cold weather seriously wrecks me. as much as i love it, it makes my nose run constantly, making me feel like i have a head cold, makes my poor hands dry out and crack. lotion is not my friend, either. especially if it is greasy. hate that feeling. guess i'll learn to deal with it.

i won't let this get me down, though. it's my last few days of vacation. i go back to school on wednesday. before i know it, i'll have my GED and i'll be ready to start college. the end of vacation and the beginning of school is always something that is bittersweet. i'm just grateful i was able to get a vacation this year. it had been three years since i had a vacation. it's so nice to feel like a normal 'student'. to get breaks when everyone else gets them. normalcy is sometime one of the most beautiful things.

looking forward to...

I bought a scarf almost like this with the sweater below. Still have yet to wear it. I may choke myself if I decided to wear it with the weather like it is now. Humidity + scarf on neck = death.



I bought this sweater in gray a month ago before I went to New Jersey thinking it would be nice and cool, but I never got to wear it. We're still sweating it out in the 90's here in South Florida. So this is definitely at the top of the list.



I've already had a cup of hot cocoa but it didn't turn out too amazing. I'm waiting for when I can curl up on my couch and drink a cup of this with the crisp air outside. I'm afraid i'll have to wait until about December for this, though!

Tomorrow: A list of things I will dearly miss this year, once again...

What are some things you are enjoying now, or looking forward too with the holidays upon us?
