In an effort to get my creative juices flowing again I have been mulling over the goings on in Weaselville and thinking about all the angles I could write about. Alas, I'm finding that I am full of randomness, so I'm just going to run with it and throw some Tuesday Tidbits your way.
~ I have already told you that my old tried and true coffee maker died on me a few weeks back. Well, I have since replaced it with the updated model of itself. It's the shiny, metallic red color that I love and looks beautiful in my kitchen. However, it makes some lousy coffee. It must be because it is all clean on the inside or something.
~ It's hockey season once again and that makes me happy, but most of the games that I want to see I am unable to watch from my couch. That's a pain in my neck and in the wallet. No, I will not sign up for the special sports package.
~ An acquaintance of mine has promised me tickets to the only regular season game this year where the Flyers will face off against the Blackhawks, in January. This is huge, as these are coveted tickets in this town. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he comes through with this incredibly generous gift.
~ Halloween was a big hit, as usual. Of course in all the commotion of readying the Weasels, preparing a meal that kids could eat at will, hosting seven stray Weasel friends and handing out candy, I forgot to pull out my camera.
~ Yesterday I received a phone call from school. Smallest Weasel was in the office and complaining of a headache and stomach ache. No fever and she did not want to come home. It was decided that she was simply over tired and suffering from a Halloween Hangover, 6 year old style. The wonderful ladies in the front office agreed, gave her a placebo and she happily trotted back to class.
~ Report cards came home last Friday. Can you pass me the Tums?
~ Today is election day and I look forward to getting to the polls. I also look very forward to an end of all the commercials, phone calls, mailings and wall to wall news coverage of every race in the nation.
That's all for now, folks. Here's to hoping that I get my creative juices flowing again soon.
