I cannot believe it's October already! Although, I am digging the fall weather. I hate it when the seasons decide to go from summer, to a week of fall, and straight into winter and, ugh, snow...Although, I did hear someone at work say snow was predicted for later this month...but then again, what else is new?
We went from the flu to colds. I was so psyched to have stayed healthy after Erich and Harper got sick, but alas, my multivitamin theory was a bust, as I am sick. It's currently just an annoying scratchy throat, but I had something similar when I was pregnant last fall, and it turned into the most miserable cold of my life. Le sigh.
On Thursday I took a half day from work so my mom and I could attend our public library's annual sale of discontinued books. it's probably my favorite sale of the year, I love it more than Black Friday. I mean, it's a room full of books at "cheap" prices, plus they have records and cds and movies, and well, it's just plain awesome. My problem is that I buy these treasures that I find, and then don't read them. Case in point, while preparing for this sale, I found the bag of books I bought last year...I maybe read one of them. Which leads me to my problem. Hi, my name is Susie, and I am a chronic book buyer and not reader. I don't get why, but if I see a good deal on a book I am only kinda interested in, it feels wrong not to buy it...I know I'm not the only one out there, and I have gotten better, but it's definitely a problem when it comes to storage of said books. This year I only purchased 7 books, as well as a kids book for Harper, and two VHS tapes of Sesame Street. All for $9! A steal if you ask me! But I digress...
So, one of the videos I got is rather sentimental for me, as it's the same one my nephew was addicted to when he was little...my little baby nephew who will be 18 next month. I cannot believe it, as it seems just like yesterday my sister was going into labor, and I was pissed because I was going to have to walk the 6 blocks to school that morning for choir practice...I was always the loving sister, can't you tell? The fam is all coming over for dinner tonight, so I'm going to surprise him by playing the tape. Surprisingly enough, I remembered the words to almost all the songs--here's a link to my favorite one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDJsgtoizj8.
Speaking of family, I am making dinner, and I'm pretty sure I ruined the chili because I added red pepper powder instead of chili powder, and apparently there's a difference. I got online to find a solution to my hot hot dish and got distracted...go figure. OK, off to fix my dish!
