haven't seen his van there in days. curiousity tells me to drive past senior housing to see if he moved down there, but I guess I'm just not that curious?
there are several nicely decorated Halloween yards in Mercer this year. Cheryl's porch is too too cute. my favorite is the giant inflatable alien holding the cow...I wish I had one. I also love the inflatable monster....
and this years Christmas pins for the grands. I always give them a notebook and a book or 2, as well. need to get to work on finding those. still looking for 7 somewhat matching Christmas ornaments to use as gift bag name tags for kids....DG seems to receive everything in lots of 6... then on to lumberyard, where I bought paint and more rollers to paint bottom of front of house. not today....but soon. soon.
mmmmkay. sure our guys can figure it out. they are clever ones. got the green paint for my Zak Bagans Pumpkin and completed said pumpkin. hard at work on The Light Bulb Spider and Baby Freddy Kruger. the Hardees sign announced that CINNAMON RAISIN BISCUITS ARE BACK! so will definitely be checking THAT out in the extremely near future.
joined The Salem Witch Trials Virtual Challenge. 30 miles.
went to Jazmine's wedding. got to talk to Tracy & Chris a bit. the bride and groom cried during their vows. and the maid of honor cried during her speech. very emotional wedding. very close family. very delicious snickerdoodle cookies.
optimisticly started The Zak Bagans Pumpkin, and did more painting on The Freddy Kruger Doll. will need to buy more paint colors. I saw a FB post wanting Big Girls, 220 lbs. and over, to start their exercise program. so, I weigh ever so slightly under 220, depending on the day. I laughed merrily. ordered Tracy's voodoo doll.
I didn't realize they were 78 cents. each. I remember putting a dime in the mailbox for a stamp when I was a kid sending penpal letters....of course, that was a day or 2 ago...back then I wrote letters to my Grandma Pauline...an elementary school penpal in Pennsylvania...my friend Lisa...my cousin Robin...a guy friend of hers...
I was supposed to pick up Z at school and take her to her mom, but plans changed and mommy picked her up at school. which I am sure made Z very happy. So, I stayed home. Kevin came home and made supper. which makes me look kinda bad, I realize. I never know what I want to make or what I want to eat and I'm not the biggest fan of cooking, anyway....did put a roast in crock pot for tomorrow.
we made homemade pizza for supper. then had hot cocoa with marshmallows and Little Debbie's for dessert. then she had a nice long soak in the tub, went through Aunt Katie's old clothes to find jammies, and took her home and tucked her in, then I hung out till her daddy got home from the JHBB game concessions. putting a baby to bed brings back a lot of memories. (insert heart emoji here.)
groceries. dog food. fence building. landlord duties.
the guy showed up to do roof thing while we were gone. sent Kevin an invoice on his phone. he figured out how to send it to me so I could print it off (and find address to send payment to.) I miss the old days of a bill tucked into the front door. so much easier. and Kevin found some small time drama on Facebook, which I corroroborated through today's Princeton Post Telegraph. I was SO excited to share this with the girls, cause they love them some small town drama, too....when I finally checked Snapchat hours later....Katie had sent it to me first. and she lives 4 hours away. (insert eye roll emoji here.) always a day late and a dollar short, why would I change now???? (laughing hysterically emoji.)
