Magic or The Force?
On Monday someone at work mentioned that they were having a discussion with their daughter about The Force and Harry Potter Magic. I decided to pose the question myself via facebook. For those that missed the conversation that ensued I have posted it below. As you will notice, it became primarily a discussion between my siblings and me.

Decorating
It has taken me a long time to decide what colors to paint in our house but I finally decided for our family room and living room.
Now that we have painted I can't believe how boring it was before.
I was able to find a great rug for the family room too. It feels much warmer and cozier. I know what I am going to do the on the wall for photos but haven't taken the time to do it yet.
I wasn't sure if I posted a photo with our drapes yet so I included that as well.

Just Keepin' it Real
I have been trying to decide, for the last 5 min, how to phrase this blog. Not sure why I am even writing it other than sometimes I just want to get things out in the open. Sorry Maddy, there won't be any photos so I guess since this is more than two sentences you won't be reading but the fact is, you inspire me to write these things.
I know that usually I write about all the fun we are having. But everyone should know, that even though I smile and am very happy, there is sometimes a part of me that is very bitter and afraid. Yep, it's true.
Of what you might be asking your self...or probably are saying, What the crap? I am done with this blog post.
I am afraid of being in a group and not having someone to talk with. I have serious social phobia. Shocking to some I know. It is a struggle for me to go into groups without knowing I will 100% have someone to be there to talk with me and really does like me. For example, my class reunions. I have never gone and right now, don't think I will ever go, because they scare me. Sure some of you went to high school with me but that doesn't mean you don't have other friends you will be hanging out with since I didn't really hang out all that much in high school with you and those I did, I don't talk with. (This problem was started in high school though. By my senior year, I didn't do much with anyone.) I don't like being a loner, but it just happened and it scares me.
I go to church activities. I usually find one person who is willing to talk with me and I try to stay near them the entire time then I leave.
I really do try to go out of my way to make friends and meet people. I try not to be the one that hides in the corner cause I really don't like to be there but I am scared of people and feel like I don't have anything to contribute to the conversation.
Bitterness. I have bitterness too, I guess it goes hand in hand with the social thing...I get bitter when I am left out of things. I could talk in circles though because I get bitter because I am left out of things but I don't always go because I am scared and then people don't invite me because I don't go and the circle just continues. So really if I don't come to things, sometimes it is because I am busy but just as often, if not more it is because I am scared.
The moral of the story - I know I need to get over myself. Sometimes though, I just want to rant. Just Keepin' it Real.

Autumn
Autumn is my favorite time of year. The days are still warm, if not hot and the nights are good for sleeping. Except my neighbors make too much noise at 5 am so I still am sleeping with the air-conditioning on. Heaven forbid I get hot at night.I love the color of the leaves. But I do NOT like the sun southern in the sky. This makes me sad. I can feel the impending winter.
I love Halloween and fall decorations. This year I got started early on Halloween.
I also made a fun fall decoration I plan to leave up until the day after Thanksgiving, when the Christmas decorations go up.
Great news too, I have had these for almost a week and I haven't finished the candy corns yet.
Au Naturale
I decided to see what my hair would do if left on it's own....
Yeah, it's getting creepy long. Just in time for Halloween I suppose.

Fluffy Friend
We have some hummingbirds who fight over our food all the time. The other day one was hanging out on the shepherd's hook where the feeder is hung.
I had no idea humming birds could be so fluffy.

Rain Rain
Go away and come again some other day. Preferably when I am not walking home from church.
We actually left church early this day. Apparently Heavenly Father was not happy with our decision. The rain stopped as we walked into the house. And it was blowing from the left...obviously.

Night at the Drive-In
We decided to go to our local Drive-In.
It was SOOOO much fun. 
When I became restless, like I always do during a movie, I just moved from my chair to the back of the car and then back again. 
We saw Knight and Day, a great movie I might add. The second movie was Eclipse. 
We really wanted to stay but it was already 11:30 and we had to get up the next morning to pick up our Bountiful Basket at 6:30. Our Drive In doesn't show rated R movies. We got their about an hour early so we could get a good spot. We took books so we could just chill and read for a bit. I didn't get much reading done because I was too busy checking things out.
They change movies every week. Sometimes a movie is there for 2 weeks but never at the same time. It gives it a nice mixture. I hope we are able to go again this summer. 
The place had a ton of people so I assume it is like that all the time and that they will be in business for awhile to come.

Bountiful Basket #2
I have only purchased 2 Bountiful Baskets They are only available in my area every 2 weeks and last week we decided not to purchase one. We are throwing out a ton of food really. Reason #1 cause it is just too much for only 2 of us. reason #2 there is some stuff we just won't eat.
For our second week this is what we received:
2 heads romaine lettuce
1 watermelon
6 plums
7 peaches
1 brocliflower
2 English cucumbers
1 bag Yukon gold taters
1 back black seedless grapes
bananas
2 tomatoes
6 ears corn
and a pineapple
Of the things we did eat, they were great! Again though, I wish they did local.

Summer Storm
We have had one storm after another lately. I think it was last weekend we were driving home and saw this down the street....
That storm cell didn't actually hit us. About an hour later we heard the rain coming down louder than our tv. Of course we had to check it out and so did the neighbors. Seeing as I don't have children to teach out to play in the gutter, I taught the next door neighbor's children how to do it.
