As the World Turns, and turns, and turns, then STOPS!!!

So....... it's nearly halloween. Costumes are ready, pumpkins are carved, house is decorated and all is well in the kingdom. It' s also the second (and mind you last) weekend of the Deer hunt, in which i am not a participant due to lack of tagage. But at any rate i have still been out a time or 2 in attempts to help others get their animals. I am looking forward to the halloween party at Justin's place because i haven't seen any of my friends for some time now. Also from what i hear there are supposed to be some pretty cool costumes about. Nikki is excited too but for some slightly different reasons. First off she gets her wires cut on halloween day and will be outfitted with a nice arrangement of rubber bands and will finally be able to eat soft foods. Reportedly, the first thing she wants to have when she is at that point is Gnocci with some nice soft garlic bread (which we did have until yesterday when i ate it all and caught flack over which led me to, somewhat sarcasticly, buy 3 bags of the stuff for her to enjoy). Also, the 1st of November is her birthday and she is in for a few surprises. Well not really becaus eshe told me what she wanted, but it makes me feel better to say that they are indeed surprises. Besides it is her birthday and if she doesn't at least act surprised i will be forced to take her presents from her and use them myself. Anyway i hope she has fun. Work is going..........period. I am getting very bored with the inspection job and have put in for a few other openings which include an Automation Engineer and a Process Engineer. I should hear today whether i have an interview for either. I am hoping for this for several reasons, only a few of which are good ones. 1st i'd get to see Nikki more because my shift would be moved to days. 2nd, i' be able to once again attend HDR (which i had to put second because i know my wife will be reading this........JUST KIDDING!!!). note- stay tuned for Nikki's responce and see if i get hurt for that ( bets will be taken at 100 to 1 odds). Nikki is growing ever closer to graduation, and has started to have doubts about going to New York for her grad present. ( By the way, Nikki and Jamie STILL haven't beaten Mario 3) Cars are all running well, dogs are fine (chubby but fine). Truely, all seems well in the kingdom, which of course means that all kinds of things are about to start happening and chaos will soon re-emerge from the depths. Not to mention we are near the "Holiday Season" when everyone gets all hipocritical and bipolar. Normally i really hate the Christmas season, but (due to a promice i made to Nikki) I am going to try and remain cheerful throughout. Does this mean you can expect to see me outside your doorstep caroling away with several other hopelessly tone deaf persons. I should hurt you for even thinking it. In reality i think the best way for me to stay upbeat is to aviod people all together, which given my recent work habits shouldn't be too hard. Enough about me, i'd like to say something concernign the comments posted by ya'll. I think i am going to start requiring at least a 2 sentence responce. If you can't think of anything good to say just throw a bunch of periods in there and make it look like there are a few lines. Oh by the way (as if it were a shocker) our house still hasn't sold, and i am still without internet (grumble grumble). My time has expired, i must return to the pit from whence i was summoned. Best of luck to all of you. By the way, don't do anything stupid. Toodles
