Sorry about the lapse.
Going to Mobile, Alabama for my friends Amy and Richard's wedding on Friday.
I haven't seen the boyfriend in almost a month. I miss him.

Healthy Eating
I've been reading through some blogs online. Not necessarily health tip blogs but more the blogs of girls around my age living healthy lifestyles (certainly better than I've been recently).
Many of them have been training for or run marathons in the past and it's interesting to read about another person's experiences. The Boyfriend and I plan to run a half marathon in May 2011 and I've been hitting the gym a lot lately in the hopes of getting back into shape in order to begin training in January.
That said, Emily at The Front Burner, has won me over with all the different things she puts in her oatmeal! I kept reading about a chocolate oatmeal she made and even though I never looked up her recipe, I made my own this morning:
I simply added a tablespoon of Nutella to the Organic Oatmeal I cooked on the stove-top. Heaven. On. Earth.

Funemployment
is officially over!
I was hired today today to start training as a Case Manager for a Financial Services Firm.
I start in 3 weeks, which means I get to enjoy the next three weeks without too much pressure.
I am so relieved!

belated picture of the week
I want to celebrate The Boyfriend's Birthday at this inn, not far from my house. How cute!

Thoughts
I don't want to use this blog to spout off any kind of agenda. I have my belief and I respect everyone having their own.
That said, the story of Tyler Clementi makes me physically sick.
I'm unsure how anyone could not know the story of Tyler but here's a brief synopsis:
Tyler began his freshman year at Rutgers this year and was a young man struggling with whether or not he maybe he gay. One evening, he asked that his roommate not be in the room while Tyler had guest over. Said roommate went to a friends' room, remotely accessed his webcam and broadcasted what ensued in his room over the internet, using his Twitter account.
A few days after all this occurred, Tyler felt he had no other choice but to kill himself and jumped off the George Washington Bridge.
News reports have described Tyler as a kind individual and a talented musician.
I don't believe there was any reason for this to have happened, I don't believe Tyler had to die and I fully believe the roommate and his friend who did such an immature, hateful and ignorant thing should be prosecuted to the fullest extent they can be.
Tyler was a friend, a musician, a son, a human being. He should have been respected in life but I wholeheartedly hope his memory will be honored as it should be.

Falling into...
I'm not sure what we're falling into here in Philadelphia. It's been warm and today was especially hot and humid, even after a serious amount of rainfall. [on a side note: how is it October 1st tomorrow??]
In honor of the season that doesn't seem to want to arrive, I'm going to list my favorite things about fall:
*Cool[er] Weather: har har har, seems like a distant memory at this point.
*Fires in the Fireplace: I guess I can't have one without the other. :(
*Sweater Weather and Riding Boots: one day soon, I can hope
*Trees Changing Colors: I think this is the thing I missed most when I lived in Charleston.
*Anything Pumpkin: Pie, Candles, Ice Cream, Beer, Jack O'Lanterns
What do you enjoy most about Fall?
