I thought I’d take a moment to steer away from the bowling and bring you firmly into my world of the mornings around here. I thought it might be a little fun to pull back the curtain and share with you exactly how weekday mornings go in my world.
In theory I should dedicate today’s post to the men and women of our Armed Forces. Did everyone check your calendars and remember that today is Veteran’s Day? No? Did it go by un-noticed and forgotten yet again? If you are not a government employee, did you even have the day off? Bank employees don’t count — you people make-up days just to take them off 
And yet this year has seemed strangly slient on the matter of Veteran’s Day. So, while I probably should write a detailed post about how we should honor then men and women who serve, I shall not. I will honor my veteran in some way — perhaps by cooking his dinner and maybe (only if he is very good) finishing the laundry. Feel free to go here and thank him for his service and remind him to pick up his socks.
One of the things I truly hate about bowling night is that I SUCK at bowling. I mean seriously, I’m not any good. Even with my bloated handicap (which frankly is just enough pins to make me feel like a real bowler, but always reminding me that I in fact suck and need to be spotted nearly 100 pins to have a snowball’s chance in a hot place of winning a match), I firmly hold my team back.
As of last week’s standings, we dropped to 4th place — but I know we will be coming back and soon. The bye week’s throw me off, because we have more points than one of the team’s ahead of us, but it ranked on percentages. However, back to ME.
I know I owe you details on Halloween and it will come, once I get a certain much needed photo. In a nutshell, for the fourth Halloween in a row, my son (the one who is capable of running in 5 directions at once when excited) slept through Halloween! He has never, no not once, had a piece of Halloween candy — why? Because within seconds of the costume going on, he goes right to sleep.
Anyway, after repelling and the “excitement” of Halloween, blogging onboard the ship was greatly reduced. Thus I must bring you back into real time and do a lovely list of bullet points to cover the first few days of November. (more…)
