October Happennings

the 1st of November already!wow can't believe it,where has October gone??
The Month of October was filled with birthdays,baby showers, Halloween and the start of the Holiday season, also known as"the most wonderful time of the year" I do concur!
It started off with my oldest brother Ray, turning 50, we had a little family and friends party for him at our pops, with lots of good food and fun and it gave me the chance to mess with my brother for the entire day, since it being a benchmark number and all-first I was nice and took him out to breakfast, than I teepee'd his truck,wrote him a sentimental poem and got a bunch of signs ragging on his getting older to make him laugh on his special day.Good Family times! Other birthdays we celebrated this month were my grandson Nathan,who turned 7 this year, and my sister Lety.

A not so good thing going on in our neighborhood has been  burglaries during the daylight hours,we have had 2 so far and thankfully some of the individuals were caught! We started our own little neighborhood watch for our street -Hopefully we won't have any more of these incidents with everyone keeping an extra vigilant eye out and exchanging numbers.

Local elections are coming up,I enjoy being a part of the process and volunteer to help candidates outs when needed but I especially like when my picture is posted as part of the candidates pamphlets and mailed out for the entire city to see-my dad called me to tell me I was a superstar when he received the pamphlet in the mail and saw my picture on it!luv it!

I am still working on my "get healthy" kick and to date have lost 12lbs, but have a ways(weighs?) to go :) I try and workout every day, it makes me feel better-the only thing I hate is I started to develop heel pain from jogging on my treadmill and have to use the elliptical and stationary bike to help heal my heel,also, I caught a cold and that put my workouts on hold for 2 weeks but now that I am better, its back ON!

Great news for my nephew Robbie,who was selected to go to Airborne school,he was 1 of 8 to be picked out of  a group of 300-we are super proud of our Bubbies,sadly with this we won't be seeing him again until April of next year!!                                         

Lastly the month ended with Halloween stuff,like getting to wear my many Halloween socks I've collected,a different pair for every day,haha, making crafts,our yearly pumpkin carving party, costume parties,especially getting to wear different costumes,I had 3 costumes this year, which was pure craziness but fun and Trick or Treating, which made me sad because my kids no longer want their mom tagging along :(  oh well I can start borrowing my grandbabies I guess :)
