October 12 of 12

So, it's October 12th and time for 12 of 12! I had a lot of fun doing this last month so I figured I would do it again. Here's some background info on it -- It's the idea of Chad Darnell, and if you want to check out his 12 of 12 you can go here --> http://chaddarnell.typepad.com/runchadrun2/12_of_12/index.html. People all over the world are doing it, it's a really great idea he had. The deal is that you take 12 pictures of your day on the 12th day of the month, and then you blog it.

Here we go!!

Since the kids were out of school today for Fall Break, I decided to sleep in! It's been a few weeks since I was able to do it so I took advantage of it! That's why my day started so late! :)

11:30 am -- Time to get up and get ready for the day. Here are all the fun hair things I use for the new hair do. I am still trying to figure out what I can and can't do with the hair, but so far it's been really fun!

1:00pm -- Laundry time! Why is it that my laundry piles never seems to shrink even though I wash 5 loads at a time??? Oh well, I guess I need something to do...

2:00pm -- Off to the bank! It's pay day so that means a trip to the bank to deposit the check so that we can live for another 2 weeks! Here is the cute little tube from the drive-thru, the kids always love watching it go up into the roof! :D

2:30 pm -- Time to gas up the car! With all my traveling back and forth for school, I sure seem to buy a lot of gas for my little car. I guess it's a good thing I have a little car, especially since gas prices are so high! I think I paid about $2.59 a gallon today. Ouch!!

3:00pm -- Time to make a trip to the cemetary. Tomorrow, October 13th, would have been my Grandma's 78th birthday. I always go to visit her grave on or near her birthday, the day she died, and Mother's Day. I usually take kids with me so it's not too emotional but today I was alone and it was kinda hard. I sure do miss her! But I know she is happy where she is so I should be too. I also get to take flowers to my cousin Justus' grave. He died in 2000 and is buried next to my Grandma. It's always so peaceful at the cemetary, I really look forward to going.

Here is a picture of her --

And her with me -

3:30 pm -- Who doesn't love Happy Hour at Sonic? Half price drinks can't be beat!! I love Cherry Limeades, but lately I have gotten addicted to Cherry Vanilla Cokes. Yummy!! And add some Tater Tots and you have a lunch made for champions!!

4:00 pm -- Survey time! I was asked my our local electric company to participate in a survey about energy sources. It was easy and kinda fun and I figured since I am interested in how our power is made, I should give them my two cents. The survey was conducted in the conference room of this hotel and only lasted about 30 minutes. It was a new experience, that's for sure!

6:00 pm -- I have been searching for a new purse for months! My old one has been falling apart (as you can see) but I couldn't ever find what I wanted. I have lots of qualifications for a purse and nothing that I found would work. I finally got one a couple of weeks ago but haven't had time to switch everything over. I finally got it done today, hopefully I will be happy with the new purse!


7:30 pm -- Dinner time!! Since it's payday we usually eat out. I decided I wanted Subway for dinner. Man, I love a good sub sandwich!! I always get a BMT with no onions. It's one of my favorites!! And the guy making the subs was good sport about letting me take a picture. He seemed intrigued by the whole 12 of 12 thing. :D


7:45 pm -- And a movie!! I was SO excited when We Are Marshall came out on dvd last month, but the video store has been out of it every time I have been in there. I thought I would stop by this evening and sure enough, they had 2 copies left!! Yippee!!! I have a big crush on Matthew Fox, and Matthew McConaughey isn't bad either!! I am excited to watch it!!! And I got an action movie for Tim and the Kirsten Dunst one because I heard the architecture in it is amazing. I guess we'll see...

10:00 pm -- Well, I have a few birthday cards that need to be mailed! My sweet sister Brianna had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and I still have her card. Then my brother Blake and friend Gary have birthdays tomorrow, so their cards need to go out too. Man, I really should buy some stamps... I think the last time I bought any was last December when I mailed out Christmas cards... Well, at least they are filled out now. Maybe I'll get some stamps tomorrow.

11:00pm -- Well, the last thing I will do tonight is watch an episode or two of Roswell. I love that show so much!! I got my dvd's about 2 weeks ago and I have already watched all 3 seasons, so I'm starting over with season 1 again. It's such a great show! The only tv I want to watch is Roswell!!!

Well, hope my day wasn't too boring for you! Not much excitement around here, but that's okay. It just means I have more time to watch Roswell!!! :D
