I'm baking more oatmeal cookies right now, and they're not quite as good as the last batch. They taste just as good, but they don't look perfect this time. I should have known, though. It looks beautiful outside right now, but it was thundering last night, and there's a chance of rain tonight. Stupid humidity tortures my baking again!

Andy and Joseaphine are coming over in a bit to play. We might try to get the kites up - it's nice and windy this afternoon. Later on, I'm going to go visit Annie and little Douglas, and I can't wait to see him again! I'm baking these cookies just so Annie will have some milk-boostin' oatmeal goodness. I also need to remember to take her a few waterproof pads and such that we never use anymore.

I work my first lunch shift at Runza tomorrow, and I'm a bit nervous. I'm sure it will be fine, but I always get nervous before something new. I'm excited, though, and I know it will be fun. I've known these folks for over two years now, and it seems like someone from Runza is always at our house. They're a fun group, and I'm sure that will make the hours fly. I'm only working lunch each day, and three hours is practically nothing. :-)

I need to start some planning and decide whether or not we're going to have a Fall Party this year. We've always done a big shebang on Halloween or the night before, but I'm thinking a simple kids' party after school this year would be just the ticket. "Simple" is the key word, though - I have the hardest time keeping anything simple!
