I got out of work early...there was no point in staying until 7:30. There weren't any students!
So I left at 5:30 and went to Lisa and Rocky's.

There was a little ladybug waiting to go trick-or-treating ... a very cute ladybug!
Check her out:

Then ofcourse we went outside and took some pictures. I am sure Leslie will post more on her blog. I dont know why I didn't take more...Oh well.

Reyna with her Aunt Emilie!

:)

Happy Halloween!

Its hard to believe that today is Halloween.
It feels like a normal day.
I can remember when I was a little kid, how exciting Halloween was; parties at school, costumes, candy. Every year I would be impatiently waiting for Dad to get home from work and eat dinner so we could go to Brooklyn and do some trick-or-treating. And every year by the time he got home, I was in my costume, fed, and ready to go...this routine happened for a long time but once I was a little older I learned to pace myself because we wouldn't leave right when Dad walked in the door.

I Kinda miss that. . . . .

Nothing really big planned for today. Sometimes I just think that I am so boring. Ha!
I am going to work on homework, stop at Target, go to work at Sylvan.

Speaking of Sylvan Learning Center... How stupid is it that they are open on Halloween night?!?!
Seriously, kids don't want to be tutored on Halloween. They want to go home and get ready to go trick-or-treating. I think that the first 2 early hours (3:30 and 4:30) are going to be kinda busy, but I know for a fact that we only have one, that's right ONE student coming at 5:30 and then five students at 6:30. They should have just closed for Halloween. Because honestly who the hell really wants to be their anyway... a lot of the teachers are parents...don't you think they want to be home with their kids too? Oh well, its not really my call. I'll be there no matter what.

What are some of your memories from Halloween when you were growing up?
What kind of traditions do you have now?


I am now going to watch Reyna on Monday's while Leslie goes to work.
I started today.
Reyna is such a doll.

After Leslie left, we played, and played and played.




Then we went outside to play some more and to go for a walk. It was beautiful outside today. Sunny, and cool, but not cold.
She was having a great time...she was talking and laughing up a storm!

She took a great nap and woke up smiling!


Check out that drool!!

She loves her Aunt Emilie!
We had a great afternoon together!

The weekends go by sooo quickly. I just can't keep up anymore. Weekends aren't the only thing that fly by...I can hardly believe that its almost NOVEMBER! This year has been crazy and its hard to grasp the idea sometimes that the holidays are coming. Where does the time go?

A re-cap of my weekend...

Friday night my friend Lindsey and I went to the Haunted Cider Mill in Homer. OH MY GOD was that freaky! I about peed my pants! No joke! My heart was POUNDING so hard... this place was huge!!! We paid 20 bucks, waited in line for 30 minutes but it was worth it... They had some really cool scenes starting from the basement, going up three floors.

On Saturday I worked at Sylvan, then went to Detroit and hung out with Bobby for a while. We had dinner with his parents and then just hung out and watched football and a movie. It was great to see him. Can't wait till next weekend when I can see him again!

Today I have been super lazy. I slept in, I watched tv, took a nap, studied, went to dinner with my parents and I have just been hanging out. Nothing too exciting today.

Hope you had a good weekend.

I have to go prepare for another week.

Lindsey tagged me... so here it goes.

The Rules:
A. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
B. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog, for these rules.

1. I am a morning person. Most of the time. Well, after I get out of my bed I am a morning person. I just like the thought of a new day, and a fresh start.

2. I don't drink a lot of coffee, I am more of a tea person.

3. I used to be the biggest Hanson fan. I am mean serious. I had Hanson posters all of my walls...you couldn't even see the paint on my walls...and I have a lot of wall space. (not such a big Hanson fan anymore...just so you know! )

4. I am a people pleaser. I am always worrying about what people think of me and if they like me. I just want to be accepted and love. Just like everybody else on earth.

5. I bite my nails when I get nervous/board. I am really trying to quit ...

6. I need to get motivated...I have been a big procrastinator lately... someone please motivate me!!! haha.

Now I am tagging :

Totally random....I know.

Spicy was 'fixed' and de-clawed on Thursday last week.

She came home Friday.

Spicy had to go back Saturday because she had taken her own sutures out!

So the vet sewed her back up and then glued the incision.



WELL...



Tonight her incision is open again...

