will it rain today?

famous lyrics from dave matthews band.

it's cloudy in carson.  rain cloudy.   i hope it rains today.

a life with out cable

we officially don't have cable anymore.  well...if you don't count the staticy cbs and abc channels.  it's different without t.v.  life is sure less noisy, more creative, and still.  i kind of like it.

i've been watching more movies lately, and have wiped off the dust of some vhs' as well.  

the hubby and i made s'mores last night.  mmm, those are good.  i mentioned that it would be cool to sit in front of a fire.  unfortunately, we don't have a fire place, plus it's still a bit too warm for one.  anyway, i turned to technology to help me with this one.  i watched a yule log fire on you tube while eating my s'mores.  dave thought it was boring, but i enjoyed it. haha...

@}------------------------------

i actually sold something on craig's list.  after many weeks of our stuff on there, someone finally said they wanted something.  heck yes!  i am proud.

today's

fall is here.  i'm pretty excited about it.  this season is my favorite of all the seasons.  the smells, the sights...it's awesome.  

i can't wait for those gingerbread lattes.  i think those come out at the end of fall.  a good way to end the season =o).

..................................................

i'm more content with life.  i know this is good.  i know this is the start to moving forward for me and my family.  

..................................................

we cancelled our cable last week, but we still get every channel that we got before (about 24.5 channels.  that's 24 and one half, not 245 for those who read that quickly =o).  hmm...maybe they forgot to turn it off, or turned someone else's off?  that would be sweet if we didn't get a bill for it.

...................................................

i'm pretty tired of hearing about the latest economy news and election ads.  by the way...i'm convinced those ads have some sort of subliminal message in them.  they sure get hailey's full attention.

hailey is almost crawling and pulling her self up.  babies grow up really fast. 

oh, to be a child again.

to do list

i was going through the blogs a few days ago, and i was reading noel's post on dream jobs.  that got me thinking what some of my dream jobs are. some would be: working at a quaint little book store, esthetician, parody song writer, hair model, barista, painter, nurse, and councilor to name a few.that got me thinking more and more about why people wait so long to do things they desire to do, whether it be a dream job, or maybe a new hairstyle, or traveling to a far off land.  it's probably fear, lack of money/time/education and other fill in the blanks.  

i want to be someone who isn't afraid of new things.  i 

want to explore the unknown in life and take on adventures with great joy.  and i will.

what kinds of things stop you from doing what you want to do?

here are some things i hope to do.

-move to reno and live in a sweet house

-take a vacation!

-travel to hawaii, spain, italy

-see a live taping of my girl, rachael ray

-get my web store up and running

-make my own curtains/clothes/and other things - but first get a sewing machine =o)

-dye my hair a crazy color

-own a cabin in the woods

-get my nose pierced

-get a tattoo

p.s. for all those barista wanna-be's:  maybe we should start our own coffee company!
