Fall Break

I had such a good weekend at home, and  I really did not want to come back to Knoxville, but alas here I am.  The second half of the semester is always so stressful, but I am going to try to stay positive and hopefully keep afloat.  Here are some of the highlights from the long weekend...


 Thursday my mom and I went to Goodwill, and I had one of my best record scores to date.  Some poor soul had obviously given up a great collection, and therefore I got the Stones, Bowie, Elton John, Steve Miller Band,  Joan Jett, Journey, and Pat Benatar albums all for 99 cents!  There were some more that I wanted, and probably should have gotten, but I was trying to be good and limit myself.

Friday night, my mom and I went to see the Chihuly glass at Cheekwood.  If you are not familiar with Dale Chihuly's work, it is mindblowing, and if you ever get the chance to see some you should go.  Cheekwood is a lovely place, but it is my opinion that if you are going to have an event like this at night, then you should probably make sure that all of the pathways are properly lit.  It seems that all of the little old ladies in the Greater Nashville area were there Friday night, and I spent most of my time worrying about them falling on the uneven stone paths and steps that you could not see...at all.  The glass was still lovely though...

Lovely right?  Also lovely, this girl...
