Random...so random

I just thought I'd post some random short blurbs about life right now since I'm tired & having trouble putting together a full story in my brain...

Saturday is Tori's Baby Shower at my Mom's house and we are doing last minute prep for it. The theme is blue & brown polka dots & paisleys (love it!) It's gonna be a lot of fun & I'll have many pictures to share! I can't wait for her to experience a little boy!

I really like my new job. I still have not decorated my office, but I will be doing that very soon. And my stress level has dropped soooo much. I actually find myself smiling while driving home from work~SERIOUSLY. But I miss my peeps at WC!

My niece, Chloe' was accepted into the Northwest Arkansas Academy of Fine Arts a few weeks ago. It's a charter school for 9th-12th graders that focuses on visual & culinary arts, music, dance, and much more, along with the core classes. She's in heaven & it suites her so well. I would have LOVED to go there back when I was her age, if it only had existed, that is.

I'm kinda freaking out that I don't have Halloween costumes bought. I have looked forever & cannot come up with something cute for Mason that is age appropriate & something that he likes. Not to mention, I can't find the items that Wayne & I need to do our costumes (top secret, of course!)

Tomorrow, October 10th, is my Grandma's birthday (I'd say Happy Birthday, Grandma! if she read my blog, or had a computer, or new what a blog was.)
It's also my good friend Christy's birthday! (and believe me, she DOES know what a blog is! heehee) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRISTY!!!!!

No post would be complete without mentioning Mason!
Shameless Mommy Brag Session:
He simply amazes us with the things he knows & says everyday. He communicates very well. Also, he can "read" (recite) 2 of his books now, and it's the cutest stinkin' thing you've ever heard! (ok~that I've ever heard. I know I'm biased.) The books are Dinosaurs! by Sandra Boynton and Brown Bear, Brown Bear (sound familiar, Alison?) I tried to get a video of him last week reciting his ABC's (& would try to get him reading) but for some reason the film option on our camera decided to stop working. :( We need a new camera! Mason can also count to 15. I have GOT to get him potty trained!!! (It's my fault~he's been ready but I have not devoted a lot of time to it) Oh well, that's next on the agenda. Won't those be some fun upcoming posts to read about?!

One last thing. Can someone tell me why in the hell stores have Columbus Day sales? Pretty soon we'll all have to start buying gifts for each other for Columbus Day. I can hear the Hallmark commercials now...
