Meat nor drink nor money have I none

This is from the summer time, now gas is $1.64 here. These are some crazy times!

Wow! I can't believe it's almost thanksgiving and I've been in this strange land so long, ha. I went to my first crop last night! It was a lot of fun! I got a ton of Christmas cards done, I need to count and hopefully I'm fully done with Christmas cards. I didn't get home till like 12:30 last night, man I was pooped. Mainly because Friday during school we took the kiddos to Naticus, which is SO cool! I want to go back sometime with normal sized people! I always thought it would be really dumb and all about the Navy, but let me tell you folks it is not! It was pretty sweet! So I planned on cleaning up all morning. But I usually put a movie on to clean up to and I did today, but it had subtitles! That always happens to me when I have a lot of work to do. The movie was Real Women have Curves. It was so good! I cried through most of it, but it's one of those movies that just makes me appreciate where I am in life and how much I have. I always try not to take that for granted and trust me God always helps me to stay humble and appreciative of all he has given me! ha. Times when I even have a hint of a thought in my head on how things could be so much better, God shows me how much worse they could be. Well I really do need to clean up. Sharon is coming over, we're going to a the Grand Illumination Parade downtown. I'm so excited! I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and invited her, she really is a good friend and person to have around. I guess she is really more of a mentor, and I'm NOT just saying that because she's old enough to be my grandmother. She looks out for me and offers me great advice and I am so thankful to have that in my life right now. Ok, enough is enough I must go and clean: dishes, put laundry away, scrub tub, Put scrapping book junk away, and then I have to go get gas! My gas light came on last night but I wasn't about to get gas that late at night, mace or no mace!
