Busy what a day! I can't believe how busy we were?? Guess everyone was thinking they don't need their computer's tomorrow!! Susan didn't come in till about 2:15. She went & ran errands & was helping her Mom cook. She called an inpromptu meeting we all had to gather around her computer to watch something. Which we all thought was the commerical we did awhile back. But NO was about one of the Friendly computer guy's getting busted for child porn!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!
I had a haircut last night that cancelled cause he threw out his back. So made it for tonight around 7, he called me at 4 he had stayed home from work. So I went to him SWEET he paid me 30 bucks!! I was like dude that's too much?? Anyway he wouldn't let me leave without taking it!!

DH went to Raleigh this morning & is on his way home, should be here about 8.
I have my pumpkin pie in the oven. Shoot I forgot to get some kind of meat for breakfast!
I'm not going back out!!!
Then I found out thru one of the girls at the hair salon. The Little Debbie Man passed away he was the sweetest!! I met him at my Papa's bread store & used to see him everywhere delivering Little Debbie cakes! His wife goes to this girl to get her hair done. I started chatting with her one day awhile back & it's a small world! I want to go to the wake Friday night to pay my respects.
Then another friend called her Dad had a heart attack while driving plus an accident and is in ICU.
*Edited to add* Bummer my friend's Dad passed away
Whew deep breaths!! LOL it's been a wild day!!

Good morning all!!

We are all moved into the new shop!! Got most of it all set up. Phone company was hooking up the phone when I got there yesterday & cable got there around 11:30. The landlord & general manager both came over & welcomed us in the hood! Both are really nice!!
DH wanted me to hook up his email with Craig's list on the laptop while he went & met his brother last night to get the rest of his pay. So I had to go thru the cable site & figure that all out!!
Also figured out how to change my password that they assigned me.
Was a kooky 12 letter number combo that I can never remember to save my life!
I want to look at all my recipes I making for Thanksgiving & make sure I have everything. So I don't have to run out at the last minute.

I also played around on here & borrowed Loralynn's background site her blog is really nice!!

So I took the label & had more mixed. Only it wasn't the same color :( This one is lighter & more pink. I have no idea where the orignial paint lid went!!?? I liked the other one better was a bit darker & gave the kitchen a warm glow. So I was going to go early this morning to get the paint only my paycheck hasn't been deposited???

Happy November!!

Good morning!! I know it's really evening but I started this really early!
I've been bouncing off the walls already!! LOL I have no idea what time I really got up??? First time it was 3 so really 2?? But went & laid on the couch till I heard the coffee pot go on at 5 so really was 4??
I don't know?? LOL
DH & I have have spent the last 2 days doing stuff together, like a budget, food shopping, talking & just getting along!! We had "date night" Saturday morning stuffed our faces a Golden Corral!! We did go out last Wed. night too!! A sports bar at the beach has half price nights on Mon., Wed., Fri., & Sundays from 5 to 9. So DH had a ham & turkey club sandwich & I had a grilled steak with mushrooms, onions & cheese on a grilled pita with 2 sodas was less than 10 bucks!! Was good too!!
Looks like DH is going to Raleigh Tuesday morning for 2 weeks!! So I put 5 chicken thighs & legs in the crock pot last night. Took them out this morning & put the broth in 2 pot's. Put pastry(like fat noodles) in one & rice in the other. Than picked the chicken thru & wow have a huge pot of chicken & pastry & a huge pot of chicken & rice yummmm!! Put some in containers for him to take with him! Also have a pot of green beans going! After church I wanna make that apple cake again, this time in loaf pans. We went to a few yard sales looking for a tube pan but no luck:( I did the apple cake in a bundt pan last time it was good but didn't look like the picture!! So maybe the loafs will look more like the picture!! OK gotta move sitting still too long!!!
