Today, I woke up on the right side of the bed.
Even though I got a good attack from Geno this morning, I was still in a good mood all day, and I was even mildly productive!
My battle wounds from Mr. Kitten
I finished the book I was reading, went to the store, put together my tutoring lesson for this week, watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1, cleaned my room, went for an 11.8 mile bike ride, and made some chocolate chip boatmeal for my breakfasts this week. Wahoo! Go me!
Today got me thinking about the rest of the month. I have a lot to look forward to this month, and I thought I would let you all in on what I have planned!
First up: Now that I have finally read all of the Harry Potter books and watched the first seven movies, this weekend I am going to see the final movie in IMAX! 🙂
Also this weekend, I am going to see the man that I love. Andrew McMahon and Jack’s Mannequin are playing in Baltimore on August 7th, and I am going! If you don’t know who he is, check out my love for him here.
I just love him...
Following the concert, I am heading back to my sister’s house for a few days. I interned at the Library of Congress last summer, and I am going to go back to visit my boss and coworkers. While I am there, I feel another trip to Trader Joe’s is necessary! From DC, my sister and I are heading to my parent’s house for my next adventure!
My family and I as well as Travis are heading to Canada for a few days. I haven’t been there in a few years, and Travis has never been there at all. We are spending the weekend around Niagara Falls, and I cannot wait!
American side of the falls with my college swim team a few years back!
The month doesn’t end there, though! After Canada, I will be back in Shippensburg for a few days before heading back to my parent’s house. First, I am getting my hair chopped for Locks of Love (assuming it is finally long enough). The next day, my cousin and his fiance are getting married! 🙂 Yay! I love weddings and I am so excited for them!
I think that may be all I have planned. Working a few days here and there and classes starting up should also be included, though neither of them are nearly as fun as the rest of my month. Throughout the month, I will still be training for my bike ride which is coming up in September! 🙂
Now, I want to hear what you have in store for your month of August.
Do you have any things you are packing into the last month of summer?
What do you have planned for this month?
A parting picture:
I pledge allegiance, to the flag...
