I wonder how many people I’m going to be seeing around town dressed up in costumes today! I saw quite a few of them yesterday! I guess they decided to dress up for work and don’t work on weekends! I’m always amused on Halloween to see how many people actually DO put on costumes and go to work!
We’ve bought a couple of bags of Snickers fun size bars to pass out in case we get any trick or treaters tonight. I know that we probably should have bought something that is peanut – free, but that is our own personal favorites, and we usually don’t get ANY trick or treaters, so why should be buy something we don’t like ourselves? We’ll probably be the ones eating it! Whatever you do, I hope you have fun and stay safe!
I thought the number of phone calls I got during the presidential election were bad! I’ve been getting several phone calls every day from the organizations behind the different gubernatorial candidates! It is very aggravating! The phone rings, I answer it. There is a long pause at the other end and then a recording starts off about the upcoming gubernatorial election. I immediately hang up. I already know who I am going to vote for, and these calls are not going to change my mind. I just wish the calls would stop!
My sister Julie tells me that she wants to take advantage of the Accor Hotels 3-Day Super Sale Asia Pacific to take a vacation to Japan. She’s always been fascinated by Japan, and all things Japanese. Her entire house is decorated with Japanese motif, and her gardens are done in the Japanese style. She has even taken Japanese language classes!
So when she found out that she could get a bargain on hotel rooms because of this super sale she jumped right on it. She asked me if I wanted to join her, but I can’t get away from work on such short notice. So she is going to go with our other sister Sherri.
I’m glad that she has the chance to go and fulfill a travel dream of hers. And I’m glad that Sherri is going to go with her. I get nervous just thinking about one of my sisters traveling to a foreign country alone!
So for now I’m busy trying to help them find a good deal on plane tickets to get them to Japan for their vacation. After all, what good is a bargain hotel room if you can’t get a decent air fare? I have to admit that her excitement is contagious; I’m a little bit jealous that I can’t go with them!
When I was younger my father took the whole family to a local rodeo one hot summer’s afternoon. I’ve always been fascinated with everything rodeo – from the trick riding to the roping to the bronc-busting and bull riding! I loved watching the rodeo clowns do their work, too. Those rodeo clowns work hard to help make sure that everyone is as safe as possible – and they are grossly under-appreciated (in my opinion, anyway!)
I’ve never tried my hand at roping anything, although I’ve always thought it would be really great to learn how to rope. I just never even knew of a place to go to learn how to rope! My own attempts to self-teach were totally laughable! Phil called me the other day and told me that he was given four Houston Rodeo concert tickets and asked us if we’d like to join him and Angela on a short little vacation trip to the rodeo! I sure would love to go, but we need to find out if we can get the time off of work before we say yes. It sure sounds like a wonderful trip!
Knowing how much my wife loves horses, I would be really surprised if she said she didn’t want to go. I hope she can get the time off from work!
My brother has been telling me that he wants to open a catering business in his town. He thinks that there is a strong market for it because there are a lot of “high end” businesses that he thinks that will use his services. So he’s been looking at ways to advertise his new business and was thinking about using the justclicklocal.com website. So I went to the website to check it out for myself. I saw that the website can be used to find just about any kind of product or service anywhere in the country. For example, I can find a dog walker in Miami FL, a dentist in Pittsburg PA or an auto mechanic in Charlotte, NC just by typing in the keywords and location!
So, just to try it out, and to help him out I was looking around the site some more and found that he could list his business for free! I thought it seemed easy enough to do. So I recommend that you give it a try yourself if you are looking for a local business, or want to advertise your own – give this site a chance!
