Updates

So, my computer is now officially broken. The cost of fixing it is not worth it according to my computer guy and myself. That computer was about 5 years old. Which, in computer terms, is ancient. So I will soon be getting a new computer. More credit card debt here I come!

I have yet to update my photos from Chicago when I went to the trade show or my pictures from the trip to see the New England Patriots. I'm hoping to get my camera & cord in one place to upload pictures.

Right now I am babysitting. I am not however babysitting a human. I'm babysitting the newest member of T's family. The registered name is still up in the air I think, however she's been called Scout since she got to the house. I flew home on Monday from NE and then got in my car and drove down to Friendswood, TX. Scout howled for about 25 minutes cause she was in her carrier. She does NOT like her carrier. She eventually cried herself to sleep. Poor thing...

She's absolutely adorable. She runs and plays and then falls over and passes out.

Golden Saturday

Yesterday I went down to Friendswood, TX (3 hours away) to meet the puppies that T & the Kids may get. They were absolutely adorable. They had sharp little teeth that were around everything they could get around. They dug in the sandbox, ate the plants, chewed on sticks and any shoe near them. They will find out next week if they get a puppy. There are more people than puppies at this point. Fingers are crossed...

Their mother's name is Mocha. It's a "coffee litter" so their given names must have some kind of relation to coffee. Which is more difficult than originally thought...

Halloween 2007

This past Saturday was the annual Halloween party at Tam's. It was three days of set up and will take weeks to tear down. There were fog machines, a cemetary, inflatable haunted house, spooky trail, a tunnel of terror and more. One of my friends' kids said that it was the best party she has ever been to, except her own birthday. It was a great time. Here are some pictures...

I forgot to get a picture of the mummy hot dogs and the wonderful smokey punch. I was BUSY doin' stuff. There may be more pictures of that stuff on the other "party cam".

Pumpkin Carving

I don't remember carving my own pumpkin at any point of my life. This doesn't mean much though, I don't remember many details. The sister, however, can remember how many times we ran errands in a day when she was two. Last week I was given the task of carving. M & G drew what they wanted and I got started. I didn't empty out the middle or clean it. My job was strictly creating a masterpiece.



Unfortuantely, I also learned a lesson. The "RIP" carving has wilted a tremendous amount and therefore, the letters have sunk backwards into the pumpkin. I guess some before and after pictures would be appropriate. I'll work on that...

I think it may be time to go back to work. I was supervising the electrician at Tam's so she could go work. Fine by me!

New Book

I got a new book this weekend. It's "Blink". It's about thoughts and thinking. I'm on page nineteen. So far, it's pretty interesting. It's basis is that behind every decision, we really knew the answer in the first two seconds that we were presented with the problem/question. Instincts & subconsciousness. More to come.

7 weird things about myself:

3. My little toe on my left foot bends in instead of down.

4. I brush my teeth in the shower.

5. I haven't owned a brush in 7 years.

6. I've only had one dentist in my life.

7. I'm pretty sure i've broken between 8 to 10 fingers playing softball. Some more than once.
