Girls Night!

Sometimes it’s just too quiet in my house….or life….. I’m not saying that I crave drama, or any such nonsense, but I do crave human interaction and weekend plans.

The last couple of weeks have been slow to say the least. Jeff has been recuperating from shoulder surgery and so we haven’t done much. I know Jeff loves it. He loves having down time and being able to spend the whole day doing absolutely nothing. I find that I don’t like to be idle. I get bored with T.V. and we’re not really doing anything to the house until after Christmas, so there isn’t much there either. I like to read, but I’m a fast reader and before I know it the book is finished and I’m right back where I started.

That being said…I am so looking forward to this weekend. Sarah is coming up and we have a girls night planned. Thank God! I told my mom I feel like I have cabin fever. I don’t really have any friends that aren’t married, or have children and can’t just take a night off to visit with a girlfriend. I have been needing this like nothing else. It doesn’t have to be anything big. We’re just planning on dinner and a movie. But it’s enough!

YES WE CAN!

Come January, Barack Obama will be our new president! I am thrilled beyond words. Jeff and I were sitting on the couch watching his victory speech and we knew we were witnessing history. It's amazing to think that our grandchildren are going to be reading of this day in their history books.

For the first time since I was an eligible voter I feel like my voice has been heard. I know that I'm only one vote, but I know now that my vote counts. I'm not so naive as to think that Barack will fix all of our nations problems. He's stepping into quite a large pile of mistakes and it will take some time to even begin to scrape the surface.

I also don't think that Bush single handedly flushed our nation down the toilet either. But, he did have eight years to make or break this country and just look what he and his party has done to us.

For the first time in a long time I have hope for our country and the people in it.

BARACK the VOTE!

Go Vote!

This could happen to anyone! :)

Can We Say Emotional?

Last night I was watching Bee Movie. It's a kid's movie about a bee who sues humans for all the honey that they sell while the bees produce it for free. In the movie, the bees win and they quit work. Nobody pollinates the flowers and they die. At the end, they all get together and pollinate the last flowers on earth. With the stupid song, and the flowers coming back to life....I almost started crying! I actually had to fight against getting teary eyed. Sometimes, I feel like such a dork!

Frustrated

I deleted my last blog out of frustration. Daisy Mae is a good dog, but the day after I posted my blog we came home to find a huge puddle of drool on our couch. She started acting skittish around Jeff again and ended up running away. A neighbor found her and put her back in our yard.

I just get so frustrated sometimes. Jeff and I have argued about her, and I sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it. At the end of the day, I know that we're doing a good thing and it will just take time. It just gets tiresome when it feels like we taking one step forward and then two steps back the next day.

Enough With The Heavy Stuff!

I've noticed that last few entries have been a little too serious. So, what's going on in my little world? Not a whole lot, just getting ready for our annual pumpkin carving party!

Jeff and I started this tradition four years ago and it's going strong. The only time we've skipped a year was last year because we were living with Rick and Gloria and didn't feel right to throw a party at a house that wasn't ours.

The first pumpkin party we hosted did not have a very large turn out. Jeff's cousin and his wife came, as well as our friend Sonja. I think everyone carved a pumpkin, and it was fun to light them and put them on the porch for an evening.

This year is promising to be a very big carving party. We have roughly 15 or so guests coming and I'm still not sure where I'm going to put them while they're carving their pumpkins. That's my number one rule...if you wanna come to the party, you'd better bring a pumpkin and some carving tools. I hate it when grown ups forget how to have fun. Why do we have to wait to have kids to do this kind of stuff?

Anyways, I'm still trying to decide what to serve. I'm thinking potato soup and snacks, but we'll see. I'm just looking forward to having friends and family in our home, having a good time. I can't wait to see what our porch will look like this year with 17 pumpkins all lit up!
