I have now lived in Knoxville for over 4 years. And I pretty much have done everything I could ever imagine doing. Except.... going to these museums.
McClung Museum
East Tennesse History
I love museums, like a lot. I love knowing random facts or being able to drop obscure knowledge in the middle of conversations. Not only will this help my street cred, but it will keep my mind active and I will be less senile when I'm old (which is good for everyone's benefit, not only mine).
By the end of October, I will have gone to both of these local museums. Mark my words!

A Little Sunshine in My Life
Things I love and brighten my day:
1. Randomly seeing family when you are completely unexpected it. Today, as I was running errands throughout the whole hospital, I look up and who do I see? My Uncle and Aunt. Yep, I was so excited! My Aunt was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease a few years ago. She has been in and out of treatment at UT-Med Center ever since in the research dept. She has gotten somewhat better. She actually recognized me today and acknowledged me first today. This is HUGE. She hasn't remembered my name in a few years, so this is a big deal. So other than just seeing them, her improvement also brightens my day. No, that's probably the week.
2. Not sitting at a desk. Some people love it, but I hate it. Today, I have only been IN my office as long as it has taken to type this :) I would rather be worn out than bored.
3. Nutella. I have always loved it, but living with Melissa.. I feel like I enjoy it far more than I ever did before. Like I eat it on a pita every morning for breakfast. It's fantastic, and any day that starts with Nutella will be a good day.
4. Birthday weeks. My birthday is on Saturday, and I have already enjoyed 2 cakes in honor of this special day. 22 sucks, but cake is good.
5. FOOTBALL. I love football. Love it. Luckily, UT's season starts this Saturday which doubles as a good day. Birthday + UT football = Fantastic day.
6. Boomsday! The nation's largest Labor Day firework display? Yes, please!
Look at all that orange! GO VOLS!
