Hugh Grant's accent is the highlight of my night.

I hope you aren't judging me because I'm in sweatpants and watching the Julia Roberts movie marathon on Lifetime alone a Saturday night. Not that it makes any difference to me, obviously, because I just told you about it. But still, I don't need any condescending remarks and I'm trying to avoid my reading assignments that I am way behind on.

"Could I stay a little bit longer?" -Julia Roberts
"You can stay forever." -Hugh Grant.
Melt.

My mom visited today. I love my mom for these reasons:
1. She drives four hours to come see me whenever I want her to.
2. She is giving me a car next semester so I can actually go to Target by myself.
3. She makes the best salsa ever and knows food is the way to my heart.
4. She always lets me pick the restaurants we eat lunch in.
5. She also loves all things New York, Royalty, Coffee, and Hugh Grant-related. Just like me.

I really wanted to go home with her today, but I have school and work this week. If I didn't have stories due, I probably would've left and ditched all my classes. I am in desperate need of a vacation and am so unmotivated lately. There may be a small level of homesickness involved, but only a little. I don't admit that easily, so don't hold it against me. I miss sleeping in a normal sized bed and eating full meals. I haven't been out of Iowa City since August, and I need a break. And my mom makes green bean bundles wrapped in bacon for Thanksgiving and I. Can't. WAIT.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I can't believe it's less than two weeks away. Mom and I went to the mall today and there were Christmas decorations everywhere. I swear, the Holidays get earlier every year. But, this inspired me to make my Christmas/Birthday list, so now I'm getting pretty excited. For the last week, all I want to do is curl up, wear sweaters, and drink apple cider. That is what I plan on doing over break. Feel free to join, I can make enough cider for everyone.

"I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her."
Dammit, Julia. You got me again.
