last 3 weeks or so

I'm sure many great and wonderful things or cute, funny things that I can be witty about have happened, but right now can't think of any so this will have to do.


Angela had a performance in SLC with her orchestra and so Melanie came up from Vegas and we had a fun short visit. Oh and we watched Angela, well not really her so much since it was difficult to see her (thats what happens when you are really short) so more like listened to her. It was a good performance. I liked it and Melanie and I discussed it on the way back. I would give a link to Melanie's blog but as she posted a short video that was not for public viewing I'm not going to. (for those of you who already did, the finger licking and neighing is from when Megan and Carly were little and making a documentary of sorts while visiting grandma (and Me, and some other aunts and uncles)).

This guy kept getting in the way, Angela is right behind him.



















Poor Melanie wasn't feeling real well but I was still happy to have her here. I cleaned the bathroom and my room all up for her :) The funny thing was I got a roatisary chicken from costco and Melanie was amazed at how tasty it is. It is mighty tasty!











Speaking of other loves from costoc....



This is my new lover. Always available, always warm. There have been some funny quotes too since it came to our home, mostly along the lines of my lover not being being completely monagamous.









I am finally rescheduled for lasic. Its expensive but I think I'm ready to go ahead because I am SOOOOO tired of my glasses! I also got the bill for having that eye surgery. wow.







Basketball season has started! I love watching my friend Cathy. When they win we go out for icecream/frozen yogurt. This year I'm sitting all by myself but its ok cause I text Jamie (who listens on line when she can) when Cathy stomps her foot. this only happens when things don't go her way so don't get the wrong idea!














I grilled up the tomatillas and hot peppers from my garden, canned tomatoes, apple sauce, and tomatillos, and made a sort of hot sauce with the peppers. I didn't get many cans from all of this but I will enjoy what i've got. Now its time to start planning and dreaming for next year.


I should make another post, but because I'm lazy here are some halloween pics.




orange lights and lots of spider webs, jack-o lantern in front plus a caldren with candles and dry ice.








I forgot to take a picture of my trunk or treat. I put spider webs, glow in the dark decals (spiders and jack o lanterns) on my car, had my bubbling caldron set up and a chair for me. I also attempted to have a black light but as it was still light out for the trunk or treat that was a failure. I went as a witch and here is my costume (again forgot to take a picture). I was very eclectic.







this is all the candy we had left after trunk or treat. its a cooler completely full! No worries its almost all gone now. Aparently around here the kids just go around the cars once (maybe twice for a few kids) and then head off to other fun activities. So I had way over calculated the amount needed! I also had passed out spider rings and glow sticks which were way popular. So I'll have to play better next time...




And lastly a picture of a giant zuchini just cause. I was thinking of saving this one to get seeds off of because this plan stayed healthy while the others didn't fair so well, but it got a little frosted after this picture and disintigrated.
