Cold Front

So when I left work at about 3:00-ish it was sunny and 87* outside and I just walked the dog and it's cloudy and 61* and very windy! I have the windows open trying to let some of heat out and the wind is howling - but no rain yet. They promised rain!!

I've actually been enjoying myself at work and it's so nice to get there late and leave early. I am going to absolutely hate the next two weeks when I'll be working full-time and on my own, but I'll be making lots of extra $$ and I'll be back to part time soon enough so I'll try not to complain too much. Ultimately, I'm glad I made the decision to work. I think it gives me a sense of purpose that I didn't think I needed but apparently I did since I'm happy with my decision.

I didn't even get to mention the Aggies beating Mizzou last weekend ... what a great game!! We were at my nephew's birthday party (he's 2) so we took the portable TV and watched it at the park. The party was ... well, let's just say it was less than organized so the fact that we might have offended some people by paying attention to the game instead of family that wasn't ours and children that aren't ours really doesn't matter to me. There was no singing happy birthday, gifts weren't opened until almost everyone was gone, and there was nothing to drink to ease the pain. Seriously, not even a coke ... so whatever. James and I and my brother-in-law (henceforth BIL) crowded around the little 3" screen and watched the game and talked to my mother-in-law (henceforth MIL). A good time was had by all! WHOOP!

OH .. and can I just tell you that my MIL stayed with the BIL and the kids Saturday night. She was just here for the one night. They sent my 6 year old neice to spend the night with her other grandparents that live in town. ummmm ... ok .... don't you think the visiting grandmother trumps the in town grandparents for visitation rights for the one night she's in town? How absolutely RUDE. Sometimes my family just blows my mind ...

Speaking of family, my mom is off on another adventure. She left for Pittsburgh with a friend two days ago. She dropped her friend off in Ohio then made it Pitt today to visit my aunt. I'm pretty sure they'll have a ton of fun, like they always do. You'd think they've been together enough this year after the World Cruise but nope ... together again ... and they still have plans for Florida in January-February! Crazy ladies!

The temperature is still dropping and it's getting chilly in the house --- mmmmm chili -- maybe I need to make some chili for dinner. I think 60* and falling qualifies as cold enough for chili.
