Rebecca needs to get back to basics and bike-riding.

I have to admit that this year, Back-to-School wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. I did have a few days when I thought my voice was going to give out, though. To celebrate it being on its way out, I went to Little Caesar's last night (for the first time in almost two weeks!) and rented Let Me In. I've made a goal to try to watch one child actress movie every month.

Our laptop is running a bit faster now, thanks to me for buying a new splitter for our cables. Who knew splitters could go bad? The drive to the mall had me in tears because I was stupid enough to go on a long western drive at sunset without my sunglasses, and Muse Watson doesn't have a drivers-side visor. But once there, I got a free sandwich from Chick-a-Fil and found greeting cards for Rosh Hashanah in the Hallmark store! They made this newly-Jewish girl go SQUEE! (Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It falls at the end of September this year.)

I still haven't seen my story for the ficathon yet. I know my prompts were hard to work with, but I'm starting to get a bit impatient here. Even more aggravating, I've yet to here back from the person I'm writing for. Hmph. But I do have some good news:

32 DAYS LEFT until the Season 9 premiere of NCIS! And judging from recent spoilers, it's going to be a juicy one!
