HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

That being said. I don't like halloween at all. I haven't since I was a going to elementary school parties. I love seeing little kids in costumes and the fact that they are able to eat all the candy they want (as long as their mom's don't eat it first!!! :) But besides that the only reason I look forward to halloween is that the next day november starts and that means thanksgiving, christmas, and new years. He here's to then end of october and the beginning of a new season! Have an ORANGE day!

time

well i hope everyone enjoyed the extra hour of sleep on sunday morning. i know i did. but where is all the time and why does it seem to crawl when we are at work, or in class, or anywhere we'd rather be somewhere else? And when you have an extra hour or 10 minutes, or you're fighting sleep trying to finish that paper, why does time seem to fly by without a care? Last night I was finishing my paper and i'd look up at the clock and it would suddenly be a half hour or hour later as if by magic? i wish i knew the answers, i wish i knew the key to slowing down time when you need more of it, and i wish i knew how to speed up time when it seems to painfully creep along. i hope that everyone has enough time in their days and that it passes with the speed that you need it to. have a good monday. monday's are a clean slate, you get to start all over this week with new goals, and more importantly a better attitude than you had last week. I will leave you with two quotes:

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save. (will rogers)

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

update

This update is for my mother. The tigers did lose the world series.
game 3 was: cardinals 5 tigers 0
game 4 was: cardinals 5 tigers 4
Game 5 was the deal breaker. The tigers had an awesome season and we still love them. Next year!
Other than that, Jason and I are doing good. My mom sent jason and i glow in the dark pumpkin pez dispensers. I am still knitting. 1st sememster will be over in about 9 weeks. (WHOO HOO!) I am so excited to have a little time off from school. Hopefully when I schedule my classes for next semester i won't have to go every day. So....anyway, not much else to tell. I hope everyone has a spooky halloween! Don't eat too much candy.

tigers update

game 1: cardinals 7 tigers 2
game 2: tigers 3 cardinals 1

crashing boys weekend

i don't think i'm supposed to be telling anyone about this....but i was allowed (with only a little harrasment!) to crash boys weekend at uncle gene's property. i drove down saturday after work and was able to see the boys in jason's family. they only let me come because i have been a little family deprived. it was nice to be some where other than my apartment too. the boys built a huge fire and the pictures below are some i took of the sparks flying up. thanks for having me guys. (i promise it won't happen again!!)

p.s. i had to scrape my windows after work today.

good evening (technically it is really really early in the morning) from the land of the wet. it has been wet all day long. and it's not even really raining. not much else is going on here. jason is finishing up his film presentation. he is so smart and creative and driven. good qualities to have as a graduate student. he is going to uncle gene's property in manistique this weekend. it's for boys only, although i would love to be there, it's so beautiful there. I might go down to watch the tigers game on saturday night. it's so fun only being about a hour and 15 minutes away instead of 6. I am working thurs, fri, sat and sun, but after this weekend i will be on my new and regular schedule which is sat, sun and monday night. just in case anyone is wondering we are coming home for thanksgiving. i'm not sure how long we will be home though. i asked for the weekend off and right now someone is covering sunday but not saturday. but we will be home and i couldn't be more excited. i really wasn't looking forward to cooking a big turkey and all the fixings. well have a good wednesday. sweet dreams-stacey
