Pumpkin Carving!!


The first pumpkin is Ichabod done by me, the second one is a skull that was done by freehand by Mike and the last is a cat done by moi. We bought these really neat lights for the pumpkins which makes it safer than using real candles but the lights also give them a unique appearance and glow.

I'm apparently allergic to pumpkins (go figure) and i rubbed my eye. Big mistake because for 2 days it was swollen and red. It looked like i had pink eye. It was gross.

There will be no going back from this....

Orly and I are going to the Rio Grande Valley super early Saturday morning. I know, exciting times in the RGV. NOT. So to entertain the kiddos I decided to get a portable dvd player. Ryan already has one but he needs a new battery on it. I priced them online and they run about 40 dollars. With shipping and handling you're looking at about 60 bucks. Pfft. F That. So I start researching a little bit more and venture off into Ebay land. I was once addicted to that website back when I was planning my wedding. Sure enough, I find what i'm looking for...





DUAL PORTABLE DVD PLAYER!!





They are pretty badass because they come with a car kit so I can hang them on the back of the headrests. YAY! I love technology. They have their own car chargers (my jeep has 2 outlets in it..even BETTER!) and cases. They also include 2 headsets. So no more annoying "turn that down Ryan!" every 5 seconds for 5 hours. I just hope Maddox sleeps for 5 hours. He likes to get out of his carseat after 30 min of being in the car. I now see why people buy minivans. Not that I would ever BUY one.





Anyway, I won my bid and I "won" this...Hell..I may even sit in the back now. :)

Frustration!!

I'm going to vent because I really feel pretty peeved right now.

My Aunt and "Uncle" are living with me and Orly right now because they are building their beeeautiful home and have their current home on the market to be sold.

First off, I'd like my house back. That is not going to happen anytime soon.

Second, I'd like for them to help out with keeping the house clean. Is that too hard to ask for? If you cook something, clean it up. If you leave a mess, clean it up. It's a concept we've all learned at one point in our lives. I'm sure their beautiful new home will be mess free when it's ready for them.

Lastly, why is it SOOOO damn hard for them to pick up Maddox at a decent hour? He's such a good little guy. He's never fussy. He's always happy (as long as he isn't hungry or has a poopy diaper), and he LOVES them. So whats the problem people?? Pick him up and don't leave him at daycare all damn day. I consider that the LEAST thing you can do when you're living in our home for FREE! UGH!

Oh, and one more thing. Quit putting ideas in Ryan's head about Mc SAME- Mc Cant. He's not our President dammit. He's 7. Telling him that McCain is a "good guy" and Obama is a "not so good guy" is means for eviction.

Rant over.

I won these tickets today! Too bad im not a fan.

Kelly~they are yours if you want them.

Grand Opening with Mix 94.7

We had Heather Rivera at our store today. Needless to say, it didn't bring much traffic in to our store as expected. Oh well, I got me some free tickets to see Changeling starring the fabulous Angelina Jolie! YAY!

I took this because i thought he was going to die..

What you can't see from this pic is that his ladder was hoisted from the bedliner of his truck. Yikes! I thought that the ladder was going to slip and he'd come tumbling down. It didn't happen, fortunately for him. Funny thing though, he wanted me to take a pic of him using his iPhone.

But also... WE'RE OPEN!! We've been open, actually. It's been a bit dead but soon enough it will be crazy busy. Until then...I'll post random work pics.

Thats gonna leave a mark.

I was driving home yesterday from work and it was all smooth sailing up until I get around the 5th street exit on Mopac.

30 minutes later I see why it was backed up. I don't understand though... I didn't see any other cars involved so how the eff did this happen? Hmm....

ACL

I'm the biggest LOSER EVERRRR. I have never wimped out this big but I did this time around. Friday was good. We picked up Kelly and met up with Dana and Jim at Z Tejas. It was delish!! I had pulled pork enchiladas with black beans and rice. Yum.


ACL was in usual form. Hot, dusty, and filled with nasty port a pottys. Day one and they already stunk. It was foul.


By mid day I was already popping 2 allergy pills. By the end of the night I was coughing up nasty stuff and had to use my inhaler. I'm convinced it's the dust. I couldn't go to Saturdays event and on Sunday Dana and I had to finish up the store. It was a crazy week-weekend.
