Since some of yall listen to country music, I thought I'd post this here. I graduated from Hobbs High with this guy. We hung out with the same people. He almost married my friend Aimee. Very strange.

I have 5 papers due this week and I'm not even close to being done. We have no food. None. And it's raining so I don't want to go to the grocery store. Maybe the rain will keep the tricker treaters away. Have I mentioned that I *HATE* halloween? I'm sure I probably did last year...and the year before....yep, still hate it. It's evil and there is nothing cute about it. My friend Sheri told me I was a halloween scrooge. I thanked her. The whole point is this: John 3:11 "do not imitate what is evil." That's what halloween is all about...
Happy Halloween?

Ha ha, this is funny and I couldn't resist. I've been busy. I really like my job. I'm going to Andrews tomorrow. How weird is that? I used to say "I'm going home this weekend." Everyone knew I was going to Hobbs. Now I just say "I'm going to my parents house." Anyway, here is a funny. I'm back to packing.
A Love Story
I SHALL SEEK AND FIND YOU...
I SHALL TAKE YOU TO BED AND HAVE MY WAY WITH YOU...(mmm)
I WILL MAKE YOU ACHE, SHAKE AND SWEAT UNTIL YOU MOAN AND GROAN...(mmmmm)

I WILL EXHAUST YOU TO THE POINT THAT YOU WILL BE RELIEVED WHEN I'M FINISHED
WITH YOU...
AND YOU WILL BE WEAK FOR DAYS.

THE FLU

I LOVED this Friday Night Lights movie. And I don't even care about football. AND! I would have even liked it if it hadn't been about somewhere close to my home. Anyway, like I have any doubt that yall wouldn't...but go see it.
BTW, I also love Misti.

FahrenHYPE 9/11
Thought that was cool. Glad there is something to balance the insanity put fourth by Michael Moore. He's almost worthless. And the only reason I say ALMOST is because I *heard* that he is working on a documentary to expose the health care industry for what it is (cares more about $$ than lives/people) and in that, I'm hoping that he will address the prejudice and lack of care for fat people. But of course, that is just assuming that because he's fat he gets "it" so considering how ignorant he is, I don't have high hopes. Anyway. Go. Watch. Learn.

Our 2 year anniversary was yesterday. I worked most of the day. But we did go to Logans for lunch and then last night when I finally got home from work at 8 pm we went bowling and to dinner. In that order. We were worried the bowling ally would close early so we did that first. We bowled 3 games. I had not bowled since before I had fake fingernails. That was 1995. But I bowled better than I ever have before. I only had 2 frames that I didn't hit anything and those were 2 of the last 3....my hand (and everything else!) was tired. My high score was a 99. My all-time previous high score was 70 something. Also, all of the people there were college-aged to early 30's AND everyone I saw had teeth! It was weird, I figured on a Tuesday night it would be all old people. We had fun. Vic bowled 160 one game and I was very impressed. He used to bowl on a league a very long time ago, but don't tell him I told yall. It was also super cheap...$1 for each pair of shoes and $3.25 for our 3 games. Ohhh, and it was electronic & kept score for us. At Bowl-o-Rama in Hobbs you get paper and a church pew pencil to keep score. Very cool.
Two years ago today, however, we all (yall *know* who you are!!) had to drag our still semi-ly drunk selves out of bed to fly home from Vegas. I feel much better today than I did 10/6/02.

NPR : Connie Rice: Top 10 Secrets They Don't Want You to Know About the Debates
Thought this was interesting. I had always wondered why it wasn't like a real debate, you know, like the ones in high school!
It has rained and rained and rained. It's not raining right now, but it is supposed to for like the next 4 days or something.
This morning I was watching the local news and getting ready for work. I wasn't really paying attention until I heard them say the address (actually just the exact block #) of a house fire in Dallas. It was Jamey's block. I freaked out, but had missed a lot of it. I called her on my way to work and it was the house across the street from her. I was relieved. We figured it was caused by lightening. Thanks Lightening for not striking Jamey, Scarlet, & Rhett's house.

You can go to the The George W. Bush Online Store to get your very own W'04 oval bumper sticker. I have a sign in my front yard too. But I was told at the Corinth Republican headquarters that I needed to bring it in at night because they are hot items and are usually stolen. Instead I just sit outside with my shotgun at night. But that's my right here in TX. ;)
Jared and Hog moved here, actually Ft. Worth, this weekend. Toby has been there for about a year, but they all moved into a house on Friday. I stayed over there until 5 am. We played Dominos and Uno and laughed and laughed and laughed. I am so so so very happy they are here. Toby went to bed early (about 1:30 am) but he had made a crockpot full of pinto beans earlier in the night. I thought that was funny. First of all, he owns a crockpot. Something I did not have until I got one as a wedding gift. And secondly he thought "I know we've only lived here 24 hours; but I think I will make a large pot of beans." But me and the other two found them about 2 or 3 am and they were good and ready. So we ate beans and played ONE hand of Uno from until after 4 am. Very random night, but nice to have my boys back around. Landon will be here at the end of October for about a month. I can't wait.

BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | 'Tell on bullies' - grieving parents
This is one of the saddest things I've seen in some time. It made me wonder how I was so lucky to escape the "bullies" and not be tormented because I was fat. But I did. There are very very few mean situations that happened as a result of my being fat. Actually, I know 4 different times. And only one really bothered me and that was because it came from a friend, one of my best friends at the time....(LaShawn, in case anyone is curious). But I mouthed off back to her about how freaking hairy she was and she shut up. But anyway, it breaks my heart that these two fat chicks thought suicide was the way out. I hope Rebecca can move forward and start to LIVE life as a fat chick and find peace in her own skin.

I finally got a "W" sticker. But I don't think I want to put it on the new car, Satty. Working back at a super liberal non-prof, I really don't want to debate my political views with my co-workers while on hold with CPS. I just hate that the lefters really believe that republicans don't support social services. Besides, I don't want to put it on now only to have to take it off in 30 some-odd days when the election is over. I want to keep it. SO I think I might put it on the file cabinet in our office (just w/ a magnet) so I can see it everyday and smile.
Speaking of cars, we traded the Avalanche yesterday. GM was having a 3 day mega sale on their left over 04's. We got a new GMC Sierra...it is a light silver color, which I think that pic is...but ours is a sportside (which I call a stepside). Other than that, it looks just like the pic...it's got leather, 4 wheel drive, the works. So you may be wondering what crack pipe we have been smoking to need another new vehicle in less than two weeks. It was one that made us realize that we could lower our monthly payment over $100 just on the truck alone. I know that we only had 3 (of 5) years to pay on the Avalanche and now we have 5 more years to pay....but it feels better knowing that the extra cash each month can go to something else that is gaining interest. And the way I feel about it is that there are very few people that don't have a car payment....so we are pretty much always going to be paying on something. Not to mention that we can always pay extra and get it paid off earlier.
Our 2 year anniversary is on Tuesday. I am taking Vic to get a pedicure, but he doesn't know it yet. I'm getting one too of course. He's never had one, but I think it's just because he's not bold enough to walk in and say "make my feet pretty." SO I'm going to do it for him and sit next to him while he gets it done. If nothing else, he will be so darn happy that I got one he won't know what to do. I'm a good inch taller because I think my whole heel is just a callus. Yes, I'm a beast...but that's what happens to me by the end of every summer. Anyway, don't think we will do much else because my Mom will be here...so we may wait until she leaves to even do that because our other plan was to go to Southlake and eat at a Japanese Steakhouse that we've heard is good.
