Happy Halloween !

Yesterday at the firehouse across the street they had a Halloween Party for kids from 11-3 with hay rides, fire truck rides, the had some games, coloring, a dj w/dancing, food 'n snacks, and a goody bag for the kids. It was fun Jimmy liked it.

Today we hung out at home getting ready for Halloween, took a trip to Target to get candy. Jimmy was the Hulk, This Halloween was a lot of fun for Jimmy he was really into it running up to doors all by himself, saying trick or treat, and saying thank you to everybody he had a blast :)

The thing that peeves me is older kids don't even bother to dress up anymore. Not like I'm that old or anything but when I went trick or treating I may not have bought a costume, but I still made a little effort. And just as we were coming home, four older boys saw the bowl of candy I left out, 2 of them were decent and took 2 pieces each, the other two decided to grab the bowl and empty it into their bags (one of the other two tried to stop them), as I yelled hey that's my house drop the bowl! they took off and probably crapped themselves. They dropped the bowl since the other boy was trying to prevent them from doing it and dumped the candy all over the place. One of the decent kids stayed and apologized for them and helped me to clean it up.

I got an email from my cousin John's wife asking if I wanted join her and some friends for dinner Monday night at this place in Freehold that apparently is dinner and a visit with a psychic which sounds pretty cool and intriguing. So, after I get out of work tomorrow at 6 I'm gonna rush to Freehold for our 6:45 dinner. I wonder what hokey things I'll hear tomorrow??

I'm going to Jail

I got the coolest phone call at work today.

"Hello may I speak with Janine."
"This is."
"Someone has acussed you of having a big heart, and we have a warrent for you arrest for the MDA Lockup."

Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. has the fund raiser where you have to raise money for bail.

The lady went on to say that (If I want to participate of course) I would be arrested on Dec 16 and sent to Jail, They're gonna come to my office to arrest me and bring me in a limo to Jonathans Grill in Jamesburg for jail/lunch and they'll bring me back to work after. I'm gonna do it its for a good cause and it sounds fun. It costs $600 per child to send them to the camp I think she said, they're mailing me the info. and they'd like me to try to raise enough for 3 kids to go. I asked who my acussor was? "I'm sorry they're in witness protection and may be revealed to on Dec 16th"

The conversation was so funny she used every term possible in the realm, I was laughing through the whole phone call.

So if anyone would like to mail me a check as their charitable donation I'd really appreciate it. If you need my address leave a comment with your email address and I'll send it to you.

Friday Night Pick Me (Lisa) Up

I took Lisa out last night, shes a bit depressed because she broke up with her boyfriend. Personally I think she falls in love with her boyfriends too fast. But we had surf and turf - lobster tail and filet mignon - yum yum yum ! I couldn't finish it all so its sitting in my fridge and I think I'm about to eat it for lunch cause I'm getting hungry. And oh my God I had chocolate cheescake for dessert - so damn good!

The Waitress thought Lisa was the older sister and that she was 30 ! she guessed my correct age. But I was laughing hysterically, althought it didn't make Lisa feel all that much better :)

Afterwards we went to see Taxi with Queen Latif and Jimmy Fallon it was so funny we were laughing so hard throughout the movie - its a must see :)

No I don't know what busy means

My boss had a funeral to go to today so I ended up having the day off today. James and I were non-stop today, I had a quick doctor appointment this morning, then I treated Jimmy to a McDonalds breakfast which we do maybe twice a year. Then we stopped home and picked up our library books and returned them, and sat in on a bookplay session they have during the week, the kids get to play games, sing songs, listen to a story, and do a craft after so it was something new for Jimmy. I wish I knew about this when we still were off every Wednesday, but at least we got to participate today. After we took off to Home Depot and I ordered the wood flooring for my hall/living/dining rooms and hopefully it'll all come in fast and I can have my floors put down soon.

I dropped off a pair of shoes last week to get repaired, after we picked those up we walked next door to the SlowDown Cafe in Hightstown where Jimmy and I enjoyed a mug of hot chocolate, he had a brownie and I had a slice of cheese cake - yummy. Afterwards we went home for a nap for about an hour and a half before going to Jimmy's swimming lesson, after I picked up some pants I had tailored.

Talk about running errands : )

Another Busy Day

Jimmy and I had a blast today at Shady Brook Farms, He bounced on all the kid things and played some games, went on a pony ride again, rode some bikes, went though the haunted house but it wasnt scary, we of course went on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch and picked our pumpkins but before we did that...we went for a ride in a monster truck, which was totally cool! Jimmy couldn't stop talking about it for about an hour he was in heaven.