She licked off the glue and took out all but ONE suture. Plus she keeps licking her front paws. And will not leave them alone!

So I put the cone collar on her, and she is not a happy kitty...



POOR KITTY!!!



(Marissa, Morgan, Me and Hannah waiting for Tarra and Lauren to get to the room.)



This weekend was awesome!!


My sister, 4 nieces, Marissa, Morgan, Hannah, and Lauren met me in Utica, Illinois for a fun all girls weekend! The place we met was called Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Resort. Let me just say this place was such a fun place to take 4 little girls! They really had a great time. So here's what happened this weekend . . . . be ready for TONS of pictures!!!



(Tarra and I)


(Morgan and I)


Friday we finally all got there, checked in and got settled. The rooms were very nice. 2 queen size beds, and a pull out couch...just enough room for 6 people. There was a microwave, a fridge, and a nice sized t.v. (But who the heck was going to stay in their room to watch tv when there was so much fun to be had!?!?!)

Now, this resort, had an indoor amusement park, an indoor water park, miniature golf, an outdoor play land ! There was lots to do!



We did it all!!!


The Amusement Park:




Fun Pictures from Saturday:






I thought this pictures was cute!

Hannah is helping Lauren with her coat at the park . . .



More Cute pictures . . . .




Finally... the water park!
There was a lazy river, a water tree house, a waterfall, a wave pool, 2 BIG water slides, and a smaller slide...



The waterfall.



The wave pool. Every 15 minutes or so BIG waves started up again.


This was a water tree house....every so often water would shoot out from everywhere!!!

A picture of the entire water park.

A few last pictures from the pool...





Lauren LOVED this slide.


We had a great time!
If you're interested in this resort, check out :

Tomorrow I am meeting me sister, Tarra and my four nieces, Marissa, Morgan, Hannah and Lauren in Illinois.

We are staying at Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Resort.

We're staying Friday through Sunday.

It looks like such a cool place to stay!! Its got a huge indoor water park, an amusement park and probably even more. I'll be taking TONS of pictures !!! Be ready!

I am really excited to get to see them!

I have lots of things to do to get ready...

I still have to pack, go to the store, clean out my car a little, pack the car, clear my camera memory card, go to the school, and I have to work at Sylvan today at 3.

Think I can do it???

Okay well Im off to get things ready...

Have a great weekend!

I worked out again tonight.
I am definitely feeling it.

Tonight's focus: *Arms and Abs.*

Once I got home, I jumped in the shower and as I was washing my hair, my arms started to shake and were aching. Pain is a good thing right?!?!?

I'm going back tomorrow for more.


On Saturday, a group of Bobby's family and I went and walked around Flavor Fruit Farms.

Its a great place during autumn. Its is a apple orchard and they have lots of fall festivities throughout October.

They had hayrides, tons of pumpkins to pick from, apples, cider, fresh warm DOUGHNUTS, kid crafts, wild animals, pony rides and music.

There were a ton of people there.


They even had a baby kangaroo, tiger and fox. They were sooo cute!!



They had Jackson County's largest pumpkin contest...
Check out this HUGE pumpkin:
Isn't that crazy???
If was a very fun afternoon!!

Working out.
I haven't been.
Not really.
I would like to workout a lot more.
I think I would feel a lot better about myself.
Why haven't I been working out?
Well Its hard to go and stay motivated when you go by yourself.
That's the honest to God truth.
I have plenty of time to go...
If I plan to go by myself, there is ALWAYS tomorrow and I don't end up going.

Here's a few examples :
" ...Ahh I'm tired, I'll workout tomorrow."
"I'll go tomorrow for sure."
"Maybe tomorrow I will go instead."
"Nah, I'll go tomorrow, Im too tired."

See what I mean?
So, I found a workout buddy.
Kelly.
This way, If Kelly and I say we're gonna meet at 4, I HAVE to show up!
Kelly and I have 2 classes together this semester. She graduated from Northwest a couple years before Bobby did, so that's kinda neat.
We decided to start working out together.
Soo...
We worked out tonight! YAY!
Now I am pooped.
I already have showered and now I am in my cozy pj's.
Pitiful, huh?
I am planning on just relaxing tonight.
I'm gonna study, watch grey's and then hit the hay.

