the rhine stone cowboy...

here's a recent picture of evan on his new horse that he got from one of jason's collegues!

i recently discovered that verizon offers a slow dsl up 768K for only $15 a month.... we switched.. saving our selves $20 a month for internet... the fast DSL was up to 3mb, but we rearly got over 1mb, so this dsl isn't much different, it saves us money and doesn't tie up the phone line!

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 :)

i'm obsessed with talking about my kid

i can't help it, he's super cute, except when he's tired and cranky, but that doesn't happen too often. when this is the case he often wants boob. last night he screamed bloody murder for about 15 minutes flailing all over the place b/c he woke up and he wanted some boob and i wouldn't give him any... that's right folks, we're still boobin' as i call it... even says "boo" lol... at some point while boobin' i said "honestly evan... how many guys get as much boob as you and still complain they can't get enough?" tyler and trev laughed. it was funny...

here are a few pictures of evan 2 nights ago... it's been chilly at nighttime around here, so after his bath i put in him is footy pj's that i bought last winter b/c the 2T's were too small.. these are the 3T's, and i'm telling you that they won't last the whole winter.. gerber clothes if ind tend to run small... well at least their pj's, thermal underwear and long john's... b/c last winter when evan was wearing the 2T i had to buy 3T b/c his stomach was hanging out of the shirts.. lol
let's remind everyone that evan isn't even 2 years old and is comfortable wearing size 3T (which is intended for 3 year-old toddlers) he can still wear his 2T's though which is good, but if anyone is planning on clothes for gifts for eith birthday or christmas... 3T is the way to go.

the night i put evan in these pj's i went to herb's blog and read that he was sweating bullets.. ha ha ha.. usually chicago is colder than us! altho i hear we're in for a bad winter... great...

the second picture here came out well.. until i noticed jason yawning in the back... oh well. and the 3rd picture is good too, if you like looking at people who roll their eyes.. well evan looked cute anyhow. i accidentally just deleted the picture, so now i have to wait for it to upload again.

while at a clients house today i was talking about how i need more shoes and how a gay guy in chicago has more shoes than me... he laughed... my client said that if he could he would have tons of shoes too... he is also gay. :) of course i knew that, but it was funny.

it's dinner time now, so i'm signing off!
