It’s NaBloPoMo Month! Which I plan on doing again, only because I have um, kind of a ridiculous number of blogs now — uhh, this one, ingrids @ vox, moblog @ LJ, Local Baby one, and now, one at my own domain name (myname.com), um, yeah. That’s a lot. So I’m going to try to post once a day at one of those five blogs. (If you want the addy to any that you don’t have, let me know.)
Halloween was awesome — Ing went trick or treating for the first time, and dave had to miss it because of work BOOO, but, never again. We’ve agreed that 10/31 is way too important for us — as a couple, and as a family — to be apart for the sake of OT. OT is great, for sure, but not worth missing such a big holiday if we don’t have to.
Ingrid was a peacock, and my parents came up to help man the house and trick or treating, and it went great. My mom and I did the block with Ingrid, and met some neighbors we hadn’t yet, so that was cool. We (I, since I’m the neighbor) also wink, wink’ed with the neighbors with Obama signs, so that was nice. Ing kept her costume on until the last minute, greeting trick or treaters in it up til the end.
Today, my parents took us all out to breakfast, and we got a late start, so Ing missed swim, but oh well. Dave went to work at 10:25, straight from breakfast (before the rest of us had finished even, but he had to go) and he’ll be back tonight by 11. BIG OT weekend, on top of last week’s big OT, so it will be a really sweet paycheck on Friday. Anyway. After breakfast, Ing took a nap, and after that we went out for her to get a haircut. Then, we went to Target, where her cousin (who is 22) called because she was in town and wanted to see her. We spent quite a while at their house, and then went and got lobster at the grocery store. Maine’s lobster industry is struggling right now, so there’s a big push to buy it, and man, I’ll take one for the team. Okay, so technically, I took two for the team. But they were softshell, so not very meaty.
Ing is in bed now, and I’ve set up the woodstove with the fire screen and a bunch of candles (some that allegedly smell like a fireplace, but I’m not so sure) and I’ve got a glass of wine. And the Roku playing Airline. I love that show. Just wish Dave were here….
