I haven't had any sightings in my area. No trees are up in stores, no displays, no decorations.....like Yukon Cornelius says "Nuttin". I am getting kinda bummed out about it. I know many people like halloween, but I can't wait for it to come and go. I think the stores OVERSTOCKED this year for halloween and they refuse to have Christmas items overshawdow it in hopes that people will focus on halloween. Maybe I am being too extreme, but that's what it feels like when you dont see a single bell, bough, or holly!! I mean, I have been waiting and waiting patiently. And now I feel its time and I am here in South Jersey on my Christmas bandwagon riding SOLO !!!!

Ok I am done ranting....please forgive me......I shall step down from my soap box now!! I hope everyone has a DELIGHTFUL DAY and a WONDERFUL Weekend.

You should come to Texas. We have had some Christmas goodies out since late June and 2 year round Christmas stores. I can get a Christmas fix anytime of year. I don't blame you for complaining!

Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!!!
 
Good evening,


Another long day at work, but I had a good conversation with one of my managers, and he said there is not going to be layoffs so that made me feel better, that along with other problems going on there, I got a lot off my mind.
Tomorrow we will be going to the Big E or Eastern States Exposition which is our state fair, get to see tons of animals, fair food, and everything that goes with it.

Have a good night!

Can't believe it's October already!
October did kick off well : yesterday was the university graduation of my boyfriend and it was an amazing crisp autumn day, and i was so proud :)
and today we are starting to celebrate the Siege of Leiden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Leiden) with 3days of festivities. Today a parade of children demonstrating their skills comes by our house. All day I'll be preparing cupcakes and candy to hand out :) and of course pancakes for us hope you'll be having quite as nice a weekend all of you

I never heard of that celebration. That sounds like so much fun! Have a great time!
 
I've got the weekend off, so I'm going to chill for now and then I'm going to fix up my computer. Trying to figure out if I want to go out for dinner or cook something.
 
Update on the stray cat. He is about 90% in good shape! He is meowing a lot now and couldn't while he was sick. He was so congested that he would try to meow and couldn't. One of his eyes is completely cleared and the other is still a little yucky. His eyes were so bad that they had junk coming out of both of them and shut. I plan to get him some terramycin eye ointment from work tomorrow to help clear that one eye up that won't heal. He did lay in front of my house for 2 straight days from being so sick. Now he takes his medicine, eats and runs off for the day. I seriously thought he was going to die even though I was giving him medicine. I am so happy he is doing better! I know he is happy too! cheesy

I hope you all have a great Saturday!
 
You know what I love best about this time of year....on Saturday mornings, I go to my Mom's to sit outside in the cool weather, drink coffee, and just visit. It's just wonderful. This morning, I had to go put on a jogging suit b/c if wasn't cool, IT WAS COLD!! Try going outside in shorts, tshirt, and "Flip Flops" (as we call the in the great state of Arkansas)! I had to turn right back around and head back in to change. As I did, guess who locked me out? That's right. Ms. Precious herself....my lovely Wife.....


Can't BELIEVE it's October! Seems like yesterday we were at 100 days to the season and now we are in the lower 40's!!! Christmas shopping today for us....we are going to get an early start.

It just amazes me how much I enjoy coming here and reading all your posts. Thanks, Jeff! This truly is one of my favorite places in the world!

Binger....Made.....Darlene Love is coming!
