Hello

Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. We did. We were able to spend quite a bit of time with my brother and sister in law, that came from Georgia, so that was nice. We learned how to play a new game that they brought with them called Apples to Apples, so that was fun.

We finally got our Indian summer this week. The weather has been beautiful. Today we are supposed to have record breaking temps. Close to 70. Today the sun isn't out though unfortunately. Then by Friday they are talking snow. Lovely! LOL Yesterday I raked up four bags of leaves, but you can't even tell. Alton has been telling me that he was going to get our lawnmower out and mulch them all up, but he never has. I just wanted to get the stuff around our drive way and in front of our deck up, because the leaves keep getting dragged into the house on our shoes. Then they wind up in the kitchen!

Woes of the holiday season!

Isn't the holiday season supposed to be a happy time of year? This year is already giving me a headache! We are having a hard time dividing our time between Alton's and my sides of the family. I know a lot of people alternate holidays between families, but I am trying to avoid doing that. The hard part is that for each holiday--Thanksgiving and Christmas--we have family coming in from out of town that we want to be able to see. It just seems that on the holiday we are constantly running from place to place that we hardly have a chance to enjoy anywhere that we go. And if we don't go to certain places it just doesn't seem like the holidays. So if anybody reads this and has any suggestions I would definitely like to hear what you do if you have the same situation. LOL

Haircut

Today I got my hair cut. It's been over a year since the last time it was cut. I decided to go to a new girl that my friend is friends with. She did an EXCELLENT job! I love my hair!! I told her how I wasn't quite sure of what I wanted done, so she let me look through a style book. There really wasn't anything that jumped out at me. So she suggested some long layers. So I said go for it. I was pretty much up for anything except short. Now the whole thing is getting it to look like how she did it!!! She blew it all dry and flipped it up in certain places. I hope I can do it. The best part is that she only charged me $20!! Awesome!!

November Already

Can't believe it's November already!! Hope everybody had a fun Halloween last night. We went trick-or treating in our neighborhood. There weren't many people handing out candy, but that didn't matter because Dylan was ready to quit after about two blocks! All he wanted to do was go home. I have no idea why! At the last house that we tried to get him to go to all he would do is sit in their front yard. LOL The people were sitting on their front porch even! All he had to do was walk up and get the candy. He wouldn't do it. So that was the end for us. Maybe next year he'll be more into it. Alton and I were kind of bummed, me especially because Halloween is my favorite holiday. Oh well.
