But, I do have a good handle on my Christmas shopping.  It is at least 80% done!  Woohoo!

Did you know that PETA kills animals?  That's right, they don't practice what they preach at all.  Boycott stores and companies that support them. E.L.F. is one of them.

It's been a rainy week and a rainy start to the weekend...uggg.  When the rain moves out we have a cold front.  Temps will drip into the 50's....

Looks like Fall won't be here much longer and a chilly winter to come....brrrr.

Can you believe it is October already? Almost time for the ghosts and goblins....

Happy weekend everyone!  I hope you all have a fun weekend.  I'm looking forward to LSU football today :)  Geaux Tigers!

Autumn is almost here (probably already where you are)!!  Anxiously awaiting cooler temps here!

Happy Weekend everyone!  Mine starts on Friday--I have the day off to chauffer my dad to dialysis.  I get to go shopping while he is on the machine, so a good way to spend a few hours to wind down the week!

Tc, everybody!
