Another Day In The Life...

I'm just still really...harried--busy, rushed, whatever-- between dealing with panicky parents freaking out over Halloween costumes, the countdown to the presidential elections, and life in general of course--rarely a dull moment.

I'd really like to travel to a swing state for a couple days as has been requested of me--but I just can't see how to pull that off, so I think I'll be doing some phone banking--badgering reminding people to vote--and perhaps I'll travel to the great state of Wisconsin on Election Day.

The Halloween costume business is one that I cannot get out of quickly enough. When I agreed to post the what turned out to be thirty or so costumes on eBay, I was thinking mostly of making some extra $ for the soon due "instalment" on my youngest's Hawaii trip next July, but this has taken so much time and has just stressed me out to the max--plus reinforced my belief in the general idiocy of the population at large.
Customer service was never my strong suit.

I filed my Disability forms. They took hours to finish b/cuz I worked for a bit after the original diagnosis, so that required reams of info, though I never made more than a couple thou in a year.
Meh.

It's more candy shilling (after swimming) tomorrow--the last of it. Weather is supposed to cooperate-- a bit more sun would be nice--but in the 60's--good for here for October's end.

Sunday, Chris and I are planning a trip to the pumpkin farm. It was a yearly thing since he was a toddler, then something came up last year, and we skipped it. I really like (and so does Chris--spouse has to work) picking mini-pumpkins and other gourds out, drinking warm apple cider, and visiting the not-scary-but-fun-anyway haunted house out on the farm. There are pig-races and a giant corn maze (or is that maize?) and (trucked-in) farm and wild animals. I've never really cared for the animals in pens part, but Chris has done the camel and pony rides and fed pigs, cows, and an antelope, I think. I'm figuring no animals this year, but some of the other stuff will be fun.

So that's about it.
Everyone sounds like they are leading interesting/busy lives...

Hope y'all have a GREAT weekend!

Peace and good karma,

cyn,

well, i have basically changed the color scheme at this point. i thought of the new templates, but the limits on ordering items bugged me, so i didn't go that direction. we'll see how this settles out in time. nice photos by the way!

Hey Sean,

Thanks for the compliment.
Typepad's new templates are fine--I hope they release more with more variety--but prehaps I'd need to upgrade to Premium to get that. ;)

I may have to upgrade to pay for extra bandwidth as the new format has made it so easy for folks to click on previous posts--I'm exceeding my alloted bandwidth and I've gone over the storage maximum, too.

So what kind of changes were you thinking of for your blog?
