I know it's been forever!

The desktop computer took a nose dive last wednesday and I've spent the last week trying to fix it. I think I've about got it working again - sort of. I hate computers when they don't work, mainly because I have no clue how to fix them. If it weren't for the help of Kelly and Kevin I probably would have chunked it in the trash. Thanks guys! It's been a pain in my you-know-what but it's functioning again.
I'm hanging out today with my DF Angel!! They came down just for the day. Got in about 2am and are leaving after dinner. Way too short of a visit but I'm thankful for every minute. And I get to see the baby!! He's only two weeks old and SO SWEET!
Gotta go get some work done, but have a great weekend!!

$1.92

Your eyes are not deceiving you that's a "1" in the dollar position, and that's how much I paid for GAS yesterday!! Somebody do a little happy dance!

I'm getting Grace ready for school and then I'm going to go VOTE. Don't forget to let your voice be heard today!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. We had a blast! Thursday night we carved pumpkins - well, a pumpkin. My DF Nonya gave me this great idea that those carving kits were fun and easy so I decided that was the ticket. OMG! It took forever. The kids were so excited until I cut the tops off and told them to dig out the stuff. WHAT? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING RIGHT? YOU WANT ME TO STICK MY HAND IN THERE? Even my sweet little girl who is not scared or grossed out by anything wouldn't touch it. So here are Tanner and Grace with spoons, the little carving knives and whatever else they could get a hold of trying to get the goo out without it actually coming in contact with their skin. It was fairly comical. I had to fling some on them a couple of times just to hear them scream. Mean, I know. CJ finished when he got home that night and it turned out pretty good.
We went to Shaunery's house for trick or treating. It's an annual tradition. She lives in a neighborhood that has only one street in and out and they block it off about 6pm. Our normal group - Wharton's, Blann's, Lobsinger's, Nonya & Co (just didn't seem right to put Burnette's?), Eric and Jayla (because Jen and Wes were at the track - lucky you!), Sylvia, Jane, a couple other people I did not know, Us, and Brian, Beth, Lily and Rye! WHEW! We had FUN, FUN, FUN! Can't wait until next year!
