So, here I am at work, immigration officials swarming all over the place trying to apprehend a groom whose visa is decidedly suspect!! Trying to eat my birthday cake at the same time but leaving little chocolate crumbs all over my desk - very professional!!!

The city has started putting up its Christmas decorations. I've taken a picture but instead of it saying "Merry Christmas from Dundee City" it looks all pixillated and warped. You may still get it anyway and you can decide!!

I'd planned on treating myself to a pumpkin spice latte but as my feet haven't crossed the threshold since I got in the morning, that will have to wait till another time!

Not planning on anything special tonight but I think we're going out for dinner at the weekend (any excuse, eh?!) Bruce made my birthday cake - he's on vacation here for a week before going back to his Grade 2/3 class next week. Came home last night and he presented me with a devil's food cake!!!! He and Betty Crocker did well!!!!!!!!!!!! So, breakfast was chocolate cake as I didn't want to start it until today!!!

Is it just me or is it every way you turn at the moment, Christmas is creeping ever closer??!!! About time too!!!!

Happy Birthday, Maureen!!!!! Enjoy that cake!!!

Morning!

It is dry, sunny and crisp today. The first day that it has stopped raining for the last couple weeks. The rain will resume tomorrow with heavy downpours.

I took the opportunity to walk out to the shops with my youngest after taking my other to school. I bought some sweets for trick or treating. I also got a few things for the children's Halloween goody bag like Halloween sticker and activity books, glow in the dark swords , Smurfs Sleepy hallow and a few other little treats. I always give them a little goody bag on Halloween just like I do on Christmas Eve.

I am slowly getting through some little jobs around the house this week which is good. The electric fire stopped working this morning, hopefully DH will be able to sort it later.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

I bought Halloween candy a couple of days ago and my kids already broke in to it. I need to pick up more!!

Hello all!!! Just popping in to say hi. I never intend to stay away as long as I do, I hope everyone is well. Have a great day and upcoming weekend!

Hi there SIT, nice to see you!!!

We had our first frost, too, but not as much. I got all sorts of comments about wearing my winter coat to walk Jude to school, but hey - it's 35 degrees, so I don't care if it's October! I need to be WARM!!! I love this weather!

I SHOULD be getting ready to go volunteer at Jude's school but I'm wondering if I will actually go today.. up lots of the night with a coughing little guy, coupled with these chilly temps and wind makes me want to just snuggle up at home for the AM.... hmmm..

I hope your son feels better very soon!!!

Hope Maggie gets better soon!!!!

Thanks Made!!!

Hey all!!

Can you believe only 2 months until Christmas Eve... I have my 7 y/o home with me today...she woke up with a slight fever and a bit of a cold so she is actually watching a Barbie Christmas right now.. I do have my Christmas music going while I am working.

Had to turn my heat on this morning only 62 this morning in the house. Here in CT it is only 43 degrees and we supposed to get a frost tonight.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Sending get well wishes to your daughter!!!

Wow! Is that normal October weather ?! I live in a mountain region and the earliest dusting we have had is 28th of October and it just dusts the peaks!!! I love snow

Hi Meceka, to answer your earlier question, my gut tells me they are going to replace him with someone already on the staff like Lloyd McClendon or maybe even Lamont. I hope I'm wrong. I would love to see them hire someone fresh and new like Brad Ausmus. What are your thoughts? Have a good night, sweet dreams!

Hi, Bullypup! I think they are going to go in house, too. I see them conferring with Leyland as to who his successor will be since he had done such a good job overall and he has mentioned that he wants to stay with the team in some capacity. Someone fresh and new would definitely be interesting and it just might be the impetus they need to be world champions again. That would be sweet! Have a MERRY day!

59 days till Lovemas ..... Yabba!!

Dabba Do!
