Cris is coming to town

Well it's Thanksgiving time and Cris (Kim's sister) is coming to town. For her birthday, we split the cost of flying her out here for the week. I'm looking forward to some laughs and some time off too. I'll be preparing the bird and all the fixin's for Gobble Gobble Day. Looking forward to it. I wish everyone a great Thanksgiving holiday. I am thankful that I have all of you in my life. I'm so much better for it.

Happy Halloween to one and all. Let's take this moment to put aside the ugliness the election has provided and enjoy this holiday, however you see fit. I just finished carving my pumpkin...what do ya think?

My final days of summer

This is the final weekend before I go back to teaching and interpreting full time. Part of me is looking forward to getting back to a schedule, somewhat, and part of me is dreading having to be somewhere on an ongoing basis. I could get used to working a little here and little there and having all sorts of time to myself, but my pocketbook won't allow it...darn it! I have been enjoying nesting with my honey and making the house our home.

I'll have lots more to blog about in the coming months with elections approaching. This election, more so than in the past, is making me nervous. I can't handle another 8 years with a Republican in office. It's time for change...that sounds so cliché, but I don't like where this country is headed if we don't.
