Hello darkness, my old friend...
Ugh, I'm having one of those nights when I can't make my brain shut down. I'm feeling rushed with everything I need to do before I leave on my work trip on Sunday, since I won't get home til the following Saturday night and I'm having a Halloween party on that Sunday. So I'm lying in bed wondering about things like, if I took the bags with me to Mexico, maybe I could make those cool tea light bag things I saw in Better Homes and Gardens? And how much do cupcake cakes cost? And I need to invite a few more people that I missed out on (if you are in ATL and want to come, let me know!)... and the list goes on. Plus I need to re-seed my lawn this weekend, and redo the caulking in my bathroom for the tub and sink, and put the filters in my A/C vents. And and and... *hyperventilates*
So yeah, I'm putting writing and reading and practicing my drums on hold - I can take all that with me on my work trip - and focusing on the house.
On the bright side, I got a lot done today - 3 hours of lawn work! I had today off from work; they give us flex holidays, so we can choose when to take them. I took today off in celebration of Random Thursday. I hauled the rest of the debris from taking my shed down to the curb, and picked up the loose branches out of the back yard, and then bagged up 6 bags of pine straw (I think that's what the needles are called when they dry out) and pine cones! If anyone ever needs that stuff, I have a factory. Note to anyone doing any landscaping ever: do not plant pine trees! They are messy and they kill your grass, and there's a special season where you have to take great care walking from your car to your house so as not to be boinked on the head by a pine cone missile.
Then I cleaned up my rec room (this is what I am officially calling my 'garage'/craft room/game&DVD storage/workout room) for the party - I bought all my lawn care stuff at Lowe's last weekend and I'd just thrown it all in there, so now it's either put away, or tucked into the office until after the party. And I got my duvet cover that I washed this week put back on the bed. So I have accomplished quite a bit today!

I'm sure your Halloween party will be a huge success. I wish I was able to join in on all the fun. Make sure to take lots of pictures.
