well i've had the last 3 days off and only got one thing done i wanted to do. life is what happens when you make plans!!! i did how ever put up the tree no decorations yet but it's lite. i'm kind of  a grinch when it comes to christmas  we don't usually put up a tree. the holiday has become so money driven it does even have the meaning anymore that it should have. my nieces and nephews r so excited abt doing stuff w/ me making hand made ornaments and having a craft day taking pics to rmbr it. thet really want the memories and not a bunch of toys this yr. i think that's awesome most 8-12 yr olds don't feel this way. i challenge everyone to make memories this yr do handmade gifts from stuff u already have and don't fight the crowds.
hoping everyone is safe and happy!!!

working full time as a retail mgr takes up a lot of my time so i am so sorry i haven't been posting, but i did get away for the wkend and boy did we have fun!!! we went to cincy and over to newport on the levee. the other half and i along w/ paxton in toe took off and got out of dodge. paxton we found out is such a city boy!!! he really loved it, he walked up and down the streets struting his stuff like he owned the town. he wasn't afraid of any of the cars or fire trucks (sirens a blaze) wizzing by he just kept on walkin.
getting away and being in a dif. town makes u look @ where you live in a dif. light. i see things a little dif. now.  the area where we stayed was the business dist. there wasn't a lot of little shops up town but we walked around and got some really good pics.
i have started taking some interest in photography (as if i need another hobby) but i think i got a few good shots. the other half is way btr than i am @ taking pics.
i will try to post some pics ltr 2night.

i just love fall!!! the color of the leaves they are so awesome, the chill in the brisk air and the sky looking so eerie one minute the sun and the next dark clouds and rain. if onlyly it lasted longer than about 5-6 wks.  hope everyone is enjoying fall?! i know i am.
