I braved the cold, wind, and rain for over an hour with my son for trick or treat tonight. Now, I'm sitting here pigging out on candy! I am powerless to resist the deliciousness of all this chocolate! Sigh.

Day One Done
Well, my first day of orientation for my new job went pretty well. I got my training schedule and it looks like I will be working either 7:30 am- 4:30 pm or 8 am - 5 pm (depending which location I am at that week) Monday - Friday through the week before Christmas. Of course all of the locations I'll be at are at least 45 minutes away. :-/ I just need to make it through the next couple of months of a full time schedule then I'll be contingent and can make my own schedule!

Random
The other day, my younger daughter and I went to the garden store near our house to pick out a couple of mums for our mumkins.

Anyway, the older sister of one of my daughter's friends happens to work there and when she saw my daughter, she came over to say hello. She was going on and on about something while looking back and forth from me to my daughter. When she finished her story, she barely took a breath before blurting out "wow, you two look a lot alike". I seem to hear that a lot from people about both of my girls. I always take it as a compliment, of course. They, perhaps, don't as much. ;-)
Last Saturday was homecoming for my oldest. Here are a couple of pics she was able to get before the dance with some of her friends. The second one is kind of blurry because it was taken with someone's crappy phone camera:
She is growing up way too fast for my liking!

14 miles...not too bad, I guess.
I've been pretty lazy about getting to the gym, but I've been doing a lot of walking and bike riding instead while the weather is still nice. Today I walked 8 miles then came home and rode my bike around 6 miles. Once the weather gets too cold I'll have to make myself get back to the Y!
Tomorrow I'm working the flu clinic again and then I may do a little shopping. I really want a fuzzy North Face jacket! :)

Boys will be boys, I suppose.
Yesterday morning, I had to go pick up my son from school because he hit his head on some playground equipment and got a big goose egg on his dome. He didn't fall, which I was originally told by the school. Apparently he and some of his friends were playing a game and they were tackling someone and his head got banged against the thing (for lack of better terminology; not sure what it's called). Anyway, this morning, it looked much better and the swelling had gone way down.
Today I am going with him and the other third graders on their field trip to the library. It is only about a half of a mile from his school, so we are walking there. Should be fun.
Tomorrow is my daughter's volleyball tournament.
Monday, I am working my first event with my per diem job since last spring. I'll be back at the big company we did a lot of events for last year that I thought we were no longer working with. Apparently I was misinformed. I think it is a flu clinic, which will mean giving flu shots for 4-5 hours. That's okay though, it's super easy money. Almost makes up for having to get up early and be there at 7:30 am. ;) I just got an invitation to work it again on Tuesday. I'm still deciding if I'm going to accept that one. Christmas is coming though, so a little extra money isn't such a bad thing!

Serving
This week is the last one for regular season volleyball. Saturday, tournaments begin. Last night, my girl served. She isn't one of the team's regular servers because at the beginning of the season, she had trouble getting her serves over the net. She has come a long way this season and I am very proud of all her hard work. Here she is serving the last 4 points to win the first set for her team. (The last one comes back over and hits, but the other team faulted in sending it back over, so it didn't count.) They lost the second set, but came back and won the third, for the game. It was definitely a good game to watch. :)
