success!

i'm a master mom! my first attempt at homemade play-doh was a success! i'm very proud of myself. somehow i thought i'd screw it up, but i didn't. we have alovely wad of green stuff that tastes like salt in a tupperware now.. evan and i had a good time with it and some cookie cutters for a good 15 minutes atleast. now what? now he' sleeping on the couch. we ran a couple of errands this morning for fabric for his halloween costume.. just needed one more thing, and some laundry detergent and conditioner thanks to family dollar for not ripping us off. all free & clear there is only $4.50! comparitively at stop & shop the same bottle is $6.99! and fructis shampoo and conditioner is only $3 there too.. we just switched brands a couple of months ago. fructis is alto $3 at wal-mart (won't shop there until they give their employees lunch) and at target, however both locations are over 1/2 hour away no matter which one you go to. there are atleast 3 wal-marts equi-distant from our house and only one target down in hadley. a target is s'posed to be coming to greenfield in the near future. it would be nice if we had stores open past 5:30 on any given day. the only htings open are the pharamacies, and CVS is a rip-off too.. it's amazing what these places can get away with when there's no monster chain store nearby to drive prices down.

real estate class is going well. i'm very excited for my possible new career.. altho i hear it's expensive to get into with all the dues you have to pay..

how many of you live next door to the neighborhood gossip and drama queen. ya know, linda's nice and all, but she's such the drama queen! very emotional and over-exxaggerates everything. it can be very obnoxious, but i'm polite none the less.. she is our neighbor after all...
she takes care of her 4 year-old grand daughter, and linda's son is visitng with cecil. that's fine. he just went for a bike ride with her in one of those seat things that attaches to the bike so the kid has to stare at the parents ass.. (that's right we have one too... it was free from a client) well anyway.. poor cecil apparantly doesn't have a helmet. now i know we didn't grow up with helmets and of course i still don't own one, however a small child on the back of an adults bike they have no control of (except to throw off the balance) should have a helmet.. besides it's the law that all kids under 12 have to wear one. they're not terribly expensive, and i know they're not poor. there's no reason why this girl shouldn't have one... oh well.

tyler is on his way to woods hole to look at apartments for his job that starts tuesday. poor tyler.. that's a long drive there and back for one day. might as well drive to niagara falls! not much further! hopefully he finds something soon. he only found out 2 weeks ago that he got this job, so it's not like he's being lazy about looking for places...

i have a 5-day weekend! score! and i think we're going to go to the movies on monday on our day off! we plan on seeing serenity, and from what i hear mom, it's a very good movie :)