Anyway..
It felt really good to workout.
We walked/jogged on the treadmill, lifted weights mainly focusing on Legs and Abs.
We were at the gym for a over an hour.
I think that we are going to go a few times a week together. Which will be AWESOME!
It really helps having someone go with you. I mean, I've gone on my own but its a lot less boring if you have a friend there to motivate you. AND I wont be working out tomorrow, I will be doing it today!

Do you have a workout routine or go to a gym? Do you do it alone/with a friend/in a group? What kind of workout do you normally do?

So today I saw one Feister after the next!

This morning, I made my way over to Leslie's. When I got there, Nicole was just getting there to pick up Porter. It was really nice to be able to see Nicole and Porter for a little bit.
(By the way Nic, P is way too cute!) Leslie, Reyna and I just hung out and took it easy. We had lunch, a cup of tea and just talked. It was great.

Then I made my way to work, at Sylvan.

Afterwards....

I went and had dinner with Lisa. We had Ravioli. YUM...it tasted so good. I haven't had ravioli in sooo long!
So I had a day of Feister women...Leslie, Reyna and Lisa!

It was great to kinda catch up with all of them and get to see them for a little bit.
I love that fact that even though Bobby isn't around, they still like to see me. It makes me feel closer to them. Its great!

I have a few pictures from Bobby's homecoming...





I would like to introduce Dennis, one of his roommates:


The three of us went to the football game...
Wayne state won!!!!





Nothing much going on, just school and work.
I have been lazy, real lazy.

No big plans the rest of the night, just relaxing.
Tomorrow I am going to see Leslie and Rey before work, then afterwork I am having dinner with Lisa...

Have a good night.

Tonight I am at Wayne State. Bobby and I went to his homecoming football game!! It was a lot of fun. It was super HOT but the we got seats that were in the shade. Dennis, one of Bobby's roommates went with us. He is a hoot!! I took a couple pictures and I will post more Sunday or Monday. Tonight Bobby and I met Leslie, Reyna and Kristen at Red Robin in Novi. So good!
It was great to see Kristen, I wish she lived closer. Afterwards we stopped at Meijer for water, pop and snacks. And now we are getting ready to relax and watch a movie.

Where is the fall weather? October is suposed to be cool, and crisp and have smells are unlike any other season.

What the heck?!?!

Tomorrow its going to be close to 90* !!!!!!! The leaves haven't even started to change to their full fall colors...

I want fall!!

Here's a few pictures from what today looked like :
Sunny, clear and let me tell ya, it was VERY warm!



These are the fall decorations my mom and I put up the other day...
Soo where is Fall hiding???

Today I had a doctor's appointment. I went in to get my last Gardisil shot. By the way, if you are a woman considering those shots, just to warn you, they hurt like a bitch! The poke is okay, but when the actual medicine in being pushed in, its a killer!

BUT while I was there, I told the doc about my headaches. She said that they were defiantly MIGRAINES!!! So she gave me something for them. THANK GOD! And until I get my script filled, she gave me Immatrex...it worked wonders!! I took it when I got to work and at first it made me feel really flushed and hot but after an hour or so my MIGRAINE had hit the road. Mind you I have had this headache ( Now I KNOW it was a Migraine) since Saturday afternoon, and nothing was touching it, not even Excedrin. So I was pretty darn happy when I felt normal!

I will be making a stop at Target tomororw to get my new prescription!
So I haven't said anything about Cooper lately. . ..

He is doing really well. He went to the Vet Monday. He weighs 13 pounds...and got 3 shots, he was very brave!! hahaha! Here's a couple pictures!

That was his treat for being such a good dog!

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Yesterday I decided to apply for the LPN Program. (Licensed Practical Nurse.)

The last day to apply was Oct. 1.

The program doesn't start until March, so I wont know for a while.

But send some good thoughts my way if you get a chance!!

Thanks!

So this weekend I babysat Saturday and Sunday. I was busy!

The kids, Nathan (6) and Elizabeth (4) kept my on the go!

We had lots of fun.

We made a BIG leaf pile, then of course jumped in it and had a leaf fight! We did this more then once, and they even helped rake the leave into the pile ! It was a great weekend to be outside, so I kept them busy!

We also played LOTS of games...Memory, Sequence for kids, Go Fish, and a few others.

AND we had a good time with Playdoh....

Take a look :


We got pretty creative!!!
