Kayden is possibly the cutest thing on the planet. Check your email for a picture. We went over to DS's until she started getting sleepy and ready for bed. She's still getting used to the &%$#@* time change, so she's ready for bed about 6:30. Then we went over to our friend's son's house to see all their grandkids. They live in a new subdivision and Wow! what a ton of little goblins they had ringing their bell. We ran out of candy and had to turn off all the lights in the front of the house. It was a good night for haunting - clear and cool, but no rain.
How did Jett do at her flyball class, Kiwi? Was she a good girl? Top of her class?
Aw, you are so right, she is the cutest little punkin!!! Such a little bright-eyed sweetheart!
We had loads of fun at Flyball. Jet was totally excited the whole time -- after all, other dogs! When she got a chance to run the hurdles (very low ones -- the first time she went over one, I don't think she even noticed it ), she got pretty excited. In fact, so excited that she jumped up into my face and knocked her head against my lip. I have a great big red sore in my mouth where my teeth cut Not a big deal, we had a great time. There were 5 dogs in the class, the instructor was very good -- no nonsense, didn't waste any time and seemed to know just what she was doing. We have homework -- we have to figure out whether our dogs are right- or left-pawed. Hmm
Went to the mall to catch the spectacle of hundreds of little kids parading up and down the entire mall in their costumes, collecting candy from every storefront. I can't say that it looked like all that much fun for the kids, it was like waiting in line for Santa Claus, but it was a hoot to watch!
Pumpkin is sooo cute. Remember when Muffin wrote about Little Pumpkin? How old would she be now?
I need craft ideas. I need a construction paper fish or a fish puppet or something fishy for kids to feed paper worms to. Fish with mouth. Please tell me.
wabby are you incinerating that i am a nutcase???? i wish i DID have the energy it seems that i must have by my insane ramblings!!!!!!!! you don't have my new email address!!! so i had to search through the old stuff that still comes in to see if there was a pic--------------DARLING baby girl photo~!! she looks so yummy and snuggy!!!!! what fun for you guys!!!! regarding all hallow's eve,we had the decorations up and about 150 kids showed up since we on a long stretch of a street----------if i can figure out my pics,i would post----------kiwi is trying to help me but i am severely computer challenged!
-----Only in the sweetest nutcase way, Bagzie. You know I love you. ...... and I love your ramblings, as you call it. Can't wait for pictures... of the kids and your decorating.
OK. after all my big talk, I haven't gotten myself to the fruit market to buy my pears. They're too darn 'spensive at the grocery store. I'll try to get there after work today. Except I also have to get to Costco after work today too, b/c we're out of TP at the shop and at home..... a disaster must be diverted!!! These are the important things in my life..... keeping everybody in TP......
My sis in law was over yesterday (DH's youngest sis). She sorta said she'd like to have Thanksgiving dinner w/ my crew so I guess that's the plan. It's shaping up to be a big Thanksgiving dinner.... which is ok by me... the more the merrier..... except I'm feeling tired already.
Peaches, no advice on crafty fishy. I'm plumb outta crafty fish ideas. Isn't there a website for stuff like this??? I bet Muffy's lil' punkin is in Jr. High by now. Time gets away from me.
I think I should go into business. Last night at the music boosters meeting, the new secretary begged me to help her use her computer because people weren't able to read the emails she was sending out. I'm expecting a call any time.
My kid may be coming home this weekend, and again the next weekend, and I might head down there the following weekend because she's in a dance performance and then she comes home for Thanksgiving. No wonder she's swamped with work and tired; she never just stays put and plays couch potato.
Hey, Cowpeach, my dog has worms; want some? sorry. I just discovered them. The vet is going to have to send me the medicine, although I guess I could spend 2 hours this afternoon and lets see, about $12, driving over there to pick it up.
Fish. Hmm, whatever you do, it should have glitter! The first thought that popped into my head was an old soft purse, especially one of those with the rigid metal opening that clips shut. A lot of coin purses like this have those openings. The great thing about that is, it's a nice wide opening and it will stay open if you rig it up right. Then you could dress it up with scales, eyes and fabric streamers or something. Of course it might take some work to make it look like a fish, but I'll bet it could be done.
Here's an interesting idea -- it's for a swimming pool, so part of it is inflatable plastic, but the body is made out of mesh like a laundry bag. Probably too big for feeding worms to.
I agree, Wabbit, running out of TP is a disaster that must be averted at all costs. Even for our little household, I keep a giant stash from Sams Club in the garage. If it starts getting low, I get very nervous and start collecting corncobs
Just a quick fly by moooettes....I am back in school and have to read 300 pages of crap by the end of the week My brain hurts. So I am a tad of a frenzy trying to remember how to study and remember crap I'll never use in the real world.
Whatchu studying, Schatzi? Good luck on the brain strain.
So, did you make a fish, Peachie? Inquiring minds want to know.
I gotta clean house today. Rumor has it that DD is coming home, but since we haven't heard from her, it is an unsubstantiated rumor.
So far, I have folded and put away 1 load of laundry, made the bed, and vacuumed the living room. Okay, Rosie vacuumed the living room. Right now, she is fueling up for further instructions.
I almost forgot -- did anyone catch Oprah yesterday? They had a very good show on weight loss with a couple of doctors who just published a book. If you missed it, they have a special on Discovery Health channel tonight called "You on a Diet" about the book. The thing that really made me sit up and pay attention was their graphic explanation of what actually happens when you get fat in the abdomen. We're talking really graphic, with show and tell. Don't watch it while you're eating dinner. Fair warning? The main point was that you really have to whittle down your waistline or you're going to die early. I'm actually motivated, not to mention alarmed.
Later kids

Reason: Actually thought of something on-topic to say.
Brain strain. I sure don't have that. Yes, Schatzi, we all need to know what you're studying.... and we need to be reassured you won't desert us.
I went to lunch w/ 3 friends today. We're going to start doing a friday lunch meet up. One of them was my friend who lost her husband last spring. It's hard for her, but she's trying to force herself to get out more and I hope it helps.
I have Oprah DVR'ed from yesterday. I'll have to watch it. Dr. Oz has been on before, and he's really interesting in an icky kind of way. He gets right to the ugly truth of what extra fat will do to your innards. All we worry about is how our jeans fit and that should be the least of our concerns. Have you ever noticed how many fat 90 year olds there are???? not too many.
.............and on that happy note, I'll say adieu for the weekend. See yas cows later.
Kiwi, who's the cute little girls w/ the telephone on your avatar?
Never Fear Schatzi is here.... I wouldn't leave you moovahlous cowsies :grphug: To add to my angst, my laptop went kabloeey last night... requiring a complete rebuild Thank gawd DH is a wire head and got me started...but I had to download,install, update blah programs allll morning.... including my EMAIL!!!! Bagazoid, you'll need to send me that other addy...since I lost it...
Kiwinni: have you upgraded to the fairly new version of Firefox?? If you haven't DONT... it seems quite unstable.. (or maybe i am)
I had problems with firefox shut downs, inability to find websites, and difficulty in general with Window shutdowns and session crashes...so with this rebuild I have gone to using IE again... which is not as fun...
I'm studying for my masters cert in Program Management... (PMI stuff... ) innnnnteresting ...brain cramping.....OY...must go

Food for thought indeed.
