October Madness
What's the deal with October? Apparently I have become a 'winner'. Feels more like a wiener... Let me explain:
My yard has been chosen one of the 'Yard of the Month' winners. I have wanted this little neighborhood award for a while so why am I not so excited? Because I am not sure when the judging was. My yard was a crazy beautiful mess a month ago, and each week I have been yanking out more and more plants in preparation for winter. Just to make the space look not so dead I added a few mums and decorations:
Pretty stuff, but also pretty boring if you ask me. So I won when my garden was big and wild or did I win once I 'conformed' to the military neat and orderly? I just don't know. However, a win is a win, and I will gladly accept my winning gift card!
Another win this month was my very first running award. First place female! However, it was a 'beer run' where the other competitors and I had to drink a beer each mile for a total of 3 miles. Did I win because of my new found speed or from other people's lack of drinking abilities? Again, I am still very happy with my win, and there is no way you can take my very first winning trophy away from me!
And the last 'win'? Costume contest with the beer run. That one I am proud of. It was a hot day, and I ran my heart out in that sweaty costume.
So, all in all I am happy to be achieving a few things, and I am just going to work harder to get 'real' wins in the future.

10 year
How many of you have or would go to your 10 year high school reunion? Mine is this weekend, and if I were still in Hanford I would go, however logistically, it's just not gonna happen this time. Sounds like fun, it's going to be at the 'Palace', so even if it turns out to be lame, you can always just hit up the casino. I can't wait to see photo's, and to find out what's new. Luckily for our generation, FB keeps me in touch with most of my old friends. It also sucks up a lot of my time, but that's another post.

Best Birthday (Cake) Ever!
Happy #4 Dear Sweet Lily!
I promised her whatever cake that she wanted... and while it was no owl cupcake, I feel that it is pretty nifty. Wait, wait, wait.... before you start thinking that I've gone all crazy and domestic, let me just clarify that this is a store-bought cake.
