Blah blah blah

Yay! It's almost the weekend again! I still have so much to do for our garage sale, but i can't wait to get rid of stuff. This has been a long week. We have had a bunch of training at work, during our lunchtime everyday. They have been good workshops, but they make the days even longer. I will be happy when this week is over. I am really hoping we can plan some sort of vacation soon ... even if it's just a mini getaway. I feel like I need something to look forward to. I need to know that at some point (the sooner the better) I will have more than 2 days off in a row. I really want to go to Illinois to visit the family. I wish it wasn't so dang far. And it's not like we can just pick up and go some weekend. Tickets are so expensive and then we have to find people to care for our dogs and other animals. I would really like to drive there ... but of course that takes a lot more time. And gas. I don't know, hopefully we can make it there soon. I would also like to go to Mexico or San Diego. I haven't been to the beach in forever! (Ok, we went to a couple beaches in Costa Rica ... but we didn't do a lazy beach day). The only other time we have been to the beach together was when I went with Rudy's family in 2005. I use to go to the beach at least once a year! I hate the part of growing up that means all the money that we make goes to bills and paying for life ... and then there's never any money for travel and fun. We are trying to save though and hopefully we can go somewhere soon. I would really like to rent a cabin in the mountains for our 5 year anniversary. Probably won't happen at this point, but we'll see.

Watched the debate .... interesting. Didn't really change my mind. I am still not certain that I am even going to vote. People keep telling me how un-responsible that it is ... but why should I vote for someone that I don't like? And to be honest, I really don't like either one of them. If I do vote I know who it will be for, but mainly because I really don't want the other one to win. I don't know, I will just be so happy when this election is over and no matter the outcome, it's only for 4 years and then we will have another chance to hopefully get a better candidate in there.

Dogs are so weird. My little boy is on the floor next to me licking this little spot on the carpet that he always licks and he rolls himself around in it too. What is that? I find it so odd. I wonder what it is that he smells. I guess I will probably never know.

I love that the weather has been so awesome. The mornings and nights are so cold! it is so great. I can't believe that we are halfway through October and once again Christmas is sneaking up on us very quickly! I really want to get started on shopping so that I can have it done early this year and not get all stressed out at the last minute. I want to just enjoy the season and all the holidays. I also want to have some sort of holiday party at our house. We have been wanting to have a "come see our house" party but just haven't been able to get it together. I am just all-around bad at planning parties. I prefer just to go to them. :) Well anyway I am starting to bore myself. I think it's time for bed. I didn't get very good sleep last night so I am extra tired tonight.

Happy Thursday!