After I went to Home Depot to price some wood floors, its time to put them down. The guy who did my kitchen for me last year can do it for about $1100 which incl. the living/dining and hallway, and just under $2500 for that and Jimmy and my bedrooms. Now I just gotta find the floor I like and hopefully get a cheap price. I found a floor I love at home depot, but I think I might check out Lumber Liquidators maybe they're have something similiar cheaper

Busy Weekend

I took James to get his first flu shot, boooo.

Afterwards we went down the road to the West Windsor Community Park they were have a fall festival from 11-3 today. Jimmy had a blast. They had the moon bouncers and a slide, lots of little games for the kids to play, Petting zoo, Pony rides. There was a helicopter there so Jimmy got to see that up close which he thought was "Totally Awesome Mom!" :) We had ourselves some sausage and pepper sandwiches yum! yum! And you won't believe this, Fried Oreo cookies!

The girl I work with was telling me about Fried Oreo's a month or so ago, and I looked at her like she was crazy! But I saw that they had them here today so I figured I had to try them, and OH MY GOD! they were fantastic! they're coated in the same batter as a funnel cake and fried, the cookie gets soft from being heated and it was soooooooooooooo good! On the sign at at different booth they fry more stuff (we went there first at the end and they were out of batter) Nutter Butter Cookies, Choc. Chip Cookies, and Snicker Bars which are my fav. candy bar normally.

We came home today and took a nap :)

Yesterday We took a trip to the mall just to walk around and I found some clothes for me, but we went to Hammetts Learning World and Jimmy asked me for a Microscope, which is really cool, you enter the code that on the slide and it talks and tells you some facts about the bug. Any learning toy Jimmy wants I have no problem buying :)

Tomorrow We're going to Shady Brook Farms in PA with DeAnna and Doris and her son (the girls I work with) and Lisa to go Pumpkin Picking, and hey have all kinds of fun activities for the kids also. Monster Truck rides, games for the kids, Haunted House Jr. They also do Haunted hayrides for adults which I haven't been on but I do want to go on a haunted hayride this year, I haven't been on one in a while. Maybe we'll all go next weekend when Jimmy's at Bobs.

Shopping Luck!

I got lucky shopping today At Famous Footwear they had some wides! They usually don't I found a nice ankle high pair of black boots with a narrow heel. Walked next door to Payless and found another pair of boots, wine color also w/a narrow heel, I bought them both :) And got some new work clothes also.

I've been cleaning my kitchen and doing laundry the rest of the day. Today was the first time I turned the self-cleaner on of my oven, man it stuck up the house like stuff was burning big time, it wasn't very dirty but whatever was in there is no more. I gonna go hop in the shower now and go out tonight in my new boots :)

Shoe ME!

I can usually find 8 1/2 wide at Payless but not all the time, Target barely caries wides. My hygienist's daughter has the same size as me she says she can find shoes sometimes at KMart, maybe I'll go check out KMart and Walmart tomorrow.

I'm bored tonight, I want to go out, but I'm so tried I just want to go to sleep. I don't feel like watching, tv a movie, or reading a book.

Running Idle

So Lisa is back from CA, she didn't get chosen for the same reason as last time, she doens't sing strong enough, but she got to see her boyfriend for a couple days. She rented a car drove up to San Fransisco audition and drove back to San Fernando to relax a day before flying home.

My feet are not ten feet wide!!!

Ya know! Why can't I find any cute, sexy, in style shoes that fit my feet? It's not like my feet are ten feet wide, they're not even abnormally wide, they're just a little bit wider then the regular/medium size foot. I need 8 1/2 Wide. Does anybody know where I can go to find shoes ???

My Weekend

I finished 9 Parts of Desire, very interesting, very good. I'm actually surprised the read some gray and happy times in the lives of these women.

I took my Grandma food shopping on Friday, then I took my other Grandma shopping to Target yesterday to get some things shes been needing and to get her out the house and cheer her up, then had dinner with her and my dad, nothing like grandma's cooking.

I also just spent the weekend cleaning. Fun Fun.

Oh but Lisa left for CA on friday to mainly audition for the next American Idol auditions in San Francisco, they increased the age limit so she gets to try out again. So she flew out to LA to visit her boyfriend in San Fernando for a few days before driving up to San Fran. then back to San Fernando to visit her boyfriend again. before coming home.
