Well, it's humpday, so the week's half over....yay! Bill started his new job yesterday and he likes it...that's great! The insurance is great; which was one of the awesome things to me....$10 copays and no deductible....100% covered after the copay. I'll love that! It's been so long since I've had insurance.....The drive hasn't been too bad for him; it takes about 45 minutes and he switches rides with a friend. Well, I say switches rides....they always have (the last place Bill worked, they worked together and switched rides)...anyway Bill's little POC truck broke down the other day and we are looking for something else to buy that's a POC but runs...so in the meantime, Ike is driving. So, if you know of a POC truck for sale; let us know! (POC=Piece O Crap)

Grace will FINALLY get to be here to spend the night this weekend and we're gonna get out the halloween stuff. I can't wait to decorate our front porch! Bill wants to make it scary like....we will be cutting some tombstones out of wood and painting them for the front yard....all that kind of good stuff. I'll post some pictures after we do it.

I'll be traveling to Chicago next weekend to see my little brother's graduation from the Naval Academy. Just me and Raymond....that should be an interesting trip. He freaks out over the littlest things just like I do....yikes! We'll be leaving Thurs evening and coming back Sunday. Hopefully we'll get to do something fun like the Museum of Science and Industry...that place is so neat and I haven't been in years! We thought about taking a train but figured up gas mileage and it's a lot cheaper to drive so hopefully the traffic won't be horrible.

I was reading in People magazine the other day about a celebrity (I think it was Matt Damon) was over in somplace like Haiti or something feeding the hungry....I just don't understand why all of these rich, famous celebrities don't help the people in their own country. There are plenty of people here in the US who need food and shelter...or are just plain down on their luck and actually are trying but are struggling....why don't they help them? It amazes me. If you have a different opinion, or even the same, please enlighten me!

I didn't know my friend from Sesser, Angie, was reading my blog...so this is just for you....
"I'm hot"
"Turn the fan on"
"No, You turn it on"
"I hate you"
"I hate you too!"
"No you don't"
"I know"
Wind tunnel follows......

Well, that's all for tonight. I'm gonna go see what's on channel 3, 12, 23, or 49! Have a good night!
