Well, it's painful but I'm finally able to admit I'm addicted to Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. I won't even watch them when they're actually aired. I TiVo them to watch later and make sure I don't watch them all so I always have at least one saved. They say the first step is admitting you have a problem...
Our local high school football team lost Friday night and won't be going to the playoffs. We've been spoiled over the years with a top-notch, state-championship caliber football team. On the other hand, with an unexpected change in band directors and major upheavals to the program, our high school marching band earned a spot to compete for the state title. They placed 7th in the state. Way go to, band!
I made a fleece blanket for my youngest son. He was sweet enough to show great excitement and then tell me the best thing about it is that I made it for him. Now he just might get a matching pillow!
My oldest son was in a car accident last Tuesday and is still without transportation. I tell him it's good for him to stay at school on weekends - I just don't let him know how much more I miss him when he doesn't make it home.
We enjoyed "Halloween Hoopla" downtown Saturday afternoon. It was particularly nice to have our grandson and oldest daughter with us, too. Our crew consisted of two great pirates and one incredibly charming tiger. Costumes and candy and crafts, oh my! Our church took over sponsorship from the city this year and it was a great success. We had over 100 folks volunteering to make it fun for everyone!
Our pastor finished up his current series today. I'll bet you didn't realize that faith is like an IPod? Now there's something I can relate to!
Fall is my favorite time of year and this evening was especially nice. We went with family to their church (our former church) for an outdoor hot dog supper. All the kids were busy at play in the fresh air; running around, tossing a football, games of tag. The weather was perfect. Everyone brought lawn chairs and enjoyed hot dogs (from the grill or cook your own over the fire), chili, slaw, baked beans, chips, cookies, soda, coffee, marshmallows for roasting, and a pinata for the kids. It's always great seeing our old church family. They're dear people and I love the chance to catch-up.
It was a great food day. Mutt's BBQ for their Sunday lunch buffet and a chili-slaw dog for dinner. It doesn't get much better than that!
Well, I was wrong on which potential "Next Iron Chef" would be eliminated tonight, BUT my guy and Christopher and Abbey's guy are still in the running.
Congratulations to Boston Red Sox for a 4-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies to win the World Series title. Our very own Greenville Drive is a farm team of the Sox. Also, good job, Clemson, for your win Saturday, and better luck next week USC.
Have a great week!
