a bedroom. One step at a time though. I figured I'll get started on the packing everything up, putting it in the attic, and changing the easiest thing I can. My bed. Just got new pillows and a bed topper and now I want to take a nap.

If anyone knows of any comforters that are quirky and fun, I'm all ears... or eyes I suppose.

Till next time!
