I've done one Lia Sophia show and am in the middle of a catalog show. Things are going well so far. I'm really close to meeting my first goal for my Excellent Beginnings. It's fun and I absolutely love all the jewelry. If anybody wants anything, just let me know! ;)
Can't wait for girls weekend! I'll be flying home so that'll save me lots to time driving. I just can't wait to see all my favorite ladies in Bismarck. I'd have to say it's my 2nd favorite special event of the year. #1 is Christmas. Turkey day used to be up there, but I haven't been able to go home for it for a few years. I still love my birthday, but they've gotten less exciting each year, unfortunately.
I'm bummed about my elimination from King of the Hill. A PTA I work with invited me to this pool last year and this year. Basically you choose just one team that you think will win each week. If that team wins, then you move on to the next week. But you can't pick the same team twice. The last person to be in it wins the pot. Then we start all over, even if it's the middle of the season. Anyway, we had 30 people in it, $10 each, so the pot was $300! by week 5 it was cut to 13 peeps. Well, then in week 6 I picked Philly. Damn Eagles lost. So I'm out. But I hope it starts over soon. On a brighter note, I won the week 6 family football pool! Tiebreaker, baby! Melissa and I also have our own little bet. We pick one game each week to put $5 on. We try to pick a game that we think could go either way. Well, unforunately for Melissa, I'm up $20 so far. But there's still a lot of season left! Don't worry bff!
So Halloween is coming up. Don't think I'll dress up. We aren't gonna do much, just hang out and have some beers. Our typical weekend night routine. That's what we really enjoy. We're pretty mellow people. Last weekend our friends Sam and Ben came over. Sam and I carved pumpkins. We made slow cooker beef stroganoff and baklava bars - both very yummy. But now the damn squirrels are eating my pumpkin! Little bastards.
Before
After
Oh well, what can you do! I looked online about how to stop squirrels from eating them, but I was too lazy to actually do what they said, so I didn't. I'd like to catch those little guys on tape eating it, I think it would be entertaining.
Well, have a great end of October everyone! POB.

Didn't you have this little squirrel problem last year? Perhaps you buy some crappy ones early and let the squirrels get fat...then they won't eat your nice artwork. Is artwork a single word?
Either that or you are crappy at carving pumpkins and are blaming the poor squirrels...bastards
Yes, you're right. I had this squirrel problem last year. This year I sprayed them with perfume hoping that would deter them, but nope. Artwork - yes, one word.
Ok, me crappy at carving? I believe I have the before and after pics for you to judge that. Alright, I'm not great.
Holy long blog, but I like it-so much fun info. about your life! As you already know, I can't wait for girls weekend either!
And how funny, well maybe not to you, but looking at those pics of the pumpkins before and after the squirrels!! Love it but sorry that it happened!
See you soon sis-love you!
It's about dang time you updated, lady! Good post - you always have such good things going on! I want to buy jewelry...you should bring some catalogs home with you for girls weekend.
Sorry about your pumpkins. Little bastard squirrels. We're carving our pumpkins tonight...and we'll be keeping them indoors. =)
See you soon!
Well, B, it was bound to happen with the pumpkins. I don't care that much. It's actually kinda cute to see their little teeth marks in it.
E: I'll definitely bring a mag home for you! Jewelry is addicting! What did you carve in your pumpkins? I want pics on Fbook.
6 days ladies!!
