OHIO

Ohio, what is there not to love about Ohio?

we have...

Cedar Point and Kings Island. I love a good roller coaster, even if the giant hills tickle my stomach so bad I can't breathe for the time being.

THE Ohio State Buckeyes. of course I'm going to include my Buckeyes. Scarlet and Gray all the way!! Go Bucks!

Melt. we have a restaurant called Melt. it's been featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. it's delicious, and I've talked about it a few time before. I love you, Melt!

Indians, Browns, Cavs, Monsters. even though I know they basically all suck, I still love them and nothing will ever change that. going to the Jake for a Tribe game, or tailgating in the munilot pre-Browns game is some of the best times.

the weather. we're not close enough to an ocean to get hurricanes, maybe just a little rain and wind from it. we're not really in a high tornado area.. yes, we get them but not that often, and they're usually not too bad. earthquakes are the same way, we'll get one occasionally but they're nothing like California. sure, the winters are mothereffing cold and (at least in my area) get pounded with snow, that's really the worst if it.

I could also mention...
-we're bordered by Lake Erie
-close enough to Niagara Falls for a weekend getaway.
-Cincinnati Skyline Chili
-Neil Armstrong, The Wright Brothers, Bob Feller, Cy Young, Drew Carey, and a crap ton of Presidents.
-big cities and small town farms
-at least we're not Detroit (no offense to anyone from Detroit)
-Ohio is ranked #15 for places to retire.

typical day in the life of Cassie...

well, that really depends on what day it is. some days I have classes, some days I have work, some days I run errands. so I'll just give y'all an overall sense.

wake-up. most-likely from my Eric Church alarm.
either get ready for the day, if I have somewhere I need to be. or go downstairs and lounge around a bit, if I'm not in any hurry.
do a little blogging.
then I do whatever it is I have to do (school, work, errands, laundry, etc)
all of that is completed within an hour. unless I'm not in a hurry.
when I'm done with whatever I had to do, it's back home I go.
usually when I get home I eat a late lunch.. maybe squeeze in a workout.. do any homework I need to do.. maybe watch a movie.. whatever I feel like really. until 4pm then it's time for Ellen.
unless I'm at work, then I'd still be at work.
after Ellen, mom starts dinner. sometimes I help, if it's something I can pick at through the cooking process. and we listen to the news.
after dinner is usually Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. unless there's a game on.
at 8pm begins our nightly shows. if it's a day where there is nothing on that we watch, we'll either flip channels or watch some dvr-ed shows. and if that all fails then dad and Brian watch their hunting shows.
about 10pm everyone goes to bed. this is when I either type up a blog post, finish homework, or browse pinterest.
then I usually read until I fall asleep.
again, it depends on what day it is. and weekends are different- I'm usually at work all day, then have plans for the night.

...exciting life, right?!
