It's a Beautiful Day!

I got tickets to U2!!! I feel like a little kid, I am that excited!

Bono, I will see you June 27th!

Eli's Monster Mash/Halloween 2009

The Zookeeper and the Monkey are ready for some fun!

I seriously tried to find a Banana suit... Nick doesn't believe me...

Eli invited his neighborhood friends over for a Monster Mash!

I am pretty sure it was more entertaining for the adults than the little ones....

Trying to get a group shot!

Gabe, the Little Lion!

Hava as Dorothy

Lyla as Ariel

Eli, the Silly Monkey!

Alec, the adorable sheep!

Farmer Rachelle and the lil' Cow, Jack!

Heidi with Dorothy and the Lion.

The Munson Family

Hava and Gabers!

My lil' Monkey!

Kathy and her Sheep!

Lyla and Cali.

Silly girl!

Lyla is so stinkin' adorable! When we met her when we first moved in she was a lil' baldy... now she has beautiful hair just like her big sis, Cali!

Mr. Jack & lil Satya (The Turtle) playing!

Eli playin' with his bud, Jack!

Time for pin the tail on the kitty!

Even Eli's Grammy's were there!!!

Eli loved handing out candy to all the big kids!

Book Club Tuesday - Barrel Fever & Holidays on Ice

Not my favorite of Mr. Sedaris, but mildly entertaining.... which I needed this last week.

Yet, another by David Sedaris... so entertaining! Mr. Sedaris worked as an Elf for Macy's back in the day, it talks about his experiences working as Santa's Elf and all the very interesting people that came along with that... so good! This guy kills me!

Happy Fall!

Unemployed...

...Well, as of November 30th. Yep, I lost my job today. Surprised you ask? Nope... I had a feeling. But, still it was very difficult to hear. That being said, I am fine... "They" were very generous and gave me until the end of November as I have several projects that are coming to fruition at that time. I also will receive a severance package that will help us... for like a minute (ouch, that sounds like anger). I was thinking a year's pay would have been nice. Anyway, several friends have said to me today, "When one door closes another door opens." I agree.

Glasses Donation

I got a new pair of glasses and needed to find a home for my old pair.... Anyway, thought I would pass this along.
