Ramblings

The pumpkin contest at work doesn't end until the end of the week, but for those of you who are wondering which pumpkin is ours, it's:

The Fall Snowman. Ours and the Tin Man and the Dalmatian are my favorites!

It's hard to believe that it's the last week in October already. I'm excited for next weekend! I have our Halloween candy bought to pass out to our Trick or Treaters! I hope we get a lot. I have no clue how many kids are in the neighborhood, but I love Halloween! I'm proud of myself too. I put the candy in the closet and haven't let myself open it up. Of course I got candy in the mail from my grandma last week. Then my Secret Sister at work gave me this cute fall basket with my favorite candy corn and pumpkins, and my mom sent us a Halloween package in the mail today! I was pretty excited about that. I've been slacking on the working out and eating too much candy, so tonight after work I rode 11 miles on the bike!

Next week we begin a new month. November is National Blogging Month. How many of you can I count on to participate this year? I've done in the past couple of years but last year was the first year that I successfully blogged all 30 days of the month. I just went back and reread all of my posts from last November. Hopefully I can come up with enough to write about without boring you all to tears.

Things that I'm looking forward to in this coming month:

*Watching more football!
*Seeing Jacob's middle school put on "The Wizard of Oz"
*Wearing fuzzy socks and drinking hot chocolate.
*Thankgiving Feast at work.
*4 day weekend and Thanksgiving in Cedar Rapids (Hoping I can see some of my friends this time!)
*Coming home and decorating for Christmas after Thanksgiving (Please don't yell at me for mentioning Christmas. Afterall, it's the most wonderful time of the year)
*Busting out the Christmas tunes.

I believe this has been random enough.
