We carved pumpkins!!! Yay for mess!! The pictures are on myspace of course.
As for the dyslexia, while cleaning up all the pumpkin stuff, Collin and I were in the kitchen and I was going to tear a paper towel off the roll and it didn't tear like it should have and ended up pulling more off the roll than I wanted. I commented to Collin that this particular roll seemed to have more issues than the others we had used (like they weren't perforated properly).
Then he responded, "They aren't tearing right, correctly?"
I am sure you see the problem with that statement, what he meant to say was, "They aren't tearing correctly, right?"
The best part (yet another sign we are so freakishly meant for each other) is that I completely and totally understood him, and if he hadn't pointed out his mistake, I more than likely would have never noticed.
As I type this I realize that Thanksgiving is like four weeks away, and then before I effing know it it will be Christmas. What does this all mean? Other than the obviousness that time marches on with or without me... It means I need to start thinking about what I am gonna do for my Christmas cards this year! (I need certain people's addresses.... *nudge nudge K*)
I am now going to take an awesomely healthy dose of Nyquil, and prolly go to bed... I hope I sleep better tonight and not cough so much.... I did fine last night until about 2:30ish when I just couldn't stop coughing, so Collin went and spent the rest of the night on the couch.... SO yeah, I am off.... DRUG TIME!!!

I Am Not Laughing At You, I Am Having A Seizure Of The Face.
You know, I really truly meant to be on here sooner than this, but oh well. That just means this will be an exceptionally long and hilarious blog. Loads to share. Okay, I am going to pick up where I left off in the last little blurb I posted....
As I mentioned, the weekend before this last one, we went to Minto Brown Park and I almost died. What happened was while we were walking around, I stopped to take a close up picture of some really red leaves (I love the colorful foliage this time of year... see the pictures on myspace), and this "drunken" wasp came flying out of the brambles right at me. I say drunken because it was really cold, and bees, wasps, etc. tend to sssssllllloooooooooowwww down in colder weather as they prepare to hibernate for the winter. The effer landed right on my freaking arm! Thank god I had a thicker shirt on, cause it wouldn't get off my sleeve and it was doing the humpy motion with its but like it was trying to sting. (For those of you unaware and slightly confused as to how in god's green earth this could kill me, I am allergic to bee, wasp etc. stings.) So I am freaking out, Collin's freaking out, and I am sure inside its little head the wasp was freaking out too. Collin FINALLY managed to get it off my sleeve, at which point it tried landing on him. Once we were finally sure the wasp was on neither of us, we rapidly left the area, praying to god no one heard us screaming like little girls...
The day before that particular adventure we went to Collin's final follow-up appointment for the accident. While we were sitting there waiting, one thing led to another and somehow I was physically threatening him in the scariest possible way, I believe he was biting his nails and for some reason it really sets me off. I said to him, in the quietly psychotic voice all women possess, "If you keep biting your nails I will cockpunch you so hard your testicles will come out you nose and your weiner will come out of your mouth!"
Can you imagine his response to that? I know it shocked me. His biggest question, after I threatened to mutilate his junk, was, "Will they be inside out?"
That is my husband... He is awesome.
A big part of the reason I haven't been on to post is that I got this stupid cold and have been sick since Thursday-ish. I hate being sick! But then again who likes it? Except for maybe hypochondriacs... For the past two nights I have found comfort in healthy doses of Nyquil. I love the stuff since it knocks me out and I can sleep, I think it's the only reason I am feeling better so quickly. That and the extra vitamin C, the high amounts of water, loads of green tea and honey, and I have not smoked since Friday, except for one cigarette. (Not that it matters, I really only smoke at work and at family functions, and if I go to a bar)
Oh, and the kicker of it is, I get sick the day after I set up plans to go pick my mom up to spend the afternoon with her. And since she's been dying to see my place and blah blah blah, it's not like I could cancel on her, she already thinks I don't like being around her. Of course, when I pick her up and she notices I am sick, she's like, "If you're sick we could have done this another time I would have understood." And the little voice in my head is screaming in response, "Yea, I could have, but you'd think I was lying about it!!!!!" Yea, Saturday having my mom over for the afternoon was a freaking blast!!!(if you can't tell that statement is drenched in sarcasm) After we got to my house she didn't even allow me the opportunity to show her around, she just started snooping. Then I am making lunch for us (my mom, Collin, and me) and I asked her if she wanted her grilled cheese cut (as I take the first completed sandwich out of the pan), and she's like, "Yea, but that's not for me is it? It's for HIM right?" Shocked and appalled I look at her and tell her no, this is hers. She then says, "No, no feed him first." Still dazed by her actions, I bluntly told her, "Umm, no. We don't play that game in this house, I will make his when I am ready to, and he knows that." I just couldn't believe that she thought we were like that... And to make matters worse, from the moment I picked her up to the moment I dropped her off she was telling me about how horrible her mom (my grandma) is to her, and how her mom hates her... I just wanted to grab her and shake her (and maybe smack her a bit) and scream at her that if grandma hated her she wouldn't be letting her live there. Sheesh....
So after that debaucle of a Saturday, I am pleased to say that Sunday was fairly awesome. Thankfully it was warm when we went to the pumpkin patch or with my luck I would have gotten worse than I was. It was about 73 degrees on Sunday when we were out and about, it was cah-razy. I am fairly certain it was the last of our warm weather for the year though. At the pumpkin patch we got two huge pumpkins, they are going to be carved tomorrow I believe. There are pictures of the pre-carving on myspace. They were six bucks each, which I think is a good deal considering the hugeness of them. I can't believe Halloween is Friday... Collin will be twenty six.
Wow, this post has almost turned into a novella... I think I might go see if Collin wants to start on the pumpkins tonight after I post all the awesome new pictures from the last two weeks. It's only 7:40 after all.... If I can tear him away from COD4 with his friend.... Peace out!
It is almost a sure thing I will post tomorrow night if we get the pumkins carved.

