Well, this weekend was a very beautiful one with gorgeous weather. Saturday, got up raked leaves in our yard and my aunt's house next door. Altogether we bagged 8 bags of leaves. Then we took our turns in the shower to get ready for our family pics with a photographer. My cousin is a photographer and we were happy to help in helping her get her portfolio together by adding our pics to it.
We met up with her at a park over off Campbell in Richardson and it had a waterfall and beautiful Fall colors all around. We took several shots of me, Vica and Al. Maria, my cousin, took several of Vica on her own and I love the way they looked. It'll be about 2-3 weeks to get them but once I get them I'll post.
Sunday, washed clothes and clipped and organized my coupons for the week.

Election Day
Well, today everyone who votes will decide who our new Prez will be. I for one am registered to vote however, I don't plan to vote. I will however, be working the elections this evening.
Alot of my friends ask why I don't vote and to me it's very simple. I don't believe in anything either has to say or offer, therefore why vote for something you don't believe in.
Now I may push some buttons on this topic with anyone who reads my blog, but this is me talking and it's what I think and believe.
Why vote if you aren't in agreement with either party, just to say you voted. My friends tell me "you should be proud to be American, you get a chance to vote and let your voice be heard." well, yes i could but i have yet to hear a candiate where it makes me say or think 'I NEED TO VOTE FOR HIM'. If I don't vote then I don't have a reason to gripe when things get bad. Now whoever gets elected and should he make a difference in his coming four years and I feel he would be right for another four years then if he should be on the ballot again at the next election, given I still live, then I might vote.
The same thing with Church. I don't go to church. I believe in God and Lord Jesus Christ, I have faith, I pray, I partake of his body and blood everyday with every meal he provides me with. However, growing up going to church every week, the older I got the more I noticed that more than 50% of the church I was going to were hypocrites. You preach one thing but live another. Now, I'm not a perfect Christian, however, I don't pretend to be either. As I said before, I pray and I've been tested by my Lord, But I have also been rewarded.
To me Church is a building where people gather to "worship" the Lord, however, my house is my Church.
Happy Voting!

Halloween.....not the same =(
Well, I got to dress up again this year as always but this year was different. I got to hand out candy for the time in my life. I even bought Boots a little costume. I wore a black dress, black cape, 3-headed skull cane, with spider choker, some make-up and ready to go. Picture a little table with candy basket, pumpkin, small candle and a goblet with "blood" to drink.
Halloween is NOT the same as it was before. There was maybe 4 houses giving out candy on our block. When I was small, you could go to each and every house to collect candy and you would get bags full. Now it's like no one wants to give any candy out and I know some of them might be because of the weirdos out there but because of them the little ones have to pay. How sad.
Maybe next year I can get the whole neighborhood in on it. Here's to wishful thinking!

Trick or Treat!!
Well, All City tryouts were yesterday and sad to say, Vica didn't make it. But there is still 4 more years to come.
Went to Kroger last night found the no nonsense trouser socks on sale for .99 each and with my 1.00 off coupon, I got 10 pairs FREE!!!
Found the Cottenelle 4-pak on sale for 1.19 with my .25 coupon I got the 4-pk for just .47! I stocked up on this one, I think we have enough to last through all of winter.
Weekend is here yeahhhhh! It's Halloween and it's my very first year to hand out candy and I'm so excited. My daughter is going to her friends house this time and so I'll be home with Al and we are going to hand out candy and doing some scaring. hehe
On another note, I found out a couple of days ago that my good friend has her daughter in the hospital in ICU. Apparently, her heart started beating very fast and was taken to emergency, well they had to do surgery and put a catherer in her heart. She is in ICU at this time and there were other complications from the surgery. Anyone reading this blog, I ask that you please pray for my friend. She is only 25 and has two small children, ages 4 & 5. Thanks
