gay high holy day

why halloween of course! Designing Women? Will & Grace? I don't remember where I first heard that line but it cracks me up and reminds me of my roommates from about a million years ago. Yes they were gay and when we lived in CT they always threw an annual halloween party that was always so much fun black lights, spider webs, dry ice, a killer grain alcohol punch-they would go all out plus I love costumes!!! I have friends that I know went to a party Saturday night but the slackers have still not posted any photos hint hint...

sandwich theory

I like sandwiches but my belief is that they always taste better when prepared by someone else, D feels similarly about salads although I think that is just his way of conning me into making him a salad but that is another story for another day. The sandwich theory has come back to haunt me as C is under the current belief that I make better peanut butter sandwiches than he can they are "creamier" when I make them.
I get a kick out of Peter Pan's labels these days
new look!
great taste!
they should add
salmonella free!

otolaryngologist update

looks like turkey puree will be on the menu for C this turkey day he will be getting his adenoids & tonsils out for thanksgiving break this year. It's a good thing he started to like ice cream!

orthodontist update

took C this morning in & out really quick almost drive by sort of visit, filling out the new patient paperwork took longer sort of visit. They want us to take him to an ENT-ear nose & throat or if you prefer an otolaryngoloist not a specialty that rolls off the tip of your tongue now does it? His bottom jaw is growing at a faster rate than his upper jaw & it maybe due to lack of oxygen-who knew? anyway the whole mouth breathing think we are always fussing at C about may be medical so I am soliciting worst parent of the year votes this week!

I wonder...

open house night at C's school last night, we went got the 50 cent tour of his classroom, saw some artwork, special projects the kids have done-usual open house type stuff. I took a look at his journal and his last entry went something like this..
I wonder what my balls do. I think they will help me make babies when I am married.
followed by a picture of C fully dressed but with prominent balls.
The journal starts out with a remembrance of the time he was really really sick(he had rotovirus) and daddy stuck a stick up my butt(it was a suppository and kept C from a stay in the hospital)
this journal is definitely a keeper can't wait to see what he writes next!
or if we will get a phone call from his teacher...

it's not right

but haven't we all thought about this once or twice?

know what today is?

transformers comes out on dvd and luckily someone wrote that in on the family calendar for me so I would be sure to know.

term paper

my term paper is due in a mere 3 weeks so I thought actually choosing a topic & getting started might be a good idea. The teacher seems really hip on the autobiographical in a psychological context paper which honestly doesn't interest me so much.
What did catch my eye was the midlife career change & it's psychological impacts which will mean my paper will have an autobiographical slant anyway. It must run in the family I was able to send out questions to 2 uncles, an aunt & my father
come to think of it I also had a grandmother & grandfather who did the midlife career change too.

how much does that cost?

D killed my crock pot this week. A few years ago when my first crock pot which had been a gift to start with died I tried the whole just replace the liner path, it did not work and after going through 4 new liners, a few hateful phone calls and at least one hateful e-mail Rival finally sent me a whole new crock pot for my troubles. So for the first time in my cooking career I had to purchase a new crock pot the first one I found cost $80 and all it did was cook didn't do the dishes, make the bed or wash clothes $80?!?
and it gets worse I just logged onto bed bath & beyond's web site there is actually a crock pot for $150 even with a 20% coupon that is ridiculous!!!

maybe the week wasn't so bad..

-well I never got real sick which was nice but the sore throat & headaches are lingering so I have diagnosed the problem as allergies-fall has traditionally been my season of misery for many years. nothing lots of sudafed can't help
-the new fridge was delivered, early in fact no waiting for hours upon hours. It is pretty shiny & new and most importantly keeps food refrigerated. we also splurged and bought a stand up freezer so a trip to our butcher in Maryville on the list for the near future.
-D's b-day cake was really good
-D finally asked what I want to do for my b-day, he has been so busy planning that I was beginning to wonder who's birthday we were going to be celebrating.
-the new dining room table has been picked up, it is still sitting in the garage but it will be put together soon, very soon unlike the patio furniture bought in may, even if this means I have to do it myself.
-D was working & C had a party to go to yesterday so I managed to have 3 hours to myself very novel. on the downside of this EVERY store I went to had xmas decorations up it's freaking october people
-as far as october/halloween I bought a pumpkin yesterday, makes me happy I love halloween. I am taking C to buy his costume this week currently he wants to be optimus prime it could change between now & purchase so stay tuned
-it is finally fall and temperatures have dropped below the 90's FINALLY! I love sweater weather
