Plumbing, Lost Kitten, & Things to be Excited About...

Derek's plumbing job is going pretty good. I'm sure it's something he doesn't want to do forever but for right now the money is nice!! Very nice!! The only thing that sucks is that he doesn't have a set start time everyday. They just call him about 5 minutes before they pick him up. Which sometimes is 8am, 9am, or 10am, whenever they get going?!?! Which also means he usually works later into the day. I think the latest he's worked so far is 6:30 or 7pm. But that messes up our supper and workout schedule. And they don't have an office, since it's a home based business, so there is no place to meet in the morning or to punch in. He just keeps track of his hours on a time sheet. Other than that it seems to be going good.

We found another stray kitten on Friday. She's blonde/tan and was very, very scraggly with cockleburrs all embedded in her furr. She was up on the 2nd floor balcony above our room. She isn't very old and is very lovey. Heather is gonna take her but needed to wait until this morning to take her home. She named her Pumpkin. Sorry April, "Libby" didn't stick. We gave her a bath, clipped her nails, cut off the cockleburrs, and gave her some drops for earmites. Shop Kitty hates her!! She's very jealous whenever we pet Pumpkin instead of her. She'd hiss at her everytime she'd get too close. I'll post my pics of her later.

April and Kevin were here this weekend and we got to hang out with them. We drank at the Paddle Wheel on Sat. and I immediately remembered why I don't like to go there! Stupid employees!! We got to see Aiden on Sunday and how adorable he is! I loved his "monster" impression he had to use on the kitties!

So if you haven't noticed, I've posted 3 things in the last hour or so...why you ask and why at such an on godly time?!! I'm working the overnight and what better way to spend my time then posting on my blog. I feel like I've been crazy busy lately but the truth is that I've been pretty busy doing very little. Besides lounging. I'm getting pretty good at that! ;-)

Things I'm not excited about...
-Having to work the next two weekends in a row.
-I started back on Phase 1 of our diet on Monday - 3 days down, 6 to go!
-Having to do laundry tomorrow
-Getting my wisdom teeth pulled on Nov. 21st!! YIKES!!
-I'm pretty sure winter is coming....hopefully we'll just have to deal with the cold and not the "S" word!!

Things I'm VERY excited about...
-Getting to go to sleep in 2-3 hours!
-Having paid off 5 bills completely by the end of next week!! Yah!!
-Decorating for Halloween!
-Farnum's 10th Birthday and the semi truck cake I get to make!
-Doug and Karissa's Halloween party!!!
-Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert in GF on 11/2
-Avenged Sevenfold/Buckcherry concert in Fargo on 11/9, going with Heather, Ali and her friend Robbie
-Flying from Minneapolis to Orlando with Heather and Derek...this is what I've spent the majority of my time on lately. Heather's car is still in FL since she took the bus home in June. It's broke down and needs to be fixed. So we are gonna fly there, fix it, and drive back. I really didn't want her going by herself so I said I'd go with her! Then Derek wasn't comfortable with 2 young girls driving cross country by themselves, so he's coming too! And we are so close to a few things, we're gonna have to make a mini vacation out of it...Florida coast, ocean, New Orleans, Derek's dad in Louisiana, and whatever else we come across.

All in all, I have a lot to look forward too and I'm very excited.
