Carving pumpkins

Saturday Night we carved pumpkins using stencils. I think they turned out awesome.

Nothing much new

I guess I don't have much to talk about lately.
Life is busy doing the same ol stuff, work and doing the running for gymnastics.
Enjoying all the beautiful colors of all the trees and bushes.
This fall is turning out to be very colorful.

Lyrics

Little girl alone on the playground
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
Wishin' she was invisible
To them

She ran home cryin'
"Why do they hate me?"
And Mama wiped the tears and said
"Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful.
So, hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl."

At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
She was never gonna be one of the boys, no
She coulda gave up on her ambition
And spent the rest of her life just wishin'
Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'

"Hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl."

Oh, with style and grace
Kick ass and take names

Ten years of climbin' that ladder
Oh, but money and power don't matter
When the doctor said "the cancer spread"
She holds on tight to her husband and babies
And says "this is just another test God gave me.
And I know just how to handle this"

I'll hold my head high
I'll never let this define
The light in my eyes
Love myself, give it Hell
I'll take on this world
If I stand and be strong
No, I'll never give up
I will conquer with love
And I'll fight like
Like a girl

Ooh

I love Fall

Boy, I just had to say it. It is my favorite time of year. I love all the beautiful colors on the trees and the smell of Pumpkin Muffins baking in the oven. Nothing much new with me but just had to share my feelings about Fall. The time of the year makes me HAPPY!!

A Great Find

Last week the school I work at had a rummage Sale.

I have always wanted a Le Creuset Cast Iron Dutch Oven but never could swallow the cost of them. I saw it from afar, went up to it and scooped it up for $20.oo. Here is a pix of it only it is dark Green. I know it is a discontinued color, but who CARES...it is my favorite color.

I feel lucky to have found it!
