Well, I got my house all cleaned up last night so, tonight I am going to sit on the couch and just rest....yeah, like that will happen!! Why is it women never seem to be able to just sit and relax? I know I should be doing that, but I know I still have a list of things that still need to be finished......

(1.) There are letters and cards to write....
(2.) I need to shave my legs.....
(3.) I need to take the trash out to the curb...
(4.) There are several phone calls to make...not too mention unanswered emails...
(5.) The bird's cage needs a good scrubbing...
(6.) I need to wash and iron.......(oh, that sounds like fun!)
(7.) I need to fix my hair color....NOW THAT IS A STORY IN ITSELF...yikes....!
(8.) I need to do my Bible Study.....
(9.) And the list goes on and on..........

Well, I do know there are a few things on my list I will do tonight, but when my favorite television show begins.....I AM THERE ON THE COUCH WITH MY GLASS OF WINE AND THE REMOTE!!

Tonight I am going to spend the evening cleaning MY house. Whenever I clean someone else's house...I always chuckle to myself..."I DON'T EVEN DO THIS TO MY OWN HOUSE!" Well, tonight my little bungalow with get cleaned. Not that it is terribly messy, but there are a few things that NEED attention. I have decided not to turn on the television.....answer phones....NOTHING that plugs in...NO DISTRACTIONS ALLOWED!! Well, the stereo will be cranked up. Nothing is better to clean house than to have the stereo turned up loud....the louder the better!!

One major job will get done tonight and three minor things....have a goal!!!!

Captain Jack Sparrow and pretty Elizabeth..........

Jeremey and Ashlynn..........

Is it over yet????

I have been trying to sit here and write something, but every time I get a half way decent thought....a little trick-or-treater comes to the door!! I give up!!!!

The kids are soooo adorable....think I give up blogging tonight and appreciate the little knocks I get at my door.

Happy Halloween everyone..............

My Halloween Story....

A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night, when behind him he hears:


BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.


BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him.

FASTER...
FASTER..
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...


He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping.


clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP...

On his heels, as the terrified man runs......Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.....Bumping and clapping toward him.

The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup! Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...


(and hopefully you are ready for this)


The coffin stops!!!!
