Rainy, cold, miserable

Saturday! I guess Fall had to arrive sooner or later, but for me later would have been better! Yes, I got some great shots of foliage (although I want to go out again before it all disappears), but winter is going to be here soon. They were actually calling for some snow today, so far we haven't seen any, thank goodness. They kids have been off Thursday and Friday, but we haven't really done anything much. Yesterday we went out to hunt for costumes, geez, was that a pain. We found Michael an outfit that was reasonable, but the prices are absurd!!!! What happened to hanging a sheet over your head and being a ghost? They wanted 14$ just for a stupid pettycoat and I wasn't willing to pay 40$ for a little flimsy dress with nothing to go. We actually went into Hot Topic (which I usually avoid like the pest) and the guy in there (who is the weirdest looking dude with a ringnose, pants hanging down his butt and a girlish demeanor) was a nice as can be and found us stuff for half price that was actually good quality (just not something I would ever let the girls wear outside of halloween). So Rachel did okay and Gabrielle will look at something I wore last year.
PixelCanvas is down again for a few days, I can't wait for them to get the new server, so we can get back to normal. People must be getting frustrated too.
I am always super busy at DD, but I love it! Here are some pages

I am glad I have been able to keep up with the 365 pages, I actually like doing them now, I am looking forward every day to finding something to take a picture of. We went to Eat n Park today and as I was pulling out my camera (just to check on something) I saw hubby rolling his eyes at the girls. I think a few years from now he will be very happy to be able to look at all those pictures that were such an imposition to take. Argh! Oh well, true art has never been recognized in one's own house :)
I started knitting again, well only on Friday nights at piano. There isn't enough time to bring the laptop right now, because Michael is taking this extra Karate class to get him ready for his Black Belt test next month, so that eats up part of the lesson sitting time. anyway, so I am working on finishing the scarf I started last year LOL. I still have a pair of socks that needs finished too. Someday.... Karate is such a minor part of my life now, it used to be so important, I would schedule everything else around the classes. Now, since hubby got sick, I just can't get myself back into that schedule. I'd rather sit here and scrap. pathetic, but I just don't feel like rushing around anymore. Plus I feel used a lot of the time too. He was asking me a couple of weeks ago if I was planning on coming Wednesday morning, because he had a private lesson that needed taught. And I was thinking, why in the world would I rush through my morning to go there and not even get a workout and teach for him. That's not why I am paying my dues. He has this weird thing about loyalty etc. I don't get it at all, oh well, not that it matters.
Phil is looking better today, he has been really pale looking to me and it worries me, but I thought he had more color today. Maybe it's just me.... plus he has to take Plavix all the time now and I think he is worried about not being able to do things, kind of an adjustment  in his life.
Oh well, we just have to have faith and continue to do our best. things will be what they will be! Have a great weekend everybody!
