a few thoughts...

in honor of fall and november being next week i wanted to put this picture up... it makes me laugh. lol.

ok so this morning i was thinking that i was determined to post again before another month went by... but i could'nt really think of anything to write about... anyway i was watching the Ellen show earlier this afternoon. i love watching it.. it's hilarious and so is she. the only thing that gets me is that we have totally different political views and today she said something that got on my nerves so bad. she said something about how Palin is trying to change the constitution by saying she wants to outlaw gay marriage. ok what in the world is she talking about??? they changed the constitution when they made gay marriage legal! we have to remember that the constitution is based on the Bible! and in the Bible marriage is between a man and woman. i don't know what constitution she is reading! gosh that makes me so mad! anyway... i just had to put that out there! oh and one more thing... what is the big deal about Elisabeth wearing a McCain tshirt on the view yesterday?? if Joy or Whoopi wore an Obama shirt they would make a big deal if Elisabeth said something!

anyway... i'm kind of excited about how christmas is working out. see.. i was worried that i wouldn't be able to be off the same days mom was... i thought christmas was on the weekend for some reason. but i looked on the calander and christmas eve is wednesday and christmas is thursday! so that works out perfect! i'm really looking forward to it. i'm going to get all of my shopping done before thanksgiving to beat most of the crowds. and wait to wrap in december.. cause that's just the fun of it!

today me and mom went to olive garden for lunch and it was nice to go just the two of us you know... then we ran by old navy real quick. i wanted to see if they had the velour suits. and sure enough they did! i grabbed like 3 different sizes to try on. i had no idea what i would wear since i'm in between sizes. anyway.... i got navy blue. they had that, black and light pink. light pink wouldn't be very flattering head to toe and so i thought the blue would be good so you can wear black or brown or whatever color with it. it's kinda funny cuz average inseam isn't too long for me (except for dress pants) and nina is taller than me and she has to get short inseam.. i guess i have longer legs and she has a longer torso. i told the cashier that i wanted to get them now because last year i waited until it was actually cold to go look for one and they were all out. ha ha. i also got another pair of just like gray pants and they are fleece on the inside.

oh and one more thing. i get paid this friday but the next check i will have over $1,000 in my savings! i'm excited. of course it will get pretty much wiped out when i pay tuition next semester but hey that's better than a loan! i've been putting half of each check in there and it's adding up pretty quick.

so i guess that's all for now.. hope you all have a great rest of the week.

oh wow! that stinks about ellen. she is definately wrong on that one huh???
oh well...
this world is filled with people who think such off the wall thoughts!

oh ya! you got a velour suit. i love my blue one but the pants are too short now. so once i wear them again (or can fit in them) i will wear them around the house. just cuz i dont need to wear high water pants out in public! LOL

that would be great if you were off the same days as your mom... i hope and pray yall can come see us and it all works out and dennis is off... it will be nice to not be alone if he does work.. :)
wow you are saving so well! i am so proud of you... even if it will be almost gone just be proud you are paying cash for school! i pray you can always do that!

Ellen is a better talk show host than she is a politician or religous authority. hahaha. oh well.

I'm really looking forward to Christmas too, I'm hoping I'm off too... it'll be fun though. I'm glad ya'll are coming up!

By the way, you're doing a good job saving. Keep up all the hard work. We're all proud of you. I know work sucks sometimes... but having the freedom of your own paycheck is worth putting up with the public!

Well, I'm going to get back to work. I hope you have a good week. Olive Garden sounds really good. you should bring me some pasta and chicken parmigiana :) I'll talk to you later. love ya.
