Makes me think of you.

Blacklisted and Black Fingered
We went camping at the beginning of the month. It was so beautiful. October is a lovely time for camping.
I slammed my finger in the car door, because I'm a dork and I do things like that, and it looks so ugly. I'm going to lose my fingernail before too long here. Should be really cute. I go through this cycle where I get mad at myself for not being cuter, more "put-together"... and then I realize that besides not having the budget or the time for being cuter, I just really feel like it won't make a difference. I'll just have a black and purple fingernail and a muffin top and weird hair even if I spend more time and money on it all, so why bother?
I was blacklisted at the library this week. My card was rejected when I tried to go through the self-check. Which is the most awesome thing. I love pretending to be the librarian and checking out my own books. Brings me back to my childhood. So anyway that made me feel like a loser. I had too many fines and a book that was like 2 months overdue. I had tossed it in my D.I. bag. Oops. Luckily I hadn't taken the bag to the D.I. yet so I could just fish it out. And I paid my fines, and I'm off the blacklist. Until next time.
Brittney had her first debate tournament Thursday night. She did impromptu and came home with a trophy, so it went pretty well. I'm glad to have a kid in debate again. Debate kids are a cute crowd. Love them and all their little suits and ties and files full of facts. Courtney and I are going to judge together at a tournament in December. Gonna be awesome.
Sean is almost ready to go deer hunting. He told me that it's just he and Josh this year. His dad doesn't want to go anymore I guess. He told me, "I think he's tired of me yelling at him. But I don't blame myself for yelling at him!" That just made me laugh. As much as Sean loves his dad, he and his dad clash sometimes really bad, and Sean isn't great at holding in his feelings at those times. His dad bosses him around, and he gets frustrated and yells at him. But the two of them are getting really excited to go.
I'm getting really excited for the Trace Adkins concert this weekend. I really, really want to find a new outfit, but I'm having difficulties. Boo.
