We just returned from Chico. The brakes on the Honda had to be fixed, and we decided to have dinner at a restaurant we like. I have begun a new book on my Nook that really started out with a bang! Talk about attention-getting!!! It's called Scare Me by Richard Palmer. I bought several other books at Barnes and Noble and Costco: three cookbooks (plus my new Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays that arrived in the mail), Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh (based on the anecdotes from her blog, HyperboleandaHalf.blogspot.com), Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. Born to Run is about the Tarahumara Indians who have "honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury." The Devil in the White City is based on the "true story of two men--the brilliant architect behind the legendary 1893 (Chicago) World's Fair...and the cunning serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims to their death." In The Night Circus, "the circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Reves, and it is only open at night." (It sort of reminds me of Something Wicked This Way Comes.) I can hardly wait to finish one so I can read another! I'll keep you updated as I read. TTYT

Sounds like you chose great books! I hope you enjoy them all!!!

I love the smell of cotton, lol. I use a shower gel from Bath & Body that is cotton scented and I loveeee it! Christmas Cookie also sounds awesome....maybe I will go scope out Yankee tomorrow!


If you go check out some of the scents that I mentioned and let me know what you think!



Awww! I am sorry that she ditched you! She'll just have to make it up to you later! Ugh! Sorry you were dragged out to do more car shopping. That would bore me to tears lol. I hope that you enjoyed reading! Good night, sleep well, sweet dreams!

Thanks Jennifer!!!

Good night, MMC! I hope that everyone sleeps well and has sweet dreams. You're all in my prayers, as usual! I have to get up relatively early to get ready for my appointment with the cardiologist. It's just a precautionary appointment. My heart rate is always in the 80s or 90s which I understand is pretty high. I'd rather get it checked and see if I need to do anything about it or if all is good. After this appointment, all I have to worry about is getting my stitches out.

I may pop in tomorrow morning before my appointment. If not, talk to you all after! Have a wonderful Wednesday and drive safe to work!

Sending prayers to you Jennifer, I hope the appointment goes well!

I am up later than I wanted, but I am adding Christmas music to an SD Card to be ready to switch it for the season. That and I forgot that since I ordered the new Straight No Chaser Christmas CD through Amazon, I automatically get the MP3 version sent right to my computer on release day. I listened to it this afternoon, and I like it especially there original take on "Nutcracker."

I am going to try to go to work in the morning, I just hope my back will hold up.


Good night, everyone.

Thinking of you xmas and praying for you. I hope your back will hold up.

Good morning, MMC!

I have been up for hours already today. My fault as I took some allergy tabs last night and was out by 9 pm. Going to be a busy day again - love that!

Be MERRY!

Happy Pines Day!

Good Morning, All.

What a fine October day as we near the close of this month and the start of the next one
which will, at long last, bring us to our long awaited and coveted Christmas Season destination.

The data:
Days to Halloween: 1 (Hey! That's TOMORROW, isn't it!!)
Days to the Season: 14 (Down to 2 weeks!)
Days to Christmas Day: 56 (Only 8 weeks away!)
Great balls 'o fire, time's a wastin'!


Well, say Hey!
It's 'Pines Day!

And what a 'Pines Day!
Carl has gone all out with his "Halloween Eve Spooktacular" theme.
Lots of black and orange crepe paper.
Carved pumpkins.
Orange and black frosted fired twinkies.
"Free glasses of blood" (which I think -- and HOPE! -- is actually Kool-Aid).
Carl wearing a mask (he won't say what it depicts - you'll have to come to see).
Apple bobbing.
Black cats.
Hay rides.
Horror movie screenings in the theater.
Wow! Sounds like you don't want to miss this one!


Our high was 73 degrees yesterday with plenty of sun and no rain.
Nice!
Should be similar today, where we have started at 55 degrees.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everybody.
See you at the 'Pines for what sounds like a shockingly good time!

Halloween party at the Pines tonight? Yes!

Happy Camel Day!

I am heading to bed soon. I'm just waiting for my oldest to get in. She was supposed to go shopping with me today but ended up ditching me. She went shopping in the city with a couple of her friends. I don't blame her, I would rather go shopping in the city too. Then my husband dragged me to another car dealer this evening. He's making me crazy, I wish he would make up his mind already! I am exhausted. I'm going to read for a little bit while I wait for my daughter. I hope everyone is well and had a happy Tuesday!
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

I have actually only gone car shopping once with my then husband. All the other vehicles I have owned have been gifts from the Lord, Given to me without ever having to look.
I sure hope you find something soon you both love. What color do you want, because really , that is what is truly important !
