Time flies!!!

I can't believe it's almost the end of October and the year is almost over. Soon we will be busy with the holidays with Turkey day and Christmas. But first, we have to find pumpkins which aren't 8 bucks!!!! I can't believe how high the prices are for those little boogers!!!! We need to find some since we HAVE to carve them and roast pumpkin seeds, right!!!

It has been a busy week to say the least. School, work, kids, etc, etc. I love life. It's good cause it keeps me sane. I fully processed into work and settled so that's good. Collected and spent my very first paycheck at said new job. Our goal is to pay off some small debt while we are here which won't take very long at this pace. You know; little student loans, furniture, Bran's truck, a bit of a credit card bill and then straight into building the savings account back up and save for vacation.

We are planning a 7 night trip to...you know Walt Disney World in June 2011 and a cruise on the new Disney Cruise ship in 2012 for 7 nights. I love vacation and live by it almost everyday. I keep an island pic with blue Caribbean pic on my desktop at work, drag around my many Disney bags, drink from my Castaway Cay coffee mug, wear my Disney Cruise line lanyard with my work ID and have Disney characters on my Crocs. Yes, you can say I'm addicted.

My kitchen is slowly transforming into a black and red Mickey themed kitchen. I have all black kitchen utensils, just bought some much needed red pots and pans, have red and black rugs and hand cloths and just need to put some Disney paraphernalia on the tops of the Cupboards. It will looks nice especially since housing decided to outfit the kitchen with black appliances!!! Perfect fit!! Went from rooster to Mickey in a flash!!!! I have had roosters in my kitchen for the past 9 years and it's time for a change. Just after I bought my first rooster items, my nephew was flogged by a rooster and he lost on of his baby front teeth. Did I ever get hell from the kids for that because I decided to keep with the rooster theme since I had already invested money in it!!!

I love Disney because it takes all the guess work out of vacationing. As a mother, I don't worry about meals, laundry, entertainment and so on. The beds are always made, the bathrooms cleaned, the meals are the best and too bad it's only for a week every year. UGH. I want Disney 24/7, but that's hard to keep up with on my own!!!

Cruising is the ultimate since I don't have to do anything but show up and have a good time. 'Oh, you are hungry?' go hit the buffet or get pizza/hot dogs/hamburgers/salads...etc. 'Oh, you are bored??' go see a movie/catch a character/hit the pool/go to the game room/sit on the veranda/ etc, etc. 'Oh, you are tired??' take a nap in the room/nap on the lounge chairs on the top deck/ nap in a lounge chair next to pool and listen to live island music!!!! It's nice.

Glad I work my fanny off all year for that little piece of luxury!!! We deserve it!!

So, now that I off subject...I don't know whether to send out Christmas cards or not. Every year I send out about 60 but only receive 20 from the SAME people!!! What's up with that anyway!!??? Oh well. At least they know I think of them and read our little 'sum it up in a year' letter and a pic of us!!

Til next time....weez
