Just Some Random Thoughts

All I can say is WOW!! You guys are amazing and so creative!! I am LOVING all the name suggestions for my hat!! It's gonna be hard to choose!!

So as I was coming home today from taking Heather to school, I realized that I needed to gas up my car. Drove by my local grocery store where I usually buy gas to check out the price. HOLY COW!!! Gas was only $1.78 a gallon!! And with my 10 cents off by using my value card I would only pay $1.68!! When was the last time gas was so cheap??? Guess I'll take all the money I'll save from my gas budget and start Christmas shopping!

And then, another thing I noticed while driving home was that a few of my neighbors have been busy painting their houses. Well, I'm all for sprucing up the neighborhood, but what were they thinking!?!?! The house across the stree is not the most awful shade of mint green I have ever seen!! It's like those little mints you get at weddings...almost neon! It's really bad. Especially with the white trim!! It's so bad I actually had to go back out and snap a picture for you!! But the pic definately doesn't do this aweful color justice!! You'd have to see it in person!!

And then another house down the street that I have been watching them paint....well first they painted the front door and garage door BLACK!! Not too bad...the house was a light, almost white color. But today when I drove by, they had painted the house a DARK, DARK grey!! HUH??? Can you say GOTH? I will admit, it is done very nicely and looks great...but personally I find the color a little creapy, LOL!!

OK, time to run. I need to go fill up my gas tank and stop by the dollar store for some envelopes. Have a great day!

OOPS!!

Sorry I forgot to post on Friday, but nothing exciting is going on....really!! I've been busy crocheting and trying to catch up on projects. Luckily my To-Do list has been getting smaller....but soon I will be adding Christmas Gifts to the list!! Oh boy!! Can you believe how fast it is coming???

Today is my little sister's birthday, so if you are reading this Linda, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you enjoy the present I sent!

The new doggie is getting along just fine in our house. He has made sleeping an artform!! But he does still manage to follow me everywhere I go! He now has a bed in our room, the living room, and the computer room! LOL!! Lucky dog! One of these days I need to figure out how to download videos from my camera! I want to tape him "helping" me make the bed each morning. It's HILARIOUS!

OK, so I guess you would like to see some type of picture with this post, huh?? Here is one from yesterday. We went up to the local ski resort and rode the lift up the mountain. They call it Color Sunday because it is the best time to see all the leaves that changed color. Unfortunately they only change to gold here in the mountains....I do miss all the other colors I got back in western PA. Oh well! Have a great day everyone!
