Old Friends

This is not too common for me to be writing about my weekend before it's even over...but I couldn't help but blog about it anyway...

Yesterday was a pretty short day that consisted of my first class being cancelled, which was a good thing but still had to go to all the way to class to find out it was cancelled because there was no email about it, just written on the board in class...then I got to see some old college friends during lunch which was nice because I got to catch up with them and hadn't laughed that much in awhile :) my last class was not too long, under 40 minutes thankfully and then had to go run errands with my friend which paid off because I got to pick up my car from the mechanic. I was happy to get the car back, but it was very expensive just for an inspection, but hopefully we will be getting a new car sometime soon...that night also I got to see an old friend from high school which was nice because it's been awhile. 

Today must have been the best day though because of all the people I got to see. I woke up late, but finally got to Beverly to see Jimmy! It had been a little while since I had seen him last since he is an hour away from me. We were going to go to Salem but it was too crowded and parking was not anywhere to be found so we decided to just stay close to campus. We first went to a small candy store where everything is all homemade and it reminded me of the little shops I used to go to in the white mts. I bought a lot of milk chocolate and truffles which made my belly happy :) We then went up the road a little where we came to a little town where there were lots of shops and we found an organic/healthy food shop place called Wild Oats. The store had a ton of vitamins, healthy food, and other products. I bought a few things: hummus, soup, shower gel from alba with coconut milk in it, and moisturizer with shea butter, it's hard to find such good organic stuff near home so I was excited when Jimmy and I found this shop. We grabbed food after at a little sub shop up the street and had grilled cheese with tomatoes, which I haven't had in awhile, it was so delicious. We also got to play frisbee for awhile by the beach which was amazing because Jimmy lives right on the Ocean. :) We eventually grabbed dinner and I ate so much I was happily full :) 

When I got home I passed out because I was exhausted, but when I woke up I finally decided to go out and visit a few more old friends :) We got to play pool for a few hours, and I won once but then lost after that miserably! Tomorrow I get to see family from Virginia and more old friends, so so far this weekend has been great because I have seen so many old friends and got to relax, which doesn't happen too often these days. Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be nice enough to do apple picking or have a picnic! :D

New Beginnings...

I always tell myself that I am going to blog daily and keep up with this...but I have put this off for too long...I finally decided to try and keep a regular schedule with this...HOORAH! I definitely miss blogging also, not going to lie, reading Jimmy's has gotten me back into blogging! Among keeping a regular schedule with my blogging, I decided I am going to start doing some workout classes that my school is offering this semester, like Zumba, Yoga, and Kickboxing! I am very excited to start trying these classes because it will mix it up, especially since it is getting colder and harder to always go for runs outside. I detest running on a treadmill! 
>.< I do have to admit though, it is nice being able to run in this weather with the crisp October air, I am definitely a Fall girl versus Summer! 
      School has been keeping me very busy this semester as well, but it has been a good schedule for me because I am actually really enjoying my classes, even though it is a lot of work and I barely get free time. It is nice though when I get free time because when I get to see my friends it makes it all the better, especially since most of my close friends are away at school or have moved. I am hoping to visit my friend Jimmy this weekend and maybe take a day trip to Salem, MA! I have not been there for over a year, so it would be nice to visit, especially since it is the month of Halloween! I still have not decided if I am going to dress up or not for Halloween since I will be going out for trivia night, maybe maybe not. 
      Another new thing I am trying, well going back to is being healthier...over the summer I really kept track of what I had been eating and I had a really healthy routine so I am going to try to go back to that. These days I feel like I'll eat whatever is around or if I even have time, which has not been making me feel well (energy wise, etc) so I'm hoping that if I start eating healthy I will feel better and maybe get back on a normal eating schedule, since my daily schedule of work/classes is crazy enough!

Think I'll start adding pictures to these blogs....
