More Random Stuff

• I have some of my BEST ideas for a blog entry during the night, but I don't write them down because I am afraid if I wake up TOO much - I won't go back to sleep.  So sleep wins and this blog suffers.
• Do you always sleep on the same side of the bed??  We used to not... we switched - but now, we have assigned sides.
• I did get a flu shot.  And then that CRAPPY GI BUG!  Coincidence?  I am not sure.
• There is a SIGNIFICANT difference in how an almost 10 year old copes with the GI bug versus an almost 8 year old.  Let's hope Ainsley doesn't barf again until she is able to hit the toilet.
• I bought a carpet steam cleaner on Saturday.  (It was that bad.)
• Amelia on Private Practice still hasn't found a shirt that fits.  Sigh.
• Turkey.  Stuffed, or unstuffed?  Growing up - ours was ALWAYS stuffed.  But then I went to college and heard all the horror stories in my microbiology class about how stuffing cooked in the bird Can Kill You (well, not absolutely, but sometimes) so I opted for unstuffed.  And now, I love all the funky stuffing recipes that are more sides, not "stuffing".  Just wonder what other people do!
• We are going to Boone, to this house, with the House of Estrogen gang for Thanksgiving and I can't wait!!  It MIGHT SNOW!!
• I appreciated the comments on skin care - thank you.  My primary concern right now is the brown spots/areas on my neck and near my hairline that cropped up during pregnancy.  Until I can fix that... I have been very pleased with that Revlon Photo Ready foundation of late - it's nice coverage especially for pictures.
• We got our new camper last week.  We were supposed to try it out last weekend in New Bern - but alas, everyone was sick.  So the next attempt will be November 19th / 20th.  Need a couple of nights before we haul south to Florida for Christmas.
• Time change this weekend.  Man - Amelia's 5:30 wake up calls are going to get REALLY bad when that becomes 4:30.
• I think I might be one of the only people on earth that does not like any Starbucks mocha/peppermint/pumpkin/whatever lattes.  I don't even like their coffee.  I order the same thing, every time (which is rare!) - grande chai 1%.  (I just read London's post and how she loves the mocha thing!!)
• We need to start the process for naturalization.  YAY!
