Grandma Polly

Our hearts are a little heavier today.





Grandma Polly passed away this morning. I only got to share 8 years with her but she was such a peach. She always remembered my name (which I thought was amazing considering all the kids and grandkids and great grandkids she had and I was the newbie who was only able to visit a few times a year.) She was a remarkable lady and she is terribly missed already.

The world is a little sadder today.

Changes

So my lack of real updates is apparent. But the truth is, things around here have changed. Some know and some don't but I received a promotion at work. And I'm loving it. I'm so much busier (I just caught up on B's blog for the first time in almost 3 weeks! gah!) and I have a new level of responsibility I never thought I would see. I am working solid throughout the day and I don't mind staying a bit later. Because I'm actually being productive. It's quite nice. P has been traveling for work and there were changes at his company as well. Minimally effecting (affecting?) him so nothing to report there. We are a week away from Halloween and we only have about 30% of the candy we need. Cross your fingers for us that Hershey does their 4 for $1 promotion next week else we are screwed.

This weather is crazy. We went from 40 and freezing over the weekend to 70 and sunny 2 days ago to the rain showers from hell today. Seriously, Ohio has a giant green blob hanging over it today according to the weatherman. Lets just hope the blob dissappears by tomorrow for the game!

Happy Friday ya'll!

We love visitors!

We had visitors this weekend! It ended up being quite cold and not so Autumn-y but we still had a great time. A little outlet mall shopping, a little ice cream, a little pizza, and a whole lot of THOMAS!!!! and EGGS!!! and SNEETCHES!!!!

We love it when we have visitors.

Chloe is slowly warming up to the idea. Never thought we would see the day when this would happen:

Mini Me

Yep. 2 peas in a pod. Oh how Uncle P loves his nephew!

Cutest Buckeyes on the block!

Future lineman :)


Future Cheerleader :)

Can't help but have fun with these guys around!

2 Years

On this day 2 years ago, I married my best friend.

Motivation- or lack thereof

Here I sit on this lovely crisp fall day. Inside. Lacking little to no motivation to tackle the things ahead of me today. P is currently en route to Myrtle Beach for work stuff and I've got the week to myself. I have big plans. Well, big plans that include my weekly knit night, laundry, trying to organize my craft room, clean up the house, and relax. That is if I could pull myself from the comfort of my couch and the Harry Potter marathon on Family Channel right now. Where did my motivation go? Honestly I need to find it. I don't want to sit here. But it just takes too much effort right now to get up. Well, unless I want that bag of Doritos. ha.

Things I would like to do today: (More likely, things I would like to do throughout the week)
Go to Lambikins, just for fun. I love that shop. It's the best.
Unload the dishwasher
Wash my new clothes that I bought over the weekend
Take my new work pants to get hemmed
Paint the guest bathroom
The craft room. Seriously- it needs help.
Sit on my porch with a blanket and read my book
Dust and vacuum
Find the perfect green paint. The Glidden Spring Green- Cute but just a leetle too bright I think!

And the list goes on... Anyone have the secret motivational tool? Let me know because I've lost mine.

Go Bucks!

It was a gorgeous day for tailgating. too bad it didn't turn out the way we had wished.

Twelve Twelve Tweeeeelve!


Myles Kix! First tailgate and the newest Buckeye added to our clan :)
