aalksjidelkdh...update.

Hello. I am trying to blog, but honestly the Mitchmister and myself haven't done anything interesting. All we do is go to work, school, and hang out with Mufasa. We are just trying to get through these last days of school until Thanksgiving break. We both need it--desperately. I can't wait to see everyone, especially Joshua. AND EAT! Yay. This will be Mitch and I's first holiday debut as a married couple. haha. It's going to be great. But yeah, I've just been reading a lot lately. I've decided to go back and actually read all the books I "sparksnoted" through school. I'm halfway through Wuthering Heights, which I'm thoroughly enjoying..But I haven't decided what to read after that. There is a pretty long list of literature that I just skimmed through. Hey Mom, maybe I'll read Tale of Two Cities and learn all about the Jaques! :D Anyway--I have to go write a paper for my next class, so I'll blog as soon as I we doing something interesting.

Old post. I accidentally reposted. :/

Here, here. Now everyone can relax. There are the pumpkins from the competition.

First-Paige's dramatic Halloween collage.

Second-My last minute moon, stars, and cloud ensemble.

Third-Mom's BOO accompanied by friendly ghosts and bats.

Fourth-Mitch's preview of the true artist within. The stars are clearly a warning to look out next year.

So you can decided for yourself--did Mom get robbed? Or did I?

Any adjustments for next year? Time limit, new judges, stencils or not, how halloween should they be, and can you tell what it is from a distance? These are things to think about. This is obviously a serious matter. Also all those who are interested in participating in the gingerbread house contest--start thinking about it. Mitch and I will definitely be there to defend our title. Let's try for no Merry HOHO's this year. BYOC.

Ice Hockey.

So if Mitch and I had to get rid of cable, we are positive we wouldn't die of boredom. Mufasa goes absolutely bonkers for ice. It's the funniest thing ever. He'll fling it around across the linoleum until it melts or gets stuck under one of the appliances. In most cases, he gets the ice wedged under the fridge or stove, so I came up with a solution. I made bumpers! We never actually read our Sunday paper so I figured they should get some use. I was so proud of my brilliant idea--until the second I threw down the ice Mufasa looked at it and walked off. He wanted no part of it with the bumpers there. Apparently all the fun is in getting it stuck under things. He'll even pick it up and put it on the rug and fight to get it back out. Hilarious. He'll do this over and over for hours. Of course some of the ice gets lost under the stove and when I come in the next morning there is always a little puddle to step in. I'll have to video tape it and put it on here. I know you all aren't huge dog fans, but he's the only baby we'll have for awhile! So bare with us.

Odds and ends.

Yeah, yeah. I changed the background. I was being sweet to Mitch and showing some Bama pride. But it was difficult for me to see, so now I'm in the holiday spirit. I am still very excited about Halloween coming up--especially because I am going to kick butt at the pumpkin carving contest. :D Also, I'm excited about Thanksgiving and then CHRISTMAS! Yippy. I just can't wait any longer. Mitch and I bought our Christmas stuff last year for half price and we are sooo ready to whip things out.

I have also realized that I have created my own line of tupperware. The cottage cheese line. Hah. Apparently, I eat a lot of cottage cheese, but atleast it's provided a nice variety of storage containers. They are the perfect size for lunch sized leftovers. I love it. Anddd, I figured out we didn't have corn stickers after I made corn. Oh well, we're having fun with our random makeshift odds and ends. I guess we'll have all that random household stuff bought and figured out within another year or so, but for now toothpicks work just fine.

Yeah, so I guess it is a Blackberry thing! This is from Mitch's phone..this is disappointing. I don't understand why mine won't work because all the tutorials were show using iPhones. :( But who knows, maybe Mitch will become an frequent blogger.

Around the house.

Well, I went to town on organizing the other day. My class was cancelled so I went straight home and began to tear the closet apart. I cleaned for about 3 hours! I organized the entire closet, partially took the grill apart, cleaned out the coat closet, and the little "storage" space we have by our hot water heater. I am so proud of myself and everything is much easier to find. I was able to finally have my side of the closet and his side of the closet! Yay! And I sorted his side by polos, t-shirts (color coordinated), pants, athletic stuff, and dress shirts. My side is divided into the half of nicer clothes that I can't fit into, the two pairs of jeans I own, and the dozen t-shirts I always wear. I blame my mother-haha. Well, I do have my prom dress in there, a colder weather black dress, and a more summery black dress. Go me. But anyway, the only thing I didn't get organized is the desk. This is our "important pile" zone. Everyone has this area in their house--ours just isn't in an office with a door to close yet. ANDDDD..of course the grill is now in our den. Lovely.

Out of bed, out the window, down the tree, over the wall...

Definitely not getting out of bed now because Nana bought us one of those cool memory foam toppers! Mitch was ooooober excited about it. It really helps his back out. The only set back is--I can't get out of bed! haha. I'm not a morning person AT ALL. I just can't wake up. I used to never be able to go to sleep and stay asleep, but now I sleep like a rock. I don't wake up for anything. We have like 6 alarms set and I'm still always late. Now I really don't like to get out of the bed. I'm literally stuck in a comfy cloud of sleep. It's like trying to roll out of a 3 inch perfect mold of yourself. Mitch and I are seriously considering getting a Tempur-Pedic or Sleep Number bed one day when we are rich.
