Fine Just The Way It Is:Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx.
The first I read of Annie Proulx was the collection Close Range:Wyoming Stories which included the story "Brokeback Mountain". I really enjoy the way she writes. She moves from the 1800's to the the present day to 2,500 years ago with ease-I can really see how her mind just envisions the different times and then shares those visions with us. When I grow up, I want to be just like her.
I am a huge short story fan, and I have yet to be disappointed in anything she's written.
Highly Recommended!

Happy Happy
Youngest was invited to go to Virginia City with his best friend and her family-an overnight trip, with a cemetery tour, haunted house, trick or treating, etc…
That means Hubbs and I have the evening alone! An empty house! Just Hubbs, me, and the cats! I’m pretty excited.
After work we’re going to pick up his suit we just got tailored-then I plan on tearing it off of him when we get home. Rawr!
So sorry kids, there will be no candy at the Lula household this year.
Have a great weekend!

And I Was Right!
This has turned out to be a very good day. Bad for some, but good for Little Wing and I.
Our skeevy co-worker got fired! I hate to rejoice in other’s misfortune, but he was very creepy. And he made life miserable with his laziness-“I just don’t have time to get to that, maybe next week.”
Well, what we thought was laziness was actually hours spent looking at not safe for work pictures, if you know what I mean.
Good Riddance! And congrats to Little Wing-it’s her story, I’ll let her tell it when she has time. But I am very proud of her.
Best day ever!

Too Much!!
I’m feeling overwhelmed again-I know, here we go. I suppose its standard this time of year, with the holidays coming up. But I’m really in need of a day where I just flop on the couch and watch movies all day with my family. In between the trip to California, preparing for this Saturday’s big event, shopping, cooking, cleaning, working-blah. Sometimes it just feels like too much. Nothing is really going wrong, it just feels like too much.
Plus, I’m back to not sleeping well. I have had some horrific dreams the past few nights. Last night I woke up at 11pm, wide awake and in complete shock at the dream I just had. I thought that part of my life was sufficiently buried in my subconscious, but apparently I was wrong.
Anyway, I’m trying to think positive, I really am. This morning while having my tea I reminded myself of all the positives in my life, and kept telling myself “Today is going to be a great day.”
We’ll see how it goes.
