Monday

Typical Monday. I worked Saturday duty over the weekend and don't feel like I really got a weekend. Oh well.

Tommy went to the Texans game yesterday. From what I hear, it was a heart breaker. Glad I didn't go. What a let down to lose it at the end like that.

I've complete decorated the house for Halloween. I bought a bunch of stuff last year and have added to the collection. The soap dispenser in the bathroom glows in the dark. On Saturday when the family was over I knew Amy would be a sucker for it. Sure enough, she went into the bathroom and I heard the lights click off so she could see it glow. What she didn't know was that I hid in the guest bedroom across the hall and when she came out of the bathroom, I jumped out at her. She came about 3 feet off the ground and her hair practically stood up. I thought it was hysterical. Let the Halloween pranks begin...

Roxie got a Halloween costume. She'll be dressing up as a pumpkin. I put it on her and she goes "dog-a-tonic". She refuses to move and hits the deck like the enemy is throwing grenades. I don't think she'll be doing much door answering on Halloween since she refuses to budge an inch with her costume on. I think I've figured out the best way to keep her quite when the doorbell rings non-stop!

This Weekend

Well, we should have a fun filled weekend.

Daddy's birthday was Wednesday so we're all going out to eat tomorrow night. We're coming back over here for cake and ice cream. (Is it wrong that I can't wait for that??)

I have to work all day tomorrow, but I'll love the OT on my next paycheck! At least that's what I'll be telling myself as I get up and get dressed in the morning.

The countdown for the cruise is underway. I bought Target out of sunscreen today. Tommy keeps asking me when I'll be done buying for this trip. Silly man. I have 3 more weeks of shopping left!!

Re-building

Okay, I made some changes to the blog.

I think it looks prettier now. I'm sure the 2 people (counting me) who read it will like the changes.

Vacation

Just in case you didn't see the cruise countdown on my blog...

25 days until our next cruise. WOO HOO!

Summer is Offically over

The boat is back in the garage and summer is officially behind us. We took it out for one last weekend of fun with Amy and Matthew and some friends. We went to Lake Fayette County and had a blast. Amy made up a song about the lake and loving the big tube. I would sing it for you but can't remember the very complicated lyrics.

It was cold and overcast for part of the time there but as long as you stayed in the water you were good. On Saturday the sun came out and we played for hours.

One small problem with the boat...they always have at least one small problem...our battery is dying. We didn't know that it needed to be replaced until we got out on the lake. This lake is literally in the middle of nowhere. In the Mize system, Angela gets in the boat and Tommy backs it into the water. I get the boat off the trailer and drive it around to the pier to pick him up after he parks the truck. Our systems been working for years. Until this trip...

This trip, the boat wouldn't start either morning and Amy and I were in the boat looking pretty helpless. We had to bum a jump start on both mornings before going out. It seems fisherman have a sense of humor when two girls in a boat ask them for a "jump".

Roxie stayed with her Wistner Grandparents and had a fun filled weekend with all her cousins. Mom and Daddy very kindly agreed to take in all the dogs so we could go with Amy and Matt. It must have been exciting because Roxie slept the rest of the day after we picked her up on Sunday. I'm sure Mom and Daddy napped too after the bark parade left town!
