November hath cometh!!!

Hello yall. My birthday last week went well. Actually it was pretty much a normal day. The fam bought me some things I didnt ask for (I'm not ungrateful, just puzzled) The reason I make a specific list is because in the past my family have typically bought me dollar store gifts because "I'm so hard to buy for". Logical answer was to make up a detailed list with items ranging in price from lowest to "dream on". Hehe. I ended up having to buy myself some lovely items off of that list the day after the occasion. Oh well.

It seems that autumn is truly a time for change. On Friday I was shopping without children (gasp!) and stopped in at a hair salon. Yep. I cut it all off. Really. All of it. It was a shock to my system and I was so scared that I would regret it but actually, I love it. I'll take some pictures when I get a chance.

Yesterday we drove up to Kings Dominion for the last night of their Hallo-scream. We didnt get there until lunchtime because I knew we wouldnt last the entire day and the night if we went early. After riding 3 coasters I was done......the last one was a neck-breaker and I am still paying for it today. I have no padding around my shoulders or neck and all that bouncing and spinning just tears me up. My collarbones are dark blue. Ick. Anyway, Joe and Syd rode the rest of the day while Avery and I walked around and shopped. I found a Starbucks (YAY!) and so I was happy. Around 6pm they started up the halloween stuff. Syd wouldnt go on anything, terrified that someone was going to grab her. We stayed until 10 and it got so cold that I said "Enough!" Got home close to midnight and my god was I whipped.

Anyway, thats it for now. My surgery is this Wed. so I'll post when I get home. Tata.
