There was a time in the not so distant past, that last night was my favorite night of the year because of the time change.

For the extra hour of sleep?

Well, that helped, but no that wasn’t why.

The main reason fall-back Saturday was my favorite night was because the bars stayed open for an extra hour! The bands played and drinks flowed for one hour longer. It was the best party night of the year.

Not anymore. I was in bed by midnight (and only because I made myself stay up that late) and rolled out of bed at 7 am (which is really 6 am). It’s gonna feel like a looooong day! At least it’s a pretty one!

I’m not old…so why do I suddenly feel that way?

Football Roundup:

My Razorbacks were slow to get started, but they finally woke up and ran away with the game. Final score: 44-10

Poor Grant. Despite the fact the Huskers maintained the lead until they middle of the 3rd quarter, they lost to OK State 41-29. Maybe next week, laddie.

And surprisingly, Ole Miss played a great game and almost beat Auburn. But, like the Huskers, they gave up the lead they had for the majority of the game and wound up losing by 6.

Go Hogs!

The Leckies left for Scotland just in time. We had 3 days of cold, wet, rainy and all out yucky days. It’s like they left us a little reminder from their homeland.

But today is beautiful. Sunshine and clear skies. The highs will in be in the 60s and lows in the 40s. Perfect.

It’s not gonna be quite as nice in “Sunny Scotland” today. I can’t wait to visit, but they can keep their weather…

Today we buy clown make-up for the boys’ halloween, since they are still both determined to dress up as “gansta clowns”. In order for me to handle the whole clown thing, I’ll be dressing up as myself, only medicated–to avoid the really bad dreams I’m probably gonna have about gangsta clowns.

God I hate clowns.

We also finish decorating today. I started to do it earlier this week, but it was a half-assed attempt. We have 1 ghost hanging and a couple of fallen tombstones. Pretty sad, actually.

Yesterday I blogged on our sadly neglected Mean Bitches site. I turned in a project yesterday to my lovely agent. It feels good to have it finished, even though it’s not like anything I’ve ever done before. I’m a little nervous about it, but at the same time, I feel really good about it.

Happy Saturday!

Seriously, if you saw the truck that ran over me while I was sleeping last night, could you report it please?

My God I couldn’t get out of bed this morning.

I’m usually at work by 7:15. Today I rolled in at a lovely 8:30. I’m skipping lunch so I can still go home at my normal time.

It’s gonna be a long day…

But at least it’s Friday!

You guys have any big plans for the weekend?

When both Grant and Simon stayed with us the second time, my boys reacted in true brotherly fashion–they showed their asses. Of course, had it just been Grant the 2nd time, we wouldn’t have cared so much. But Grant’s parents were here too, and let me tell ya, I was a smidge irritated at my spawn. However, I know that’s how boys show affection.

I just wish their affection could be shown in some form other than farting, burping, poking, yelling, and sticking dirty stinky feet in faces!

We have a white board where we usually write their chores. They took the board over and wrote SLIMON IS WEIRD and GRANT IS STINKY. SLIMON IS WIERD (yes it’s spelled that way) is still our screen saver as a matter of fact.

Methinks they do protest too much.

Especially after last night when Rader asked if he could email Grant. Even Ian said he’d probably email him this week. Kinda sweet really.

Grant took over the white board before he left. Despite the written order not to erase it, I had to this morning. (sorry) Chores come first! Here’s just a little reminder of his visit.

On a good note, Fishdog finally returned home last night from his conference in Chicago. I’m sure glad he’s back.
