Ten Things




It is that time again!  To reflect on things that have made you smile during the past month.  Emmy who is our lovely host usually does this on the last Tuesday of the month, but since she just got back from a trip she is doing it tomorrow.  So if you still want to play you can! 

I for one, can not believe that another month has gone by, but also that the month in question is OCTOBER!  Oh and if you are familiar with NORAD tracks Santa...that is 60 days away.  Yes...60.  Two months people.  But I am not blogging about that event.  I am blogging about ten things that made this CA Girl smile in October!

1.  A birthday party for a special boy
2.  Another birthday party for another special boy!
3   Finding Costumes for all three kids for under $35!
4.  Even finding one for me for under $10!
5.  Looking for work does not make me smile...but nearly fitting into a size 12 does!!
6.   Seeing and hearing Ryan start to read.  
7.   Kristin for working so hard
8.  Emily for making marked improvements
9.  Rain...yeah I really like it.  It feels like winter.  I want to snuggle under a big blanket with a book and some hot chocolate!
10.  Making 100 followers!  Now that made me smile ear to ear!

I love doing this each month as it makes me realize all the good I got going on.  What are you smiling about?

I didn't use to feel that way about rain but after living in sunny dry places for many years I totally feel the same.

What are you being for Halloween?

What great things to smile about, and rain is one of my best friends, and I am so close to a 12. So very close. Wow, you had an amazing month. Awesome.

It can't really be just two months off. That's scary!

I felt good seeing the whole Halloween costume come together and that my daughter twirls constantly when dressed like a princess.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
