red sox won!!

so exciting...and i am very happy that i can now go to bed early tonight. i'm hoping to be asleep by 10pm.














since everyone else was posting their halloween costume pictures i figured i would put mine up...ryan and i were 70s people for halloween- well i was a red sox fan too. since we went to a sports bar and the red sox were playing.

pumpkin

i think i am going to win the pumpking contest at work...


and while ryans away...murphy has converted!!

survivor update

well dad escaped another week...that was the worst 'finding the idol' i have ever seen. i really am liking that todd though...i think he is very smart. and we had our first victim tonight- carrie has been knocked out of the contest.

busy bees

we have had a busy weekend so far...last night we went to applebees for dinner...then we caught up on our shows. this morning we woke up early and went to the gym for our orientation. they have the coolest thing i have ever seen in a gym. at all the treadmills and ellipticals they have a mini tv/dvr player. you can bring in movies and watch them! then the circuit machines have a little computer on them and you have a code number that you punch in and it tells you what the settings and weight should be and how many sets to do, etc. makes sure you are doing the reps slow enough. and then it keeps track of everything you do so at the end of a week or month you can see how much you did. amazing. makes me want to go to the gym.

then we went to the home show and got lots of cool free things, bought an american flag for our new houses flag pole. Got ryan an eagles hat. then we went to the king of prussia mall and ate dinner at the cheesecake factory. so yummy. now we are settling in for beers and a red sox win. tomorrow we are going to the lake with murphy, our only friend. I think i am going to go to a craft show too while ryan watches football. looks like they have some pottery classes nearby that i might check out.

oh when we were leaving the mall i saw a melting pot resturant, so i cant wait to hear if its good from the boston girls and i am going to make ryan go.

painting

I finished my painting last night of our house in portville. i took some pictures and should be able to get them online tonight. i also went and bought a new canvas for my next painting. i think i am going to paint one of ryan and i. i figure we have all our puppies so that is logical. not sure when i am going to start it though. i have to find the perfect picture.



ryan and i went to the gym this week for our health screening apt. yeah i love it when you are told you are in the 'obese' weight range...i think i need to get serious about diet and exercise. maybe the most frustrating is ryan who eats 3 times as much as me is only 2% over his ideal body fat percentage...and everything else is in the excellent range. ugh.. hopefully it will be the motivation i need.

Woke up this morning to find the red sox had won!! i had to go to bed at 11 and they were up 4-1 so i thought it was safe to go to bed. i was nervous this morning though waiting on sportscenter for the MLB scores to start streaming.

Very disappointed in survivor last night, they are so dumb to try and vote off james...my favorite part was though when the one team thought they were just going to be given 2 players from the other tribe, never thinking that they would also have to give up two players. i was amazed by how dumb they are.

fayetteville bound

i thought once we moved that the travelling would end...but it seems like we are always packing or unpacking. we are going to a fake purse party and apple picking and we are going to watch the red sox game. its a jam packed weekend. oh and i forgot that we need to go to ll bean factory store. we are almost all packed up for the weekend. Once we get our house though we will not be leaving until thanksgiving- so everyone is going to have to visit us.

Ryan and i joined the gym this week, i get a free membership from the place i work. they are so far a wonderful company. we have all sorts of contests and they are all cash prizes. there is a world series pool right now...and a halloween decorating contest. so fun.

link

i found the best website for all the frugal blog readers... becky you should check it out and maybe learn a few things


thesimpledollar.com

i'm going to add it to my links too.

portville bound

well tonight we are headed back to portville to visit and to get some things we forgot at the house...and buy a cinnamon broom (anna if you could let me know where you got one).

today we are going to have our new house inspected. this is the only part of the house buying that would stop us. so hopefully there are no major problems with the house.

survivor was on last night and i was shocked they voted off leslie and not the girl who couldnt even lift the sword, did anyone else notice that they did freeze frames of everyone chopping the final rope but with courtney she was moving soo slow that they didnt even have to freeze frame it...oh and the yankees lost not a good night for ryan.

red sox game

watching the red sox game...i think i'm going to paint tonight too.

we got the house! we have the inspection on friday and then i'm not sure what else needs to be done before we close. we've been looking into costs of having a fence put in. i think its going to be costly. we are going to be very tight on money once we buy this house and not having sold our other house.

tomorrow i am heading to baltimore again for work. it will kind of suck driving 5 hours total- but shouldn't be too bad.
