WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

My Favorite Time of Year....

Can you believe it's October the 14th already. This month is almost over!! I think there is only something like 85 shopping days till Christmas. =)

Okay, okay...I won't mention it again till after Thanksgiving.

I'm so excited about this time of year. It's my favorite! Corn harvest is starting, the beautiful leaves along the Illinois Valley are beginning to change, it's just all so awesome right now.

Corn harvest brings back SO many memories for me. I love watching the combines, grain carts, and trucks roll through the fields. It's just one of those awesome things I love to watch.

If you can't laugh at yourself....

then who can you laugh at.

I must share my blonde moment. Its quite comical to me....my mom and sister even got a good laugh out of it.

Yesterday morning before leaving for town, I uploaded some pictures to Walmart.com so that they could be ready at 1-Hour photo when I got done with dropping off my daughter at school, and other errands.

When I got to Walmart a few hours later, they had not yet arrived. So I came home.

This morning, I went back in to check on them hoping they had been delayed. Still, no pictures.

I came home to see what was up. Went back through setting it all up, and got to the last step.

Guess what......my account was still defaulted to the town Walmart I used to use 850 miles away!

Don't Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many of a failure turns about,

When we might have won had we stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit.

United...

For a litte while.....a community united under the awesomeness of fireworks. For one hour, a community stopped, and oooohhh'd and awwwww'd.
