Last Friday I stopped at TGIF Fridays for a drink after work and met the nicest couple at the bar. We decided to share a booth and sat and talked and drank for at least two hours. I know one thing for sure, that I was getting a bit tipsy towards the end. Anyway, turns out they know many of the same crowd that I do. They are a very open and honestly pleasant couple and we hit it off rather well. They invited me to come to a party they were planning, still a month or so off, and that they had intended to invite many of the same friends we share as well. Of course I accepted, being a bit of a party girl myself still.

The kicker of it is that they are having the party out on a lake on their houseboat! Can you believe it? I can’t wait to go, I have always wanted to go on a houseboat. I remember as a little girl I used to fantasize about living on one, sort of like in the movies as in the old black and white, made for TV movie, about “Tammy and the Professor”. It should be fun, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

We looked into internet providers Middleville and decided to finally get satellite internet. I love that I can do so much on the internet. I knew about internet shopping, but didn’t realize how much you could really buy off of the internet. I started ordering all of our bathroom tissue, paper towels, and non-perishable food items from Amazon.com. They have really great deals and if you order a certain amount of money worth, you can get free shipping. It really gives me a lot more time because I am not running back and forth into town. Lastly, I have been able to order specialty groceries that I cannot get in town off of the internet. I am of Lebonese descent and love to cook the traditional food. My favorite snack is stuffed grape leaves. Now I order the grape leaves and make them all the time. I am really glad that we decided to get satellite internet. My husband is glad too, because he loves all the wonderful dishes that I have been cooking because I can order the ingredients off the internet.

I’m glad that Halloween is on a Sunday this year. It makes it so much easier when it falls on a weekend, don’t you think so? My kids are getting a bit old for trick or treating but they are still wanting to wear a costume and attend the parties that are held at school and church.

I’ll be staying home handing out candy to the neighborhood kids that come up each year. Hope it is nice weather for them, it usually isn’t raining, but it can get chilly when the sun goes down and all the ghosts and goblins come out!

More and more people are drinking bottled water, which is a good thing. The bad thing is that more and more people are just tossing the empty bottles into the trash or worse yet, littering our Mother Earth with the empties. It doesn’t take much effort to put the empties into a recycling bin people!

For some time now you can get a large sweet iced tea at McDonald’s for only $1 and have as many refills as you like as well, now you know that you just can’t beat that with a stick. My daughter unfortunately hates anything that comes from McDonald’s and insists on eating only at Burger King, where they charge quite a bit more for their large sweet tea. So I was so very happy to find that when driving by our local Burger King that they are advertising that you can now buy their large sweet tea for only $1. Kudos to Burger King for finally seeing the light!
