Blogcation

Instead of going into early, and ineffective blogging retirement, this time I'm announcing a blogcation. There's OODLES to Dish about (um... Letterman being a smarmy cheater, Jim & Pam's wedding tonight, etc.), but I need to take October off.

October is my FAVORITE month for many reasons. But this year, it's racing by me. We are replacing our roof which was supposed to happen this week, but it looks like it will be next.

We are going on a 10-day So Cal vacation (all you wanting to break into my house, be forewarned -- my tough neighbor, Jamie, is keeping an eye out!). We're SO excited for this trip. We haven't been on vacation since last October, so we're really ready to go. We will spend the bulk of it with John's siblings, their spouses and the nieces and nephews doing Sea World, Disneyland, the Beach, etc. For the last couple days of the trip, we'll be staying with my birth mom, Margaret, and her boyfriend, Billy. This is ALL Katie can take about right now. She definitely has her mom's obsessive genes.

I've got to get ALL my November issue work done before October 15th, because we come home the day before we go to press!

I'm also prepping my first Stake Cultural Arts event that will be held on November 6th.

When we get back from our trip, we host a big family Halloween party, so I'm trying to get everything ready now and the yard cleaned.

And, our anniversary is on October 28th. 11 years!!!

So, that's more info than you need to know, but needless to say, blogcation, here I come! I'll be back in November. Happy Haunting!
