Here you go, my Sweet Violets! Another new home for our daily musings....

"Thus nature has no love for solitude, and always leans, as it were, on some support; and the sweetest support is found in the most intimate friendship."

- Cicero

Yes, Claire's sticking w/her hippie theme... my camera died @ the Barn Halloween party or else I'd show you pics of C & Lady as hippies... I took a couple w/my phone, but that's the worst... if I can get them off I will post them... it was so funny... Lady had on a blond wig, a peace sign necklace, and a tie-dye blanket, + peace signs/hearts/flowers drawn on her all over... so funny!

Friends are coming here for dinner & t-or-t'ing tomorrow night... my house is an absolute SHAMBLES (I haven't had time to clean it, & evidently no one else who lives here notices, so...)... I'm hoping to get some cleaning time in today, + tomorrow morn... ugh. Don't know what I'm serving... something easy/portable as we'll be on the porch handing out candy... it may rain, which would be nasty...

What else?... oh yeah! Heather: pb'ing is bad... but having to do it while driving is the WORST -- been there! I feel for you!!

The rest of the weekend will be helping DS finish his at least 10-page paper on the French Revolution (+ comparing/contrasting it w/the Am Rev & English Civ Wars... yeah, right...), trips to the barn, soccer practices, & work. :sad:

Enjoy now!

Well, he is in bed by 6, so no Halloween-ing for him.. he's going to my parents as usual for Saturdays.

But I did get a costume, so he's been dressed up today :sad:

See if you can guess hah hah.

Oh and yes I'm fine, I have been reading the thread, just not much to say.

sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!

Laura, what you mean not much to say??? You need to blahblahblah w/ the rest of us. Everything ok? For real? ox

Oh my goodness!! So cute carson!! Love it!

So excited that it's Friday!!! YAY YAY YAY... I've been busy as a bee all morning so I can get out of here early. I gotta go pick up my doggies from the groomers and then get dinner started and then we are headed out to a party...

Then tomorrow is wedding in the AM and then another party at night. I need a nap already! he he he....

Heather - post pics of Ayla when you can. I'm sure she looks too cute!!

Michelle - FRITO PIES! We love frito pies on Halloween when we are outside waiting on trick or treaters. That or TORTAS. Mexican sandwiches... YUM!

Judy - I'm glad you liked the ZUMBA!! Did Kris like it? Post pics of Grady and Ethan if you can!!

Pam - I bet it's CRAZY there for Halloween with all they gays. Don't they just go all out for Halloween?? I know that in New York they do! Post pics if you can I would love to see it!

Jane - whatcha up to tomorrow?? Are you going anywhere with Charlie?? Was it last year when he dressed up and ya'll went to a bar?? I don't remember anymore...

What did everyone have for lunch today?? It's lunch time but I can't decide! The only thing that doesn't sound good is a hot dog :sad: he he he...

I have leftover tuna salad but that doesn't sound too good... For dinner I'm making caldo...

Oh my goodness, my brain is all over the place today... I feel so scattered. sorry for all the postings... I write then post then write more then post... i'm a dork...

Oh, and I'm gonna be a vampire again. Remember my costume from last year?? Looks renaissancey??

multitasking...posting while giving a spelling test.

I had a sal from cafeteria. good w/ bits of ham and turkey (little bits..budget cuts) and low cal italian. I also had baked doritos, and 2 recces (choc and peanut butter) cups.

Carson looks too cute!!

I had lunch out with a friend and had a bowl of turkey corn chowder. It was awesome. Had little bits of green chilies in it to give it a little kick.

Then we hit Walmart and I got a brace for my knee. Sure hope it helps! We're going out to dinner tonight for Nathan's birthday. Bob leaves tomorrow and I'm on my own for a couple of days. I plan on doing some serious house cleaning.

Laura... Carson is just the cutest little guy!!! I just love his smile. And he goes to bed by 6???? Grady doesn't go to bed until 9!

He's crawling all over the place now and is boosting himself up on everything he can trying to walk. Kris walked at 9 months so I'm expecting Grady to follow in her footsteps.. literally!!

Kris LOVED Zumba.. I sure hope I can keep up with it. It really is a good workout.

I LOVE corn chowder. Just LOVE it! I'm gonna look up a recipe for it so I can make it...

I had tacos from Jack in the Box. Makes my tummy hurt now.

It's 3'oclock and I'm OUTTA here...

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN

I love the rare corn chowder that doesn't have potatoes in it (I don't like taters IN food).

I had chips & cheese dip at Mexican Restaurant for lunch.

Yup everything's fine, it's just normally when I'm on the forum I have Carson in my lap or I'm on my laptop (I refuse to type letters, etc. on laptops, fingers are too big). I never have anything real important to say, just babbling, and if it's too hard to type at the moment, I don't think to come back later just to babble (like now!).

Carson is in bed by 6, but we have tried (in vain) to push back his bedtime, so he'll 'sleep in' later in the morning. He is up by 7am.. but anytime we try to keep him up later, even little at a time, it's a mess and he's so unhappy, so I gave up trying.

Now I just enjoy we get home from work, Russ plays with him for an hour and I put him to bed, and we're free for the rest of the night. Knocking on wood, I hope we stay this way for a while!!

I've gotten use to being up at 7, I just wake Russ up early now (Carson use to take a nap again around 8 and we'd get up at 9, be at work around 9:30)... now we just go into work around 8.

That's so exciting about Grady moving, Carson hates tummy time I don't know if he's ever going to crawl!

AND I am hungry for sweets, and seeing Reese Cups did not help. Ungh!!!!!!! lol SO glad I didn't buy real halloween candy this year.. I would be devouring it.

Ayla's schedule is usually 9 PM to 9 AM . . . or something like that. I can't see putting her to bed earlier because we miss her too much during the day and we want to spend some time with her.

I am afraid we might be spoiling her a bit. After waiting all day to see her, she gets constant attention at night amongst the rest of the family. Her babysitter is also the kind of person that gives her tons of one on one attention throughout the day. I am not sure she is going to know how to entertain herself in the future.

Haydee, that wasn't halloween with Charlie dressing up!! That makes me laugh though!! He was one of three contestants in the Mr Leather contest. Too funny!!

I am working tomorrow and then going over to my parents. I am becoming very reclusive!! I am bad!!
