a place I have never been.

Whenever I have not blogged it has always been because I was depressed, in a really bad mood, or I get mean comments. Although I don't have the perfect life, I am really happy right now...and I don't feel like blogging. It is definitely uncharted territory.  The only time I can muster up a post is when I have agreed to it.  I feel like my blog is becoming one of those "giveaway/review blogs".  Uggh.

I will do better, maybe.  I have more to say than what I like and dislike about products...I promise.

I am knee deep in homemade decorations for Van's Halloween Birthday bash.  It has been so fun to use my creative side, and a really long time since I pulled out all the scrapbook supplies. Paul was even a little shocked.  I know the kids won't notice or care, but while Vin is having quiet time {which sometimes isn't so quiet}, I pull out all my fun projects and have "me time".

We went to Gardner Village today with the sole purpose of going on the "Ride to a Witch".  Of course, today was the only day it was not open.  After we put so much effort in to finding parking, we decided we were going to soak in all the festivies anyway.  We stopped at Sweet Aftons for some yummy goodness, enjoyed all the photo ops, and decided we would have to come back next week to experience the Ride to a Witch.

Our neighborhood has been working hard on building two new playground/parks.  Since we live so far away from everything it is definitely something that we are enjoying already.  Van has been teased at school for not being able to do the monkey bars...so we have spent our fair share of time practicing up.

Paul and I have found every excuse to make our way south to eat at Flour Girls & Dough Boys. Where they lack in customer service they make up for it in their Tuscan Sausage & White Bean soup, and those delicious Citrus Muffin Tops...great, I am craving it now.  AND speaking of food, Chili's really deserves a good customer service shout out!  They always give you a soda for free while you wait for your take-out...which I think is awesome.  Last week when Van and I went in on a cold, rainy day, we got hot chocolate for free.  Oh man, it hit the spot.  Kuddos to Chili's!

This turned in to a random post, but it's a post!  Be proud I actually collected some thoughts.  It might be a day, it might be a week, but I will be back.


Holla back, yo!
