Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It’s cold today, so we are having our first fire of the year in the fireplace. The little baby kitty has never seen a fire before, and she is loving it! The Macy’s Day Parade is blaring on the television, and the marching bands are FANTASTIC! They really take me back to high school with great memories of our marching band. The roast is in the oven, and the turkey is getting ready to join it.

I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with a lot of love and laughter, and of course good food.

Happy Halloween!

It’s that time of the year again to start thinking about what you are going to be, or your kids for that matter, for the spookiest night of the year, Halloween. It’s been quite awhile since my kids got dressed up and went out trick-or-treating, so it’s all about the adult parties, and the adult costumes in our house now. It seems like the pirate theme is finally starting to die down a bit, thank god! That was just getting a little old, even for me, a pirate lover.

I love this Corpse Bride costume, and have wanted to do that one for a long time now. I got the idea from a Playboy mansion Halloween party I saw on TV once. I could probably talk Michael into doing Edward Scissorhands with me. He’s almost got the hair for it without having to buy the wig. LOL! I just love Tim Burton, and here at HalloweenExpress.com we can get almost any Tim Burton character ever created.

Not only do they carry Tim Burton costumes, but HalloweenExpress.com has a GIGANTIC selection of Halloween costumes for kids and adults, and the prices are really reasonable also. $40.00 for an adult Halloween costume, and $30.00 bucks for a kid. You can’t beat that! The only trouble you are going to have is deciding what to buy with all the Halloween costumes they offer. I must have clicked through a hundred so far, and there are plenty more to look at!

I can’t believe it is August already. We are just two months away from Halloween, three months until it’s Thanksgiving, four months until Christmas and five months until New Years, and my birthday. Time flies when you’re having fun I guess. It is time to start thinking about gift buying though. I promised myself I wouldn’t wait until the last minute this year, and I’m going to stick to my guns. I want all my shopping done in the first two weeks of November.

Lucky for me my favorite place to start shopping online is CouponChief.com. I can always find great coupon codes to use. My first stop will be Dell to order myself a new desktop. Dick’s Sporting Goods will be a good place for presents for Michael, and Best Buy will be the best place to go for the boys. And I can’t forget my baby kitties who would love a present from PetSmart.

We had a really good time Friday night for Michael’s birthday. I didn’t get home until 7:00PM because traffic was so bad, and I had to stop at the store. When I did finally make it home, I started dinner for the boys, and sat down on the couch. I almost fell asleep, but Michael was ready to go, and excited, so I forced myself to get up and get moving again.

We went to this new sushi place down the street that he and Johnathan found a couple weeks ago. It is really nice inside, and the sushi chefs were really friendly and having a great time with the customers. I actually found something on the appetizer menu that I could eat. Bacon wrapped shrimp (cooked) and bacon wrapped asparagus. They were so yummy, that I am going to make them the next time we have a party. Little, easy to make, and so good.

Steve and Lola came by the house later and we hung out talking and had the webcam going so Michelle and Ernie could join in on the fun virtually. Their baby is still pretty little, so they don’t get out much at all. We had a good time, and I woke up Saturday morning a little unsure how I got to bed. Apparently I had curled up on the floor in the living room next to Michael, and Lola fell asleep on the couch, so the guys just sat around talking while we were passed out. Well I was passed out, Lola is pregnant, so she was just tired.

I didn’t get much done Saturday at all. I had some work stuff to do that got canceled at the last minute on Friday, so we just sat around the house watching movies and taking naps. It’s crazy to think I could party like that every night when I was younger and still be fine the next day. Not anymore. I thought I was dying yesterday, but we had fun! HA!
