I Ought to Write about Something.....

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's been a few days since I've updated. I've got some fun pics and stories to share from Sunday, but they require images from John's camera - so that post will have to wait.

In the meantime - more odds and ends-

- Yes, ESPN's College Game Day will be here in Eugene. When I saw the schedule, well over a year ago, and realized what an event Halloween against USC would be, I imagined the "potential big-ness", but never really believed it would come to fruition - wow, so exciting.

- In spite of that, I'm wondering whether or not I will make an actual "live" appearance to see Game Day in person. I had a dream that we got there and I fell asleep - it's weighing on me and I'm wondering, with such a BIG day (hosting an annual chili feed, night game) - if it wouldn't be prudent for me to just watch the event on tv while preparing food and the house for company around noon. Will it really make that big of a difference if I'm not shivering outside at 6am?

- John had a follow-up eye appt. on Monday. Things are healing up well. He'll be off drops on Friday and able to finally get that other contact in. Yeah.....

- Did anyone catch BIGGEST LOSER last night? - SPOILER ALERT -
Um, MAJOR tears.....
Talk about someone choosing to rise above circumstances that would devastate and cripple anyone - and her choice to make a difference in so many other people's lives.....

- Confession time - I've been pulling out random/abstract Christmas CD's. My usual rule-of-thumb is to not listen to Christmas music until after Halloween, but my justification is that these CD's are not ones I would ever listen to when I'm "unleashed" for all of the "good stuff". While some of you may scorn me, the teary-eyed smile I get in the car, with the ripple of seratonin running through my body at this wonderful music......I really can't apologize for jumping the gun.

- Our school has it's conferences Thursday and Friday - so today is the last day of school of the week for my kiddos. I think that calls for "sleeping in" tomorrow morning.....

- Tonight we carve pumpkins - stay tuned for pictures!!
