Today started out to be a great
one but...then it went haywire.
First I better back up and say
that the weather was not on it's
best behavior! It was overcast
and chilly all day, which made
us get moving very slowly. Ken
was the busy one-being all
organized and all. Me I just
stayed under my blanket to
keep warm.
Once we got going, our first
stop was at the bank ATM
which was closed so we had
to go to another one, then off
to get gas at QT--bad driving
by all!!!! For lunch we went
to Popeye's and had to wait
for our food for what seemed
like FOREVER and it was
COLD in the restaurant!
Our main goal for today was
to get haircuts which we did
BUT Ken had the stinky
cigarette stylist and I had the
one with a purple mohawk
PLUS I kept waiting for her
to throw-up on me---OH BOY!
Our next stop was to pick up a
gift card for Ken's brother for
his birthday--got stuck on the
highway in three lanes of backed
up traffic. Ken decided to cut over
two lanes to get on to clover-leaf
which goes around the back side
of our city. We got to the store,
asked for a gift card and proceeded
to blow up their computer system
because we chose to pay by check!
Had to leave because the sytem
would be down for awhile--Oh
brother! Went home and got ready
to go to the brother's house to
celebrate his birthday. BUT, we still
needed the gift card-so off to another
store. Almost had the same problem
from earlier but they had a back up
plan.
Off to brother's house AND he is not
home and we are on time. He pulled
in shortly thereafter. Had burned
AND uncooked pizza for dinner, a
trick my brother-in -law had :)
Needless to say I didn't have dinner
because the pizza I would have eaten
was the uncooked one but burned on
top. Good golly Miss Molly!!! Sooo
on the way home from the brother's
house we stopped to get me something
to eat--8:00 pm at night I am having
dinner. Will this night ever end???
I was so happy to be home, put on
warm comfy clothes and eat my dinner.
We also decided to turn on the furnace
so we would be warm to sleep. We have
space heaters but the house was too
chilly for them to get it really warm.
Tomorrow the sun should be out and
it should be a little warmer--hopefully
that will help! I think another problem
for us is that this was the first full day
when it was chilly all day, nothing
like beig thrown right into a weather
change! HOW WAS YOUR DAY??

In the October issue of
Midwest Living, I saw
these cool suggestions
for Fall decorating using
nuts in a shell.
Mixed Nut Wreath-
Turn a wood wreath into
a "harvest wreath" by
gluing nuts around the
edges of the frame then
hang with brown ribbon.
Walnut Photo Holder-
Drill a hole in the top of
a walnut. Pick nuts with a
flatter bottom so it will
stand up. Cut a six-inch
piece of 18-gauge wire.
Wrap one end of the wire
twice around a wide marker,
and pinch the loops together.
Insert the other end into the
nut. Slip a photo or card
between the loops.
Harvest Vases-
Fill cylinder vases with nuts
and wheat. Roll coordinating
scrapbook paper into decorative
cuffs that slip inside the vase.
As the article says "Grab a sack
at the store and go a little nuts."

Here are some fun ideas to
do with M&M's.
Mix M&M's Peanut and Carmel
Popcorn.
Mix M&M's Dark Chocolate
and Mandarin Orange Slices.
Mix Mini-Marshmallows
with M&M's Milk Chocolate.
These would be great for Fall
parties or Halloween goodie
bags!
