Why do I always wait until the weekend to post?

No one is at work to read it...

I think it's time to wrap up the PPS2010...

Maybe on Tuesday... People should be back to work then... Right?

This year we decorated a room for the church trick or treating party.

I use the word decorated loosly. We grabbed a giant spider and a huge wad of spider webbing and spread it all over the room.

As we sat there waiting for the kids Ben decided he would wrap himself (okay maybe I helped a little)  in webbing, stick the giant spider on his neck and slump in a chair in the corner.

When the kids walked into the room ducking under webs to get to me and the candy...

Ben would quietly say "Help me... Help me..." from the corner behind them.

Most looked at him, giggled nervously and left.

Near the end, of the treating part an older boy came into the room...

Seeing and hearing Ben in the corner, He said "Now that I have my candy do I help him?"

As he reached for the spider on Ben's neck Ben lunged at him with a giant roar.

The poor kid jumped back a foot and left the room laughing and gasping all at the same time saying...

"I was only trying to help!"

I was laughing so hard there were tears in my eyes.

The moral of the story is~ Be careful when you help a wounded animal...

Or

A husband who will wrap himself in spider webbing and scare the little children for your entertainment is PRICELESS!

I hope you all had at least as much fun as we did!

                     That's funny... This is almost the same exact song Ben and I sang when we first met.

                                          We were only five... so without the screw part.

I remember the day when I enjoyed  nothing more then to read my Xanga.

 To feel connected to other people through the things they shared about their lives,  to share my life and put it all out there.

Then I got a job.

 Now I still like reading the blogs, but they  fill a different need, one that isn't quite as social.

 I just realized this when I was reading someone's blog, (someone that I like a lot and have known for a long time on Xanga) and I found myself searching for the LIKE button.

I wanted them to know I had been there and enjoyed, but I didn't want to make the effort of a comment at this time...

Maybe I'm just getting lazy.

*sigh*

It would probably  be hypocritical to ask you to comment on this blog... huh?

I'm still having fun crawling around on the ground.

I changed my schedule at work... No more 3:30 in the morning for me, now I get in at 4:30!

I know it doesn't sound like much, but that hour is pretty huge to my sleep schedule.

I can already tell it's helped.

That's the big excitement in my world...

Anything new and exciting on your end?

FAVORITE VIDEO/MUSIC

Isabelle and her friend are working on a Rube Goldberg Machine... It reminded me of this band, OKGO they always make their videos a joy. In fact one of the only bands that I would actually purchase a video of  for my iPod. (another one of my favorite things)

FAVORITE FALL THING

Milk weed

When we were young we would crush the pods and watch the milky goo ooze out.

Seeing them always makes me smile. I think of the fun we will have combing over them searching for tiny emerald and black monarch caterpillars to raise. 

In the fall I love watching the seeds being pulled from the pods, floating off into the wind.

 FAVORITE GUILTY PLEASURE

Korean dramas...

Playful Kiss

Boys Before Flowers

Why? 

I guess mostly because it's a mental vacation... I like seeing the food and the surroundings... and although I would never make it without the subtitles, I now know how to say...

Yes, No, Senior, thank you, and FIGHTING!  In korean...

FAVORITE GAME

It is so cool that the kids are old enough to play more adult games now.

We have been working on Rook... Next stop EUCHRE!

FAVORITE THINGS posts always make me feel better.

My FAVORITE part of the post...

What's one of your favorite things?

You know I love to pressure you.

Nothing to see here... move along, move along...

I have really been blowing the topic this year.

It's almost time to retire it though and I will do a better job on keeping up with links next year.

(At least that's what I have been telling myself.)

SO! Here are the links that I've missed.

If you have CLOCKS or HORIZON LINES up and I've missed them, please send me a message and I will add them to the post.

My favorite GET OUT OF BED song!

While I was looking for a video version to share... I wanted to post the scene from Singing in the Rain, but all of the embedding code has been disabled, I found Cookiezandcream's YouTube channel.

 What fun, a lot of time and effort went into these...  So THANK YOU Cookiezandcream for giving me a video I can share with my GOOD MORNING!

Spending time with my Little Sister and my Family.

Having fun.

WE went to the ZOO!

Everyone there was napping today, it must have been siesta time...

The fish weren't sleeping though...

Does anyone know, do fish sleep?
