Gentleman Post

I'm still looking for definitions or descriptions if you have one. Refer to this post.

I'm working on something for my cute little husband.

Stitches

Sometimes even when you are super careful things happen. Things that you don't want to happen happen. This thing I am talking about is stitches....our new little couch had an unfortunate little accident on the way downstairs. While turning the corner to go into the family room it rubbed the wall a little too hard causing it's fabric to rip. (gasp!) I know, it sounds awful. Luckily for our little couch we have a budding medical student in the house and he happened to have some sutures on hand. He got right to work and the little couch's tear was stitched up in a jiffy. 4 stitches to be exact. We were lucky that the couch needed no anesthetic as we don't have any on hand. Couch is now well on its way to a full recovery...well okay it will have the stitches forever but we will call that a full recovery here at this house.

Budding Medical Student

Almost finished - just a trim needed.

Define this: A Gentleman

I'm curious to see what this means to you. I've been trying to define this, looked it up on the web and found a few things that I would use to describe a gentleman, but I'm still looking for more. PLEASE comment with your definitions or examples.

Way to go Steffers!

I Voted today

I just had to post about voting today. I was pretty excited about it. Rocky and I hit the poles at 5:45 this morning to make sure that we wouldn't have to wait in a huge line. We were about 12th in line. I'm so glad we got there when we did. By the time they opened at 6:30 the line was LONG. I wonder what tomorrow morning will bring.

Sometimes being yourself is scary enough

First of all we want to thank our awesome friends here in Ohio who prevented us from being complete Halloween Humbugs. The Christensen's and Richard's had an awesome Halloween Party. We were treated with crispy claws, delicious chili and amazing "witch's brew" at the Christensens. We also carved pumpkins. We named ours Jaque the Evil Jack. He has his own theme song and everything. We then hit the Richards where our mouths were properly measured for the doughnut eating competition...with some very yummy homemade pumpkin doughnuts. I sadly did not win first place in the Woman's division. That title when to Candace, but Rocky did take first in the Mens. We are so happy to have such fun friends.

Apparently I had a hard time looking at the camera.

Jaque the Evil Jack is on the far right...yes, he has a flavor savor.

Go ROCK!

Crispy Claws...rawwrr

Our neighborhood celebrated Halloween on Thursday. I was so excited, our first real trick or treators in our new house. We had a huge bowl of candy, porch light on, pumpkins lit and then we waited.....nothing. We had a total of about 6 trick or treators. Our first and favorites were the Christensen's (thank you so much for coming!). They didn't take much candy and so we now have a HUGE bowl of candy, just in time for the nephews. :)

Our first Trick or Treators!

Hot Air balloons magically showed up in our neighborhood and their owners were giving out Candy. This could be why we didn't get many visitors. Next year I'm getting a hot air balloon in my yard.





All in all Rocky and I were Halloween bums. We didn't dress up, we didn't watch anything scary, we were just ourselves and as the title says...that is sometimes scary enough.
