We have been doing a bit of cleaning in a big way this weekend. Culling out a lot of things and taking them to Goodwill. Will continue to work on this sort of thing for the next couple weeks or so.

Saw the movie "Australia" on Friday. It wasn't too bad, I have seen worse moives. The scenery was wonderful.

Have been having headaches more frequently lately. Think because of the turbulent weather is a huge factor.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we will just do our normal stuff sans a turkey. Mom has Friday off, not sure what we will be doing.

Got the trash and recycling out. The recycling was picked up this morning, but the trash has yet to be picked up.

For a moment yesterday I thought I was coming down with something. But other then a headache today, I dont feel too bad.

Will probably buy something from Nature's Jewelry for Mom. Have never had this much trouble deciding what to get for her since forever.

The chiefs will more then likely find a way to lose today. As they always do.

Mom is taking another day off. Will get a load of her laundry done this afternoon and maybe do a little cleaning.

Have almost all the things we will need for Thanksgiving. Only a few more items and we will be all set. Will not be doing any baking of bread this year. And I agree with Mom that she doesn't need to do it every flipping year. She deserves to enjoy her time off. Will probably see a movie that weekend, while other people are out shopping.

Mom has her shopping for me done. I have no idea what to get her.

Managed to get a little cleaning and two loads of laundry this week. Got a little bit of rain earlier in the week.

Will do some chores tomorrow. After which we have a couple errands to do.

Didn't do much yesterday. Mom was tired and slept much of the day. We did get a new coffee pot, a small one but since it was so cheap we decided not to return it. Will need to get a larger one though. Got new cell phones, too. Nice flip phones, might donate our old ones.

Need to get some cleaning and laundry done this week.

The roller coaster weather continues. I will be happy if my head doesn't explode from the varying temperature changes.

Forgot to mention that it was rather foggy Saturday. It was so thick you couldn't see more then maybe a quarter mile in front of you. By mid-morning it had burned off though. I got some nice photos of it.

Have put trying to see a movie any movie on hold for the time being. Seems out luck has held too well, we usually miss the start time by a few minutes and I dont like people who come into a movie late and dont want to be one of those people.

Well we have history. America has spoken and has the first black president in its history. I guess it was worth the nearly hour long wait yesterday. Yesterday was the sixth time I have voted in a presidential race.

We got no kids on Halloween. None, not one single kid. There were no kids out walking. This is the first time I think something like this has happened. It was so strange, it was very quiet on the street and in the neighborhood.

Yesterday we had the car worked on. Oil change and the rear brakes worked on. Then we did a little shopping and had some lunch. We thought about going to a movie, but the times didn't work out. Dont know if were going to end up seeing that movie anyway.

Mom has Monday off, so tomorrow she is going to do some culling out of her clothes and Monday we will do some chores.

Today is Halloween. Halloween is my second favorite holiday, right behind Christmas. Got a couple bags of candy at the store last. Wonder how many kids we will get tonight.

Got my Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th anniversary set in limited edition tin with lobby cards and a Crow figurine in the mail yesterday. Already watched "First Spaceship On Venus", will watch the other three movies this week.

Saw the movie "Body Of Lies" this afternoon and it was pretty good. We haven't gone to many movies this year, and this seems to be a new trend. So many times we have been come out of movies wondering what the hell we were thinking. So we have been more selective about what and when we go.

Did a bit of shopping before we went. Got some straw for the doors, a new cosmetic bag for Moms new purse and a few other things.

Rented the movie "The Love Guru" last week and it was awful. Sped through 90% of it, because it was that bad.

The fall colors still seem to be a bit delayed. The past few years the leaves have been staying on the trees longer and longer. The trees leaf out late and drop the leaves later and later it seems each year. Some might blame it on the global warming myth, but I am hesitant to do so.

Might go to a movie this weekend. We have found the theater out at the Village West is a wonderful theater.

Managed to do a load of laundry today will do another on Friday and the Mom's on Sunday.

We managed to get a few things taken care of yesterday. Two pieces of furniture that have been downstairs forever we demolished and are going to over the next couple weeks or so set out for trash. A sofa that had been downstairs for awhile was also taken care of. Since it was warm enough for me to have the garage door open, I took the opportunity to mop in the basement. I still need to mop in the garage and a couple other spots downstairs, but that will have to wait.

Dont think we are going to do much this weekend. Have a few things planned but how much we will actually get done is up in the air.

We got over five inches of rain this week. Couldn't do much laundry with thay much rain, but I will one way or another do some soon.

Got a bit of rain this morning and couldn't do laundry. Hate going to the laundromat, but if I cant get caught up we may have to go.

Haven't been feeling well lately. With all of the roller coaster weather we have had, I am not surprised that I am having headaches.

Had a little bit of rain this week. The weather has been all over the map lately. Hot, cold, warm then cool. Guess Mother Nature is just letting us know who's boss.

Am still enjoying my iPod. Some of the free songs on iTunes aren't very good, but others are really good. In fact a song by The Republic Tigers is now one of my favorite songs. Have been really getting into the whole podcast thing too. Have several on my list. Have tried a few others with limited success though.

Getting so sick of all the political stuff on tv. Wish the Presidential race was much shorter. Like six weeks. Think there are some countries where they dont have as long of a race as we do. And it must be nice.

Had a headache over the weekend. We managed to do a few things, despite both of us feeling bad.

The leaves haven't yet really begin to change color yet. But when they do I am going to get a few pictures of the wonderful fall colors.

Well I am now forty. Feels fine so far, but this is just the beginning. Went out to dinner last night and had a decent meal. Mom's meal wasn't as good as mine and I wish she had said something.

Now that we are in October I can decorate for Halloween.

Said to note that Paul Newman passed away. I have at least one movie he is in and I have seen a few others. Great actor, cant say I am a fan, but I admit he great actor.

Today is my last day in my thirties. It wasn't until this weekend when I really thought about that slap in the face. I hope to do better in my forties then I did in my thirties, but I don't have much hope. I am laughing as I right this, honest!

Sunday mom and I saw a movie. "Ghost Town" was really good and had a few laughs. Was good to get out of our rut and see a movie on a Sunday.

Got a little bit of rain this morning. This week will be a bit more like fall. Cooler and maybe a chance or two for rain.

Will tomorrow being my birthday and all, I have a couple ideas for what I am going to do in the afternoon. Yes the dishes and cat boxes will be taken care of, but that will be the only cleaning I plan on doing. Wednesday or Thursday I might some laundry. In the afternoon I will watch a movie and take it easy. Might spend a little more time online in the morning then I usually do so I can forgo the afternoon session. Dinner will be out and I am not sure what place to eat at and if I want a drink or not. Will think about that tomorrow.
