Things that happened yesterday:
I got new floors. They are awesome.
I ditched school. That was awesome too.
Peter, Ben & I had portraits taken.
I bought new clothes for Ben.
I ate way too much and did not run.
I was freaking tired and took several random naps along with Ben.
I went to Lowe's.
I went to bed at 9:00. That was the best part of the day.

Things to look forward to:
December 11: Concerts/shows are over. Relief, relaxation.
Thanksgiving. A brief gap in the chaos of the musical holiday season.
Next Saturday: Cat/griz, Dad's birthday.
Molly getting engaged. It's going to happen soon; I feel it!
My 5th grade Christmas program, called "North Pole Star." A spoof on American Idol, half written by me, and it is brilliant. R to the E to the I to the N to the D to the EER.
My 6-8 honor choir. They are amazing. And they are performing a soul/funk medley. It is rad.
The next time I get to hug my boy.
Molly & I going to Carrie Underwood next Friday, then out on the town! Holla!


Things I love about fall:
Sweaters
Colors
Football (even though it bores me, there's something fun about the atmosphere...)
Back to school. Until the second week, when I am already tired and annoyed.
Thick blankets.
Looking forward to the holidays.
Looking forward to snow.
Thanksgiving. Binge eating is always good.

Obsessions/Collections:
Ben.
Musical theater. Performing and watching. Music directing is ok too... but not as fun as performing...
Torturing junior high children.
Quilting... wish I was better at it.
Dancing... wish I was way better at it.
Running... I don't know if it's an obsession, though.
Facebook.
Texting.


My wish list:
Happiness
To be RICH. (Don't judge. I don't believe anyone who says they don't want this.)
A great future for Ben and whomever else comes along
To have more time to perform
To have more time to take dance classes
For my voice to come back to normal (it's trashed right now)
A fun vacation with Peter
To have four more hours in every day.

Viking

Ben is a miniature Viking. He looks like a real beefcake here.

Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!!Well, Ben's first Halloween was pretty exciting. He did not seem to enjoy dressing up, and slept through most of the trick-or-treating. But I'm sure that he did enjoy it... on some level....

Pumpkin Sleeper

Chili Pepper Costume!

Hot Stuff

Puppy Costume!

The "Ben Face." Mouth wide open. He is like this 90% of the time.

I do not LIKE my puppy costume.

I am so tired. Why are you doing this to me?

Ben's friend Cormick was also a puppy! It wasn't even planned... it was just meant to be.
When we went trick-or-treating at Cormick's house, at first Ben refused to wake up. He was determined to sleep through the whole ordeal.

Now he's awake, and happy!

Cutest puppies ever!
