New Play Date

There will be an Open House this Wed. at The Basket Shop and The Carriage Barn in Gaylordsvill, CT. Please let me know if you plan to attend.

The countdown has begun. I have 3 classes let of each subject - I am close to the end that I can taste it.

We had a nice Thanksgiving Day - blessings to you all. Wayne and Matt had to leave about 5 PM for a soccer tournament in NJ. Now Brandi and I are watching Hairspray - very cute.

Tomorrow is Black Friday and I am going to try and be up for the mad dash.

Till next time....peace, Kathy

Survived Mid-terms

Well, I passed my two mid-terms with flying colors and I'm just so grateful that they are over. I got a 93 in Sociology and 100 in American Years of American Music - shocker for both. I also joined Phi Theta Kappa - after struggling so long I'm proud of myself - of course that and $1 will get me a cup of coffee. haha I've signed up for next semesters classes - 6 of them. I pray none of them get dropped because I need them all except the fun one that I am taking just to give me full time status. Yoga, Ballroom Dancing, Lit & Comp, Medical Terms, Basic Math (need a refresher course) and the fun one...Crime Scene Re-enactment!

The weather has cooled right down and all the leaves are off the trees - sad. It was pretty around here. Now I drive to class and it is already dark - so depressing. I'm getting ready to gear up for Christmas....yea.

Senior Night

This is me and Wayne at our son's Senior Night Soccer game - boy do I need make-up.

I've been tagged...

Ok...I've been tagged by my good friend Diane at http://thedianediaries.blogspot.com/. She has a awesome blog that I visit often. If you're a blogger, you know that other bloggers often tag you and give you awards. This tag is for a YOU MAKE ME SMILE AWARD. Now, I have to tell you seven things about myself and and then tag a few other bloggers with the award. (I don't know how to tag others...but I would if I could).

Seven things about myself:

1. I love cross-stitch, stamping and scrapbooking ~ just don't have time to do it.

2. I grew up in farm country and it helped me to become the person that I am. You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.

3. My favorite color is purple.

4. Before I die I want to go to: Ireland, Germany and England

5. I am going back to school and I love to learn (just wish I didn't have to work so much now).

6. I love watching women's soccer.

7. I am a secret lover of ladybugs, bees and elephants.

OK folks these are some of my pics that I made into cards...give me your honest opinion. I do not claim to be good - I was just inspired a couple of days and wanted to share.

Find A Cure

The month has almost gone by and I can't believe I haven't commented on breast cancer. This year Wayne's mother and aunt had breast cancer. His mother had one of her breast's removed but is doing good now. His aunt is fine and we all pray it will stay that way. If you haven't had your mamogram this year - I urge you to do so. It is not something to put off.

On the school front - it is mid-term now and I am going crazy. I had one test tonight, which I think I at least passed. I have a big paper due Monday for Sociology and I am 1/2 done. I have a paper due Thursday...guess what I'll be doing this week when I am not working.

Tomorrow a group of us from work are going to the corn maze. I've never been there before so I am excited. I know I should stay home and work on my papers but life is too short. Sat. I have to work at the Carriage Barn and then I'm going to the hospital benefit. If I can get my papers done I'll go to a Woman's Club meeting Sun. I haven't been one time this year...but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The leaves are beautiful here and the weather has cooled right down - perfect cuddling up with a good book in bed kind of weather.

Peace to you all...see you at the next blog.
