2nd Go Round

I already tried to post a new blog today, and for some reason, when I hit submit, it came to a page that said "page unavailable" and never posted my blog. I'll try this again and add to it! I actually started Christmas shopping today! Crazy I know, but with vacation in Dec. and all, I figured I'd better start. Plus my mom decided *I* would shop for her this year, and left money for the girls and Eric when they were here in Sept. So today I shopped for Morgan, just from my Mom. It doesn't take long to spend $120. I did manage to buy her 7 things and have $6 left over for a brush set (for makeup), as soon as I find one. Guess I'll try Wal-Mart, as Targets were $12.99!!!
Morgan had a dance after school today for H'ween. Her vice principal told her she couldn't wear her costume, said it was too "provocative". I guess he's lucky she asked him before she just showed up in it! It wasn't anything horrible, she just put together her own version of a super hero, was going to wear black tights with her volleyball spandex over them, and then a pair of red "super hero" panties with a big star on them over that. Then of course a red shirt, gloves and a feather boa! But Mr. Orth said no, so she borrowed a devil costume from her friend.
Ashley had a voice recital today. Unfortunately the only ones invited were the students. It was in the instructors house and she doesn't have room for tons of family. I told Ashley it would have just been me, but I guess one of the students brings everyone from her parents and sisters, to her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I guess this is just a "practice" for their big recital in December.
Eric is stopping by a friends for a few beers on the way home, so here I sit by myself, accompanied by the dogs.....at least they love to be around me!