Nooner
Work is good, Collin is good, I am good, life is all around good. Collin got almost two and a half hours of overtime last night (yay for his next paycheck, boo he didn't get home until almost 7pm). This weekend was fun. We went and saw his grandma on Saturday and took her some pictures. On Sunday we went to Minto Brown and had a fairly nice walk until I almost died. Took some awesome pictures of the trees. It was really cold that morning and foggy. I will go into more detail later about the death thing... I am exaggerating on the almost dying, but there was a scary moment towards the end of our walk. I am going to go eat my lunch and see whats on Maury. I think I am gonna post pictures on Myspace tonight... Peace.

Well, Before The Bed Catches On Fire I Should Check On It
Apparently there is a scheduled outage at 8pm tonight on blogger so I will have to keep this fairly brief.
One. I got pics of the Halloween decorations up on Myspace (well actually I will be doing that after I post this but since there is a "scheduled outage" I am posting first then going to mess around on Myspace). The bloody hand prints look freakin' awesome. And I am thinking I am going to make up a little story about Edgar on here tomorrow... Edgar (by the way, in case you see this before the pictures) is our skeleton. He is awesome.
Two. We watched some movies this weekend. You Don't Mess With The Zohan was cute, and definitely funny in some spots. The Happening was typical M Night Shyamalan, in that it was slightly creepish and it makes you think.... Unless you don't have a brain then you probably won't really get the point of the movie.... We also watched Baby Mama which was funny (I love Tina Fey).
Three. I really don't have a third point to make but leaving off at two makes it seem kind of light, or empty, or something.... But I did just think of another point, oh.... no... It's gone too...
Four. How do you respond to a Myspace message from someone who's drunk, who brings up the fact you had a crush on them in high school and they still have the note(s) you wrote them? It's probably something I will tackle when I am on there later...
Well it's ten minutes until this "outage" so I am gonna lead by example and head out.... Well, not really. I mean I will still be here.... Just not on HERE. Yeah, okay.... Peace Out!

