In October I'll be host...

October is nearly here and with these new cold days and crunchy leaves underfoot, there are stirrings happening inside of my people. Oooh, that sounded  condescending. By 'my' people, I mean the people I love. Yes, including myself. I do love me.

With me-- I did it. I quit my lesser part time job to work with Don. Help his schedule, plan, do the books, update his facebook... Ha ha. So that's pretty exciting. I must admit, I am looking forward to working in my bathrobe. Ha ha. Although you know how formal offices have 'casual friday's'? I'm thinking of implementing Formal Fridays just so we don't always work till 2 in our pj's. So yeah, stop by the amero house hold on fridays from now on and you'll find us in our Sunday best! 

With Becky-- She decided last week to drop out of school and pursue art. I'm pretty excited for her. Almost the next day she decided to move to Toronto for a few months. That also is cool. In fact, I'm a wee bit jealous...but more excited! I think she'll just have tons of fun and hopefully find a job in somewhere awesome...like a cool art gallery or something. But frick will I miss my buddy. We hang out all the time and probably fight the most out of all my sisters, but probably also make up in record time for two arguing people anywhere. We are super awesome at doing nothing together and now I'll have to actually leave my house to go do nothing with my other sisters. Ah well. I've learned how to text from my email so I don't have to get a cell phone and I can still talk to her anytime.

With others

-My sister in law, Courtney, is pregnant again! Quite cool! I already love little sammy so much, I can't wait to have another little cutie from them to cuddle and play with! I mean, come ON, look at that face!!

-My sister sister Kim is driving down to TO with becky this week, I am also jealous of their impromtu road trip...

-My dad is spearheading a group of people going down to ND to do some disaster relief work where it flooded this past spring. Don and I were quite excited to join in ... and then. Don remembered he offered a house concert to someone and of course they had booked it during that week. So now I am going solo. Well not quite. I am accompanying 3 men. 1- Bob, not only my awesome dad of five great kids, but also a master jack of all trades, specializing in electrical, 2-George, a master carpenter, home builder, car fix-ing kinda guy and 3-Ken, a superior window installer who built not only his own house, but his window business from the ground up and owns a shop in his back yard that I think is quite bigger than his house. 4- me. Supreme movie watcher, extraordinary licorice eater, talented slurpee drinker and incredible couch warmer. I really think I can show these guys a thing or two.*

-And sortof a new thing, but not really, we are now in a house. In time. For. Halloween. iamsoexcited!!! I lovvve, lovve, looovvvvvvve halloween. It's not nearly as fun anymore because I don't get school parties and pumpkin cupcakes and parades down the hallways and painting your face and making your costume and coming home with ooooooodles of candy. But now I get my very own steps to fill with carved pumpkins. My own bannisters to swath in fake spider web. My own porch to fill with eerie candles. And the best part? I get to hand out whatever candy I want. No raisins at this house baby! Full sized chocolate bars. Treat bags stuffed with the good candy. Canned drinks. Oh yeah. I am good to go. And I think we'll dress up too. Let's have some fu-un! Oh wait, I did see an ad for a reformation service that night...maybe I should go to that instead and avoid the pits of hell. 

 Ummm.....nope! Candy wins again!

So bring it, October.  Let's see what you've got.

*Oh, believe you me, I would kick some working man ass in a texting/emailing/blogging  competition given the chance. 

Which I never will be given. The chance.
