i was thinking of posting the highlights of the weekend

and then i realized it was friday. (hooray!) so, i'm posting the highlights of the weekend and this week.

to start, labor day weekend was most excellent.
i got birthday presents from my parents in the way of a 200 dollar shopping spree! with that my mother and i scoured woodfield mall (the mall of malls in the chicago area) for clothes that not only make me look like a grown up, but a sexy grown up. we settled on lots of tailored button down shirts, cute tshirts and blazers. and one pair of jeans that make me look tall and skinny. and i didn't buy one sweater...for anyone who knows of my sweater addiction, this is a big deal for me.

in between trips to the woodfield mall (i needed two), i had lunch, coffee and a trip to the local mall with red, which was lovely...hooray for highschool-like trips to the mall with an old friend!

this week flew by, despite my predictions that even with monday off it would drag. i think it only flew by, however, to bring next week closer. (i have an exam and a project due.)

last night i went to the first equestrian club meeting, which was a lot of fun and i met some really nice girls. they talked about some upcoming events, including a bonfire out at the barn, and a hayride, and lots of trails rides in the fall when it gets a bit cooler out. the club is connected with the riding teams, of which there are three: dressage, hunt seat, and western. i think after a semester or two of lessons i'd like to try out for the hunt seat or dressage teams - i used to be pretty good at hunt seat, and while i took lessons at iowa i did quite a bit of work with dressage. all three teams travel as well - i think it would be a lot of fun to get involved with the team, even if i only did it for a short while.

thats about it.
was there a point to that post? probably not.
