Happy Halloween!!!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

I hope everybody had a great day and didn't get spooked to much tonight.

Today is the first Halloween that I haven't got to spend with my daughter Marci and granddaughter Megan : ( Since we moved I knew they wouldn't want to drive to our new house which is about 45 minutes from their home so I was sitting here with hubby watching TV and feeling all sad and depressed cause I didn't get to go out trick or treating with the little one and since we live in the boonies we hadn't had a single gobblin at our house......

All of a sudden the door bell rings and there stands Megan dressed as Hannah Montana (which is her idol right now) she had her Mom and Dad hide so I wouldn't know who she was......LOL They sure made my day by coming by and sharing their story of their trick or treating in our old neighborhood tonight. Marci said she even went to our old house ~ which is empty right now and up for sale~ and rang the door bell 'for old times sakes' lmao That's my girl !!!!

Love ya Kate : ) Here's a pic of Megan I took tonight. I hope to get some digital scrapping done and I'll post my layout when I get it finished.

Good evening and good night!!!

Our house is up For Sale ~ FINALLY!!!

On Sunday, Oct. 21 we finally got our house listed with a realtor and now have it listed on the www !!!! I was about ready to give up after all of the work that we have been doing trying to get it ready. Every time I thought we were finished there was something else that had to be done, like trimming hedges, mowing, covering the pool, repainting rooms, etc. Our realtor is doing an excellent job so far and is expecting to have an Open House on it next Sunday. I'll be keeping my fingers and everything else crossed that all goes well....LOL Of course, I do realize that this is a horrible time to expect a fast sale with the market being slow and the holidays and cold weather creeping around the corner. But, at least I think all the work there is finished now and I can concentrate on fixing up our new home. We've been here over two months now and I still don't have my curtains up ( I do have blinds over the windows) so no peeping toms allowed!!!! LMAO

Still been going to my therapy three times a week for my neck and back. Had a horrible spell with it Friday night and Saturday. I honestly think it is getting worse but can't blame the doc, I'm not suppose to be doing any work and just spent this past weekend painting the bedroom ~ twice! No pain, no gain....

I'm hoping to gain more time now to work on my digital scrapbooking, which is the reason I created this blog in the first place, so I can show off and share the pages that I make with my family and friends. I have a few pages in the works so hopefully soon I can show you what I've been learning *grins*

Well that's about it for today, been a long one so I am heading off to la la land...

Am I pitiful or what???

Well I started out with good intentions of posting here at least once a week.....
now the months have flown by since I have gotten to sit down and write here, this is definiately what I would call 'pitiful' . But I do have plenty of what I would call "excuses" lmao
On August 11th we moved into our new house which was a very exciting, nerve wracking, tiring day. My son Chad and son-in-law Skeeter helped us do the moving, well, actually they did all of the moving for us and had us settled in by the afternoon. Thanks again so very much guys, couldn't have done it without ya!!!
The next day was my birthday, and I tell ya, I could feel every single day of my long life. roflmao I had so many aches and pains and would have just as soon spent the day in bed. It's hell getting older.
After we get moved in and half way settled here, then we have to start going back to our house that we moved from to get it all nice and spiffy so we can put it on the market to sell. We thought this would be a fast deed and not take to many days to complete, well it's been two months and we're still busting our ass to get finished! Of course we haven't put a lot of time into it this past month, just kind of lost heart and our bodies feel like they've lifted the last paint brush and hammer they can handle......LOL We are all finished now though and should be meeting the Real Estate lady this weekend and get the ball rolling, although we don't look for a speedy sale the way the market is right now, that's just our kind of luck.
August 25th was Mom's birthday and my sister and her hubby came in from GA to visit so we all went to Outback for dinner with Mom and Everette and then everybody came here to the house to see it, we had a good afternoon and enjoyed seeing everybody.
I hurt my back a couple of weeks ago and now am going to therapy three times a week and that will be reduced to twice a week real soon. I can't really tell the therapy is helping any but what the hell, it can't hurt. After we got moved in here, I wanted to start getting myself back into shape (never was what you would call 'in shape') so I joined a local health club, leave it to me to injure myself on the very first visit, doing water aerobics of all things!!!!! LMAO My poor neck and shoulders just weren't use to all that movement so it stirred up my herniated discs real good this time, I'm having therapy on that too, just can't wait to see what else is going to fall apart on me.
My daughter Marci and her hubby have been visiting with us pretty often and I sure do enjoy seeing them here. Her and Megan argue over who is the real owner of my 2nd bedroom..LOL They have stayed the night with us several times and we are going to start having a Pajama Party once a month where we'll play cards, watch a good movie, etc. and they'll stay the night with us. We had a great time last weekend together, played some Rook and Uno and drank a 'little' wine, went out to Wendy's hamburgers and picked up supper. Here's to many more Pajama parties in our future!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I could ramble on and on about what's been going on in my life the past few months but I probably have already put you to sleep. LMAO Anywhoooooo, I do plan on being a better blogger now and hopefully post my life's happenings at least once a week, mainly that's cause I don't want to forget anything.. roflmao I've got to change my header soon too, it was hot, summertime when I started this and now the Fall leaves are coming down with Thanksgiving looking right at us and Christmas commercials already on TV, where does time go???? Okay, that's it for now!!!!!!
