HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Now here's what's up with Hellboy aka Baby Boy Chaos

Here's the backstory from captain chaos:

"While helping me prep my duck boat, Hellboy (aka BBC) informed me he didn't want to take a bath. I asked him what he wanted to do and he said, "Stay in boat and eat ducks." There's a good lad."

These kids are just too funny!

It's Friday!!

I know it's been a few days weeks since my last post, but what can I say?

I've been a bit busy. You know how it goes. A great idea for a post hits you, but you're looking at a stack of (fill in the blank) and you can't stop. So what happens? Well, I know what happened to me. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was written. (but y'all already knew that.) 

Since my last post, I've decided to get healthy and so, I joined the Wellness Center attached to a local hospital, signed up with a personal trainer, saw a nutritionist and also signed up for a water aerobics class! Who knew, right? My sudden burst of energy and enthusiasm for pain personal fitness came as a surprise to me, too!  

So, that's what I've been busy with these last couple of weeks. I'm finally getting used to a real schedule and how to manage my time for fun things again. So there will be more blogging and less collapsing on the floor after class! (i'm kidding...sort of)

The MITM comes home soon, so that's a good thing! He's been really, really busy and is really, really ready to be at home for a little while. It's always much easier being in the same time zone.

Here in the USA, we're getting ready for mid-term elections, so the TV has been filled with political ads that once again make me wonder WTF is going on here. Proven lies keep being televised in ads, as if repeating them over and over again will make them true. Regional dialects have gotten thicker and thicker, again, as if to say, "I'm one of y'all, not one of themmm." (I want to say to the screen, "Dude, you ARE in Washington! You ARE one of "them!" And if Congress isn't at work at 11:00AM, why aren't you doing something about that?) Who writes these things? When are politicians going to realize we aren't ALL as stupid as they seem to believe.  We have elected officials locally who are stirring the fear pot and actively encouraging ignorance! What is most surprising to me is that when these officials are called out on it, they too start on their "right to free speech" totally ignoring what that means and the consequences that follow. I could go on, but I'm guessing no matter where y'all live in this grand world of ours, you're experiencing some variation on this theme yourself.

I have given up trying to explain or even discuss these issues with these chuckleheads. I'm leaving that up to others who have the energy and/or time. I no longer have either!

So, off I go to read all the blogs I've missed. I'll see y'all soon!
