Well, the day has not turned out so great. While I was cutting up the meat for dinner, I cut my index finger on my left hand really badly. I don't think I am going to be able to throw for a few days at least...maybe more. It is still bleeding even with pressure and ice, an hour later.

So, if the stroganoff turns out good and they ask me for my secret ingredients, I can honestly say, "blood, sweat and tears!"

[Toni48]

Oh my gosh Monet. Did you have to go get a couple of stiches? I hope it stopped bleeding. I'm so sorry.

[Ellen]

No stitches, Toni. It was deep, but not too wide. The bleeding finally stopped after Justin had me put ice on it. Now it just hurts like heck.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I am determined to stay out of the candy tonight. Unfortunately, I bought things I like (already been in them). Then I found some bags of pretzels in orange and black. I like that for the little ones. I can do it and so can you.

Went to a lecture on WWII last night. I was bored. I guess DH liked it. Dinner was horrible. I went to bed hungry and was starving when I woke up. I tried some crockpot cheeseburger recipe. Yuck!

Did not make it up to walk this morning. I woke up at 4:00 am with chest pains. I have numbness in my arms from either the RA or neuropathies so who knows when it is real or not. I laid there for about 10 mintues before I could breathe. Probably gas in my chest cavity. I feel fine now. Just didn't want to get out in the dark and cold and have a heart attack.

Monet, I hate to hear about your finger. Hope it is not hurting this morning.
Nothing like an injury to throw off your whole day. Hope everyone helped clean up for you. Monet, you need to get out your broom and get some people back on here. I have tried with no luck.

Toni, I have been hurting like the devil this week. Never thought about the cold weather being the cause. At least the pie was made with Splenda. That is healthy for people who do not follow SB. I wouldn't worry about it. There will be times like that in our lives that we have to handle.



Better run to the bank. Have a goolish day!

Hello everyone. Finger is still sore. I am trying a liquid bandage on it. I am kind of afraid to put pressure on it though.

I got an email from BOB. She is without phone or internet until the 6th. She emailed me from work. She wanted me to tell you all she has not deserted us, just can't get on until the 6th.

I got a dremel tool and it came today, so I plan to read the owner's manual and try it out.

SOLLY: I agree...but I hardly know where to begin. Seems folks come back for a post or two, then go missing again.

Just poppin in for a quick post, but got yelled at because Im supposed to be carving pumpkins. Be back later!!

[Toni48]

Good evening all. I've been so busy today. Just when I started to get on here earlier I was needed outside. The contractor put the tin on the roof I think he'll finish the sofits tomorrow. I told him to watch for my cat that lives on the roof. I would hate to have her trapped in there. I had to go to Wal Mart today. I've got to get my son's birthday card off to Iraq so I had to run and get one. Can't believe tomorrow is the 1st of Nov. already. When I was going through town a little while ago little tricker treaters were running every where. I was very careful driving.

Monet-I'm glad you didn't have to get stiches. I'll bet it so sore and wanting to bleed today.

Solly- Oh my gosh I hope those weren't heart pains. I'm worried about you.

Techwife- Howdy there girl. How did Halloween go? What did your daughter go as?

Well guess I'll go. Happy Halloween.

[Ellen]

We got only two trick or treaters. I have 74 mini containers of play dough left! The package had 80, and I gave each of the girls three. I should have given them more.

Laura and Justin went out and bought a pumpkin and carved it tonight. They just finished it and we got some pictures with it with Kaeleb in his 'costume'. He was a Georgia bulldog football player. She liked the sweat suit and it was cheaper than a costume!

I just ate two little reeses peanut butter cups. That was more than enough for me. Bleh! They did not even taste good.

Good night!

[Toni48]

Good morning having my first cup of coffee. Jerry our contractor is already hard at work on the roof. Then he starts the underpinning. He's making the most horrid noices with the electric saw and tin. My little dog is having a fit. So you can see what kind of a day I'm going to have. I've got to work on my bedroom today and start getting stuff cleared out so Jerry can work in there probably next week. Boy what a job thats going to be. Our house is going to be a wreck.

Monet- did you end up with anymore trick or treaters? My sis in Springfield MO. only got one. But my brother in Denver was being swamped.

Will be back later to check the boards....

Good afternoon ladies.

It has been a diasterous day. Starated out with me leaving my computer at work that I needed for meetings today. Had to run in ick up that. Could not find ameter to park (normally park on the site, but it was blocked off. Didn't have any money for the meter, so the super had to bring me some. Had to wear a hard hat (hat hair), Then my coffee got knocked over all over me and the floor. Then had to rush to get to church at noon. The day usually goes all wrong when it starts off that way.

We had quite a few triack or treaters. I had 4 bags of candy and 60 bags of pretzels. I think there were 4 candy bars left and I am sure my DH has finished those off by now. I was good, did not have one! We had to leave around 7:30 so DD finished handing it out for us. I love to sit out and watch them all come up.

Getting my nails done after work and then I am doing nothing, other than wrapping some presents for the weekend. I am exhuasted today.

Toni, don't worry about me, it was probably just gas. Sounds like you will be living in a mess for awhile. Will it be done soon before the holidays?

Monet, I am sure your finger will be sore for awhile. Try not to use it. Have fun with your new tool. Lets see some pics of the little football player. Glad to know about BOB, I was wondering.

Tech, how are things going?

I am tyring a new enchillada recipe tonight, which should be SB legal. I have had it at a friends and it was delish. It is out the Kraft book. I'll let you know. Got to run, time to head out.
