I can't wait until tomorrow. Why? Because tomorrow will be the day that the political attack ads will finally stop. I understand the need for a candidate to get their name out but not every 5 minutes. These drive me crazy and we don't even have a cable subscription. The ads I hear on the radio and what I see on Hulu and YouTube are more than enough. I feel sorry for those of you that watch network TV.
Over the weekend I discovered that YouTube created a PS3 app. I thought, "Great, I can now watch cats doing cute things and guys almost killing themselves from the comfort of my couch." So I fire up the app and I check out the trending videos and I play one. I see the dreaded "Your video will pay in 16s" message pop up and I don't think much of it. I watch a political commercial about a guy from Hungry who had a dream about coming to America, no big deal I watch my video and I'm on to the next. I start the next one and guess who I see? The same guy. I watch a few more and there he is to greet me at every video. I understand that companies like YouTube make money from advertising but come on, diversify your ads a little. I must have seen this ad 10 times in a row.
Anyway, the election is tomorrow and I won't have to look at or hear these ads for another 4 years. Don't forget to vote. Check out justvotecolorado.org for polling information.

What a weekend.
I am sitting here at my desk and I just now realized that is it already Monday. Did I even have a weekend? I guess I did because when I got up this morning I was in a different bedroom and I noticed a freshly painted accent wall and a newly painted bedroom.
This was an extremely busy, but very productive weekend. I seem to go through these phases were I get on a home improvement kick and I try to work on and fix everything that has been driving me crazy around the house. We painted, did some massive fall cleaning, moved bedrooms and did a lot of overall reorganization. We are trying to make some extra room for out little bundle of joy that will be with us before we know it.
For the rest of the day I am going to work on getting the rest of the paint out from under my fingernails and think about what else I need to get done. So for everyone that is wondering where their weekend went don't fret another one will be here before you know it.

November: One of My Favorite Months
It is finally month eleven. The leaves have changed, the air is so crisp, the food is delicious, the colors red/orange/yellow/brown look incredible and the fashion gets really adorable. Don't get me wrong, there are downsides. I tend to get a billion sinus infections at this point. *crosses fingers* Then there is day light savings time. I don't particularly enjoy it but I know the chances of the state changing its policy on that fun note will probably never happen. So the best I can do is accept the DST ugly head and not complain.
In 4 days I will be 24 weeks pregnant and the baby will be THIS BIG!!!! *holds out a ruler* Almost 11 inches! I keep wondering if by week 40, will I really be able to deliver a melon to my husband? Probably. One thing I am thankful for this thanksgiving is a baby in my tummy who gives me the excuse to eat as much mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing I want! I know I have a baby bump but when November 22nd roles by, I'll have a food bump too.
November is great for the walks with the cool and calm air. Granted I can't really walk too far on the trails or else I'd fall down in a ditch and die somewhere based on my center of gravity changing.
One thing I always have difficulty with is the fashion. As said, it is adorable but who in God's name can afford such beautiful clothes? Unless if you want to get into serious debt, you don't get any of the fancy stuff. I have tried to find ways to save. The $25 brown button down jacket from Walmart or Target do not compare to the $150 soft warm cozy (fantastic fabric may I remind you) jacket from Dillards. I have seen women my age wandering around (Target) in the most adorable clothes. What the heck are you doing in a Target?! Your fancy rich coat and boots are making me jealous, go shop somewhere else! When trying to save, it's just not the same. I can tell a Walmart Uggs rip off from the real thing. Not that if you wear the ones from Walmart that it is a bad thing. For my personal wishes and desires, I just want the real thing. Who says a pregnant lady can't be fashionable? Actually, it is harder than one may think. I'm not going to be pregnant for much longer so I'm not going to go out and by $80 pair of preggo jeans. Walmart doesn't carry it anymore. Target overprices. Savers.... is just a terrible place where people's hopes and dreams go to die.... It certainly isn't a picnic. If it is, picture your picnic swarming with ants... lots... of ants....
Besides my art getting up on here, I would like to put up recipes and how to's. Since it's November, I'm doing a November Recipes Tab or something or other on here.
Everyone: Enjoy November, it will go by faster than we think. Ta-ta
