I just realized what time it was...

I got on to add more info to my tax forms on H&R Block and... Sarah just got on Facebook and Josh put up pictures and Suehyla tagged me in a meme and Tati hadn't heard I was engaged and Krystal told me about her hideous china and Brian's computer spazzed... it was more than I expected. So, after all that, and eating my mac and cheese leftovers (which were supposed to be lunch tomorrow), I realized that not only had I NOT put in my tax info, BUT it was also almost 230 in the morning... wow.

The weekend was good-- I bought my dress (for $100!) and since it fits perfectly, I won't have to even have it altered! The "spa day" ended up being the afternoon from hell and we were preached at that Mary Kay allowed them to not be working mothers who left their children in (god forbid!) daycare of all the evil places. I thought my mother was going to jump across the table and throttle the over-made little twit and her "top-of-the-line" minivan. Oh, well, it was amusing and kind of fun to be there with Em, Laura, and mom, AND if I hadn't decided to go, then I wouldn't have gotten my last one in the store dress! I'm really REALLY excited about the dress-- it's pretty and it looks fantastic on!

I should probably go to bed now, but I thought I'd drop a note here right quick and check Val's blog, for which I was rewarded-- Analia is just so frickin' cute I can't get over it! I'm hoping that by Valentine's Day (which is Valerie's birthday, too!) Jeremy and I will both have webcams and be set up on Skype. That's my present to him, and then I'll get one for myself as well.

Ah, well, off to rest up for the big move! I'm so excited I get my own space now!

Valerie's been getting these cute little blog backgrounds, so I decided it was time for a change and set myself up with one! I kinda like this one since it's all snowy, but may change it.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween!

It's my favorite holiday (next to New Years) today! It's also my little brother's birthday... it's scary, I remember going to the hospital hours after he was born and holding him and now he's 18! Yikes!

My family has always been in to Halloween; when my parents lived at the Highland Bakeries, they used to have huge costume parties that people got completely decked out for. My mom would stand at the door with baby Meg and greet people, and I would ask them to show me their belly button (as I had apparently just discovered mine). I'm fairly certain I was some form of kitty for the first few years of my life, then I was a witch, a gogo dancer, a 50's prom queen, a 20's lady (not a flapper), and various other things. Thankfully it seems as though I've grown out of my laryngitis on Halloween habit, that was rough to go trick-or-treating with. Who doesn't love a spooky holiday where you get to be so creative!

I've been really bored lately, but with only a few books to read it hasn't gotten better. I watch new shows on Netflix, and keep up with Valerie's blog (still want to steal Ana to come play with me!), but I'd really like to do some more scrapbooking. Sad thing is, it's all in Memphis! I'm hoping I caught Jeremy in time before he left and he can bring my drawers with him, because there's so much stuff in my scrapbooking bin that I need to get started and do maybe a page a day or something. I also need to get more card stock, just plain white, so that I can work on my AOII pledge scrapbook in what used to be my pledge binder.

Anyway, that's about all that's going on here, nothing entirely interesting. Jeremy's on his way down for the night, then we're off to Daytona Beach in the morning to get him moved in and clear out a space for the bike when Marc and Jan get there tomorrow afternoon. It's really exciting, but nerve wracking, too!

Off to Norcross (where the rich people still have money) to apply for jobs! Oh, and hopefully to vote!

Oh, and in the spirit of Halloween, I leave you Gwennie (Krystal's daughter) the Bumblebee!
All the way from Hiroshima, Japan!