No, I'm Good, I Think I Just Inhaled Someone's Skin
**Exasperated sigh**
Work is going good. This month has already been way way better than last month.
This weekend we put up Halloween decorations!! Sooooo much fun! Tomorrow night there will be pictures up on my Myspace of all the awesomeness. And I can never say this enough, I have the best husband EVER. He (obviously) loves Halloween just as much as me, after all it is his birthday.
I am trying to have a get together with a couple of his really good friends and their wives, but I doubt it will happen. Dan & T will prolly be taking the boys trick or treating, and then won't have anyone to sit for them. There is still hope that Doobers & S will come over if Doobers will ever answer my text back. I will probably have to resort to emailing him.
I hope we get lots of trick or treaters.... I really would like to get rid of some of the five pounds of candy we have sitting here that we bought at Costco... Like two months ago...
Oh! We got the best fleece sheets this weekend. A million times better than flannel. Nice and toasty.... SoOoOoO awesome.
Collin's job is going great. For his birthday (way early, I know) his parents gave him a $25 gift card to The Ram which I have heard has good food, so it will be nice to go out for a change.
I think it's time to head to bed now. After a little bit of news and a quick email check. Peace out!

That Was More Like Fifty Five Miles Per Hour On A Curvy Road
So, I think things are finally going to settle back down. Doobers' wedding has come and gone. It was very traditional. There will be pics on Myspace. Sadly, (and I am really sorry K) I do not have any pictures of me dressed up. I did get you a pic of the dress, but I didn't end up wearing the dress. I found out Teresa (the best man's wife) was going to be wearing dress pants and a nice top, so I took the dress back and bought a new pair of black dress slacks and a nice black and grey lacey top (I can wear both to work).
Next time I wear the outfit I will take a picture.
How do you feel about miniature schnauzers?
So much has been going on lately, I really don't know where to start. Work truly is getting better... Just need to push all the way out of this slump and I will be good. Umm, what else.... I am making plans to invite Collin's best friends and their wives over for his birthday (Halloween!!) I am thinking we will watch scary movies or something... This weekend we are doing Halloween decorations, and I swear there will be pictures. I have AWESOME plans for our Halloween decorations. I LOVE Halloween, I was one of those kids who always wanted to decorate for the holiday, but we couldn't afford to do so. I would then take white sheets out of the linen closet and put ghost faces on them with markers (washable) and hang them in the trees. I always got in trouble.
My boss, Stan, introduced me to this song by this jazz group he heard at a jazz festival. I swear it is the best song ever. It's called "I Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones". Seriously, great song.
Would you get my phone out of your mouth!?
I went to WalMart with Renee, Drea, and Mia last Friday, and oh my god, Mia is such a doll. She has finally started to say my name (well her grammy's nickname for me, LiLi). When we were on our way to the store Renee and Drea were talking and I heard Mia sitting behind me saying, "LiLi..... LiLi..... LiLi...." Just really quietly like under her breath. Then they stopped talking and she kept saying it, so I was like, "What Mia?" And typical little kid, just would mumble in response. She thought this was a great game, so she continued to do this all through the store and while we waited in line at the checkout... It was adorable.
I am getting tired so I am going to go upload photos on Myspace and then go read or something... I was watching the debate for the most part... All I have to say is I am happy with my choice for the next POTUS, and do not care for the other candidate. You'll know if my man wins or not come Election Day, or the day after.
"So, it looked like Spiderman drilling Santa in the ass!"
Next time I wear the outfit I will take a picture.

If We Were Going Ninety Miles Per Hour We'd Be Naked
This is just a quick one to let the world know I am alive... The last month has been a bitch and I am glad it is finally over, and hopefully the world will become a little more sane.... I hope everyone is taking their meds. Tonight is the wedding rehearsal for Doobers' wedding, hopefully all goes well. I have loads of fun tidbits to share with everyone, just not the time to do it right now (I am at the office), but hopefully I will have the time tomorrow night. Peace out homies!
I thought about calling in today, I had the perfect excuse: "I can't come to work today, I just found out one of my testicles didn't drop." And Collin was gonna call in to his work and say, "I can't come in today, I just got my first period." It would have been awesome.
