MTv for Old People

After years of working in bars that the music was too loud, cranking the itunes on my headphones at work, and driving around with Howard Stern blaring at full volume, I think my hearing is going on strike. The main problem with this, other than saying "What?" every other sentence, is that it is seriously cutting into my television time. Now this is embarrassing to say, but I am a 31 year old who likes to watch reality television, Mtv, and shows on The-N. Engaged and Underage, America's Next Top Model, Degrassi, I like them all. For some reason on these shows every scene must have a musical back drop making it virtually impossible to hear the mumbling teenage characters in these shows. No wonder why kids have ADD. Between the music, the drama, and the scrolling ads running along the bottom of the screen, I am losing my mind. Maybe it's time to grow up...I never have any issues watching Law and Order...lol. Someone please invent a way to fade these out! Or MTv, turn the music down so I can hear already! Or maybe I should just give up and go to the store and buy some depends already ;)

I'm so tired

This was taken at a craft fair in Columbus that we went to with Jack and Kate. I am sure Trey gave them some things to think about for when they have babies (extra pants, anyone?).

I am very pleased with the way the election went last night. Regardless of your choice of candidate, you have to be glad we live in a country where you get to choose and your vote counts! I am also excited that Trey will never know of a time when only white people could have that job. I think the most important thing for children is to have dreams and to think they can achieve those dreams, and that goes for all children, of all colors. My fingers are crossed for a better tomorrow...but that may take some time. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of people disgruntled when there aren't immediate results, but Rome wasn't built in a day, lol.

I went to Fremont for a slumber party with my girls this weekend and that was fun. We bought matching pjs and drank and laughed too much. Although it was just one night, it was what i needed. 

Trey has been busy this fall, pumpkin patch visit(s), pumpkin carving, halloween brunch, costumes. Here he is at the pumpkin patch in fremont and as "Trey-ger Woods" at the brunch, and as a monkey at Boo at the Zoo with Grandmere.





Brad and I are keeping busy with work, winterizing the house and yard, and planning trips to columbus, chicago, memphis in may, and trying to get back down to Florida again. It is mainly a wishlist now as we are really trying to catch up on bills and get some padding as who knows what the future may hold. Until then, we'll be here, enjoying fall in cleveland.
