Gassing up the Halloween lights.
Sep. 22nd, 2005 11:17 pmI filled up the car with gas last night. It wasn't empty yet, no, as we're smack in the middle of a pay period, and one tank conveniently also does seem to last us 2 weeks usually. However, the threat of of raised prices in preparation for Hurricane Rita extends everywhere, so it was a smart bet to get gas. I filled up the tank at 2.47/gal at the base gas station, and the price did indeed go up today.
*sigh*
Last night I called a new friend I'd met at the park when the boys and I strolled down there last week, and I invited her to our Parents at Home group this morning. Her name is Heather, and she called me back last night at 11:30pm to tell me that she would love to go! I picked her up and her son Korbin up this morning, and then Jack and I introduced them to the church and the group. She joined me in my care circle, and she seemed to have a really good time. Later on after we dropped them off back at their home, Jack told me all about all the different things he'd shown Korbin how to play with. ;-)
The weather was absolutely gorgeous today - so breezy and pleasant! I took advantage of that time to get into the shed and get things out for Halloween. I'd already decorated for fall in general, but today I added all of the Halloween decor. I put the stakes in the ground for the lights that line the driveway, but I decided to wait to actually put the lights on them and in them bushes until early next week. I'm not yet sure about the roof lights - I'll admit that I'm a bit tempted to climb on the roof myself, but I realize that it wouldn't be a very smart move, really... no other adults around to call 911 when I fall and break my arm (or worse) again, plus the kids aren't tall enough to toss me each new light strand, either.
A mini-trailer for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire showed tonight during a commercial break before ER. I was elated to catch my first glimpse of it on television, and I saw a few scenes that hadn't already been highlighted in the official trailer released last week. *squeee*
