Been hearing crickets?

I’m still here, just havent’ been inspired to blog lately I guess LOL

So, we’re moved and settled.  There are still a few odds and ends boxes to take care of and pictures to hang, but for the most part, this is home sweet home now.

What’s been going on…

Well, Morgan had a birthday and turned 8.  We bought her some webkinz and a new bike.  I bribed her with chocolate chip pancakes the morning of her birthday if she would get out of bed without grumping at me for two days in a row and she did it   I made her cake too, exactly as she wanted it.  She was a happy kid   She has also started going to her new GS Brownie troop meeting…not at all thrilled at the moment about it and I promised her that if she goes a few times and it still really sucks and she hates it, then she can quit.  Anyway, here she is:

Maegan and Jordan are settling well into their new school….

We went trick or treating but I did not take pics.  I sent my sister $$ for costumes and she picked some good ones.  The E kids went as a genie, a witch and a “groovy chick”.  I met up with my friend Marla and her boys and we walked around a bit as the kids went running door to door.  We didnt’ get a lot of kids at our house, but then we weren’t home till the end of the night too, so maybe that’s why.

Devin, is Devin lol  He’s brought his 2 grades back up he needed too, and has earned the priviledge to come home from school during lunch.  We live ridiculously close to the school, so why not right?  Here’s how close, this was taken from his bedroom window LOL

He and Kevin went to his sports banquet the other night and he came home with his “letter” and Cross Country pin to put on it…now we have to get him his coat to wear it on.  He’s decided not to play football next year, he loved Cross Country and has decided to stick with that instead.  He’s still in the JROTC program and doing well, he is now the rank of Cadette MSGT.  Here’s a pic of happy boy home for lunch in his uniform.  He comes home and cooks ramen noodles and chucks in a can of some sort of meat.  A real Emeril isn’t he?  LOL

We’ve decided to try to extend for another year here if we can so he can graduate from this school. We’d hate to move him into a new school for his Sr year.

Tonight, I went to Bingo at the community center with some friends.  It was Polish Pottery night, and I actually won something…yay!!  I had gone to the Vera Bradley Bingo last month and didn’t win snot, but oh well…  Here’s the pot I won.  I had joked that now we had a pot to piss in, and when I came home, he said the exact same thing.   It’s my first piece of PP believe it or not, and I really do like it.

I like my pot, it’s simple  

I got my bi-monthly hair cut…I really need to cut it sooner than that, but I’m just lazy.  I will have to find a new girl to do it because I was literally the appt my gal has for the next year.  She’s German, having her first baby and won’t be working for the next year…sniff!  I’m getting more gray and it’s pissing me off too.

I had a stye on my eye the last couple of days and thankfully, Kevin’s car was in the shop getting new brakes (and roters, whatever…) and he had my van so I didn’t have to go anywhere LOL  Everytime I looked in the mirror I heard my parents saying “you get styes in your eyes from peeing in the street”.  I’ve looked online with no luck as to the origin of that myth….I wonder where it came from?  I assure you I have not peed in the street…EVER.  LOL  At the same time, I also had a pimple on my butt.  Take that however you want, yes, I guess that was the same thing!  LOL

I had strep, along with something else that had me knocked out like a zombie for a whole day…it sucked.

Kevin babysat my friends boys tonight so she could go to bingo with me.  I know she probably thinks Kevin was just being polite, but her boys really WERE good for him, and my girls loved having them here with them.

Kevin has been Kevin, doing his thing like he always does.  He’s been up e.a.r.l.y. for the last two months studying for his next rank.  He tests in Dec.

And me, well I’m just me.  I’m home, I go to coffee, I bug my friends, I walk my kids to school, I bought a pink “Bind it All’ and I’m nearly ready to have my friends over to stamp…I’ve SO missed doing that…..  I had also started going to a thing at the Health and Wellness Center but have found that evening things just don’t work out for me….oh well.  I’m out walking again too.

Well, it’s 12:30 and I’m tired and  Yahoo just told me I got an email that says I won a million Brittish pounds.  Don’t I freaking wish!?

**Edit**  I’ve no idea why the  pics of Morgan didn’t end up big like the others and I can’t get it changed for some reason…..  Blah!
