Sniffle
My son is singing the national anthem in the shower. Just thought I'd share.
I can't decide if I have a cold or some sort of late fall allergies. Given that we had our first official frost last night, I'm thinking this is a cold. I went to get my allergy shots today and was told they were cutting back on my dust mite dose because it's now dust mite season. Too bad we can't hunt down and kill the little critters they way some people do with deer.
Anywho, my extravaganza of giving crap away on freecycle.org so far has gotten a box of plastic fruit out of my house, and three other things are supposedly on their way out as well (as long as the person who emailed me shows up tomorrow). I sold three of my books so far on Amazon. I'm thinking I need to list a few more things on freecycle and start donating some old clothes to charity and then this house might actually be 1. cleaner and 2. have more room. Although the cleaner part I doubt; I cleaned this place like a madwoman Friday morning because I was babysitting my friend's baby on Friday night and it stayed clean for about 24 hours and then settled back into mayhem. Sigh.
My husband realized last night the reason I had been so cold all weekend was that one of our bedroom windows was cracked open. Probably by me. Because I love to waste money and freeze my extremities that way.
We've been invited to what is apparently the Halloween shindig of the year in our city. I still need to RSVP but my parents are taking the kids so it's pretty much a done deal. We got invited because our son plays hockey with this couple's son and my husband has been friendly with the husband who invited us. The mayor of our crappy little city is going, and invite list was over 200 people long. Although my husband hates the idea of wearing a costume, he actually wants to go because if our son doesn't play hockey again next year, we probably won't be invited back. When I told my friend Pam we had been invited, her eyes practically bugged out and she said I had to go because it was THE party. I've begged one of my other friends to look for her Raggedy Ann and Andy costumes that she thought she had; otherwise there is going to be a last-minute trip to Target or Wal-Mart to see what we can scrounge up. This will be my first costume party in years, and I am bringing a couple bottles of wine because if I don't know anyone, at least I can be less awkward with some booze in me. Any and all costume suggestions will be considered, so don't hold back. Just realize I am not capable of sewing.
