Afternoon folks,
The weather here during the night was mental!! I got woke up by it about 5am - and I never normally wake up during the night (unless my neice is staying, I wake up really easy if she is here - must be some kind of instinct thing Haha!). Anyways, we woke up to the loudest wind and rain - it sounded like the window was gonna crash in!! In my just-woke-up-and-a-bit-dazed state, I actually wondered what I would do if they window had broken...
Anyway, I fell back asleep and it was a bit less windy when I left for work. Very heavy rain though (with big rain drops... if only it was a little colder, then it would have been snow I think!). I got soaked walking from my house to my car because I don't have a jacket with a hood - need to get one I think!!
Chrissy - To answer your question for school about drinking: I live in the UK and the legal drinking age is 18, which I think is totally fine. You can get married, have kids etc here when you are 16 - I didn't understand when I was little how you could do all that, but couldn't have a drink. But now, if anything, I think everything should be 18 rather than everything 16. I think the US age for drinking is really high.. especially since it's 3 years later than most other adult things. I agree what people have said about that if the age is lowered, then maybe people will drink even earlier than just now.. but I think that, if kids are gonna drink, they are gonna do it. Like here, they have increased the age to buy tabacco to 18 (although you can still smoke it from 16) - all this does I think is increase shoplifting etc because kids can't get served! 16 year olds are still going to get cigarettes if they want them... Sorry slightly off topic there LOL. So my answer is: I think it should be lower, but that's just my personal opinion
Thanks for letting me know who Rain was - he is pretty cute! I had never heard of him before.
I always wanted to do yoga too! My suggestion for losing weight is just to eat healthy and do more exercise, eg. maybe walk rather than take the bus etc. You should allow yourself chocolate and things every now and again - everything in moderation!
Caryn - Why did ROBsessed have to pull the page of pics? I hadn't saved them yet Oh I see you linked them again LOL. I will have to remember to do this when I get home tonight.
Thanks again for the WOWZA pics!!
Susie - How is the hubs job hunt going?
Christina - Wow, only 40 miles away from Ginnie? That's really short. And totally awesome!!
JennJenn - I can't watch that KStew video as I'm at work... I'll try to watch it later!
Tracy - Aww thanks for calling me pleasant! A vampire forehead...I think what my mom means is kinda a big(?) forehead connected to the nose a certain way. Ok that makes no sense LOL. I will try to find a pic of what I mean tonight! But yep I really hope that they keep EclipseWard the same for BD... Not only was the hair and make up perfect (I think! lol) but he just looked... happy!
Your Halloween sounds a lot of fun! I would have loved to have riden on the back of a truck going trick-or-treating when I was younger!
ps. I'm finally getting around to reading the last epi from Tips For A Better Living - so far I am going "awwwww!!"
missp - Yay for having a lot of fun with RBell! Just drop by when you can
Marielle - Thank you for telling us that Taylor is most likely not going to Rio!! YAY!!
Raine - Hey girl! We missed you! Defo check out Caryn's pics like [/b]Marielle[/b] said above. They are just... *explodes*
Okey-doke I'm off now. I'll try and check back in later!
