Happy Halloween 2012

Can't wait to see all the little Trick or Treaters!



I mean those that will come knocking on my door
later today/tonight....


Not those that think they can trick you!

So what do you want first? The good news or bad news?

Ok, well I'll just relate them as they
occurred today...

Good news is...

I won another Halloween Contest! YAY!
Have no idea what the prize is but like 
I've said before, I am pretty easy to please
(pay no attention to my family, really, I AM!)

And now, the Bad (Sad) news...

He's back in!

I am beginning to feel like a regular
Push Me-Pull You!


And not liking it
one little bit!
@$!@#%^%@#%$!#@$%$%


Where's Dr. Doolittle when you need him?

It's sad, it's so sad, It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd

Milestone quickly approaching!

Just over the 9,000 page view count
and quickly approaching the 10,000
page view milestone.

Who would have thunk it?

Now if some of those viewers would
turn into followers...

Oh, that's right, they'll follow if I'd
get interesting...

Thanks for my small crew for hanging in
there with me.

I'm such a happy ghoul today!

Why? You may ask?

Well, that's simple enough.

After a great weekend,
mind you I am so easy to please.
'Great' in this weekend consisted of
sleeping in really late on Saturday and
chillaxing and Sunday, my daughter 
brought her son down and we went 
for a walk in the bright, fall sunshine.
Then a trip to Trader Joe's for some
yummo food!

See, who else would consider THAT 
a great weekend??????

Any who, back to why I am such a 
happy ghoul today....

I entered a giveaway on one of the blogs
I follow (and absolutely love it reading 
it everyday), Better After.  

Lindsay informed me I won last week's 
giveaway...

How cute is this necklace?
See how easy I am to please???
I don't care what my family & frends say,
I am easy to please.

Happy Ghoul, Happy Ghoul, Happy Ghoul!

Yay for Weekends!

Finished with Friday (sorta)
and looking forward to
relaxing for the next 2 days!

What plans do you have for
the weekend?

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

It's amazing how quickly the air can go out of your balloon!

Ugh, just when I thought today was going well...

It's amazing how something can make your day
take a downturn.

I know, I know, it's my reaction to the news but
really... I am deflated!

Ugh, I wish I were independently wealthy!

I'm Gonna Hafta Say It Again... 3 Day Weekends ARE GREAT!

Shame they all can't be 3 days long, huh?

I had my grandson Saturday day and night
and Sunday til just after dinner.

He's started walking a few weeks ago so
he's still shaky when it comes to walking.
It was so lovely here in the NorthEast that
we went outside on the lawn in the bright,
warm sunshine to play.

Little bugger decided to broaden his horizons
and took to the pavement, which led to the
apron at the driveway (which is sloped down
to meet the street) and... I guess you can figure
out where this is leading to huh?

Little guy did a nose dive into the concrete apron
and got scratches, cut and a bump on the face.
Oh no, I knew his mommy was gonna be mad at me...
her hubby said if it were HIS mom or the babysitter,
she'd say, Never Again! but it's ok since it's her Mom???

Oh well, I am sure my Scrump-Dylly-icious will spend
more weekends with Nana and Pop Pop, regardless of
my bad babysitting!

Spent a wonderful Monday with no deadlines!  Oh my,
how great would it be if we didn't have to have deadlines
to meet?  We could just do things as needed, when needed!

Picked up my son and went out to late breakfast, diner style!
YUMMO!  Just what I was hankering for, Cinnamon Raisin Pancakes,
two eggs over easy and scrapple!

Took him back, went shopping and off to the salon to
be beautified!  Well, let's just say that's what they call it
but I sure do give them a run for their money!

Weather was in the mid 80's and bright sunshine!
Life can be good most days!
I like 3 Day Weekends, do you?

3 Day Weekends are GREAT!

I was supposed to be heading to Charlotte, NC,
for business on Monday so my chance to take
advantage of the last 'floating holiday' of the year
was null...

But just yesterday I found out I didn't have to go
so I cancelled my flight and hotel and lucky me...

I get to use a 'floating holiday' day and actually
have a 3 Day Weekend!  YAY!  Looking forward
to having the extra day off on Monday...

Now the dilemma, what will I do??????

In the word of one of my bloggin' buddies....

HOLY CRAP!

Geez, I am so busy at work between 
meetings, going in early and leaving late,
it totally slipped my mind that I had 
a teeth cleaning appointment after work tonight!


I get home at seven, tell the hubby I picked
up two hoagies 'cause I was hungry and he 
says, "Oh that's funny... you get your teeth 
cleaned and stop and pick up hoagies!"

Then I go, Holy Crap! 
(or words to that affect)
I forgot about my appointment!


I am so busy that my mind is like a 
saturated sponge... I'm telling you, 
dear readers, if my head weren't attached
I'd forget that TOO!


HOLY CRAP!

Begins with F and Ends with K...

Getchur minds outta the gutter...
it's Fire Truck and oh what a 
special little Firefighter I have.


We celebrated Dylan's first Birthday
yesterday with the extended family
and friends and their kids with a party
at the house.


Weather was perfect considering 
Mr. Weatherman predicted spotty
showers but we had bright sunshine 
so I could escape from the gazillion
little ones and sit out back and enjoy
the day with my family.


Whaddya think?  Is this the best little
Firefighter you've ever laid your eyes upon?
I think so!  Even to the end as he readied 
for night night.
