This is my last day off until next week and what a good day it has been. I actually took time out and drove to see my Aunt and my mother...While I was at my Aunt's house she let me pick some apples off of her trees. I have about ten of them and I am going to make a pie with them I think. I wouldn't normally pick apples but these are Arkanas Black Apples (yes, they are actually almost black) which are my favorite. They are firm and tart and will be perfect to make a pie with.
Today was abnormally hot and before I left to go to my Aunt's house I had to stop by work and talk with my boss. She is offering me a promotion which I don't think I want. It would certainly look good on my resume but I am having fun having some free time to enjoy myself. I am making "just enough" money and I have no pressures on the job right now ...still the offer is something to think about.
I also saw my mom today which was nice. I haven't been able to go many places in the past few weeks due to the gas shortage here in the south east. Two weeks ago there were only three gas stations in the whole city that had gas. People were lined up causing road blocks and fighting over gas. Last week when we got gas in the area I felt odd that I got excited over seeing it. The whole scenerio lasted for about three weeks so it grounded me at home. I wasn't able to go anywhere or do anything besides go to work and come home. Naturally since I wasn't able to go anywhere I desperately missed my mom. This year will be the first year since she moved back that I will be able to spend my birthday with her. She is actually throwing me a little family party they day before my birthday on the 30th. I haven't had a "family birthday party" since I was 16 which was a few years before she moved so I am really looking foreward to it.
Next week is mine and Wayne's 3rd annaversary ...a spectacular feat that we made it. I say this considering not that long ago I didn't even know if we would be speaking by this time. We have decided to stay local this year and keep it low key (we normally go out of town to Savannah GA or Charleston SC). I think it will be nice to stay at home.
Anyway I hope this blog sticks, the last one didn't. So I hope all of you are doing well and I am glad to be back up and running.
Until next time...

This economy has forced everyone to change plans in some way or another. We just had a three day weekend, choosing to stay home because we didn't want to incur the cost of gas, food, and lodging.
I, for one, am thankful that you and Wayne have made it to anniversary number 3. May the next year be smoother.
Let me just say that if next year isn't smoother then there indefinatly will NOT be another year. Ugh just thinking about the same drama arising sends shivers down my spine...but that is off base, I know you didn't intend to evoke that line of thinking. I am so glad you dropped by my page...i am so glad that we have kept in touch for so long...you know, I have known you since 2005 as well as Thom so its our 3 year anniversary as well! You take care and I love you both!

That's great that you're having your 3 year anniversary! Mine and Jeff's will be three years too in December. I hope you have a great anniversary and a great birthday too. That's really cool that you're having a family party.
The job nonsense rings true for me as well. I took one promotion because it was "take it or there's no job" and another because we need the money (and I was doing the work anyway, so why not?). Relationships are tricker-I know I don't have to tell you that. I wish you and Wayne the very best. When all around you is in turmoil, it is wonderful to have that one constant - I hope you find that in each other.
