That's how long trick-or-treat is here tomorrow. When I was a kid, trick-or-treat lasted about an hour and a half. Heck, in the town I grew up in, you'd cover it about four times in four hours. I think it's just a plot for greedy kids to get more candy.

We had our last quote tonight for replacing the furnace. So now, all we have to do is sit down and figure out which place has the best deal. (We have started running our old furnace while we're home and awake, just because it was getting ridiculously

It's halftime, and the Ohio State and Penn State defenses have been slugging it out for the first two quarters. Penn State scored first (field goal), and OSU answered in the few seconds before halftime. I hate close games... too much stress! In other

Don't get me wrong, I really like the friends I've made here in Wisconsin. Most of them are from our small group at church. There are eight other couples in our group, and it's been great having people our age to hang out with (especially since we left

OK, there really are no penguins at my house. But it feels like it's cold enough where they'd be more than comfy if they did decide to drop by. So, we had our furnace inspected last Friday, and the guy informed us that we have a cracked heat exchanger

I have so much to do tonight, and I have no motivation. I need to clean the bathroom, make a lasagna, make an apple crisp and possibly a chocolate pie, straighten the living room and kitchen and run the sweeper. I normally wouldn't be nearly so ambitious

Last night's game was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. And I have to admit, I was very skeptical about the Browns' chances. (We were playing the Giants. The Super Bowl champs. The team that had been on a winning streak since the playoffs last year. The same guys who creamed

And boy, do we have apples here! We went picking this morning and came home with 105 pounds of apples. I'm excited, because it only cost us $53 for all of them - it'd be two to three times that much if I'd gotten them from the store. So now, I'm in the

We have the nicest neighbors. They have an awesome garden, and are always sharing fresh, tasty treats. The latest gift? A butternut squash and a giant cabbage. Actually, this one's about twice as big as my head. (I'm pretty sure that if it fell off the

I'm trying to upload some of our vacation pictures to facebook, and I keep getting an "upload failed; try again" message. How frustrating! I was hoping to get them loaded on tonight, since some of my friends have been asking to see them... oh well. Vacation
