Pumpkin time

Yesterday Andrew and I carved pumpkins. It was the first time in a long time that I have carved one and let me tell you it was way different than I remember.

First off Andrew requested gloves to clean the "guts" out...... what I remember was the fun of pulling all the slimy "guts" out
There was a left over carving kit here at my house from last year when andrew and his dad carved one. I told andrew that he could pick one of the patterns or desgin his own! He chooses design his own. I am like sweet we will carve some eyes, mouth, and nose......he ask me to do one of the patterns I say ok Ill try one.

Well andrew was drawing his design on his pumpkin and then asked me to help carve it. I go over and look...holy crap that is no eyes, ears, and mouth it was a very intracite design.....but it turned out fairly well


As for mine...well I tried to do this skeleton thing and it is ok, but I think that it will be better when it is dark.......I am going for the plain simple pumpkins the next time!!!! to much work with these crazy patterns

Go away

I just want the political ads to go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only have 3 tv channels and if I have to hear these ads anymore I may just poke my eyes out

not only is it the presidential here in mn but there is a senate race and those are worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Please please Nov 4 come soon



Edit:So I have decided that if I am watching tv everytime a political ad comes on I am going to do push up or sit-ups during it. Either I will be buff by the time the election is over or I will stop watching tv

Dreary Day

Thats what today is....it is rainy and probably cold outside, one of those days where you have to have lights on in the house on in the house during the middle of the day because it is so dreary outside...I was hoping for a nice sunny day today


oh yeah I forgot to mention the other day that Hil@ry Clint0n came to hibbing the other night......Im not big into politics or anything but I figure how often do I get a chance to see someone like that in Hibbing...so I went with my brothers GF it was pretty cool to go to. dont know if I would go again but now I can say that I have seen Hil@ry in person in Hibbing MN

Internet

I have internet at my house!!!! who hooo!!!!


I have been busy doing little things here and there around my house, visiting people and enjoying the fact that it isn't quite winter here yet!! The first time that I have been back in Minnesota before the middle or end of Nov in a long time.

Back in MN

yep I am back in MN..... I got back friday night, but don't have internet hooked up at home yet. Internet is expensive these days. I just don't know how they charge so much for internet oh well. I decided to go with just internet and no cable.....not saving much but saving some.


so I know I still have to update more about my trip back to MN but am waiting til I have internet at home so that I can add more pictures and take my time writing it up

What know you may ask...well I am going to be busy getting my house in order and doing little projects around there.... I am sure that I will find plenty to keep me busy

Journey part 1

So here is the recap of what I have been doing since I got done with work

Day 1: I was still in fairbanks and it was slowly starting to turn into winter so a group of us decided to go and soak in the water at Chena H0tsprings...it was a nice soak....after we got out of the water we saw a moose just hanging out right by the hotsprings (see photo) and then afterwards we went to the hotsprings bar had a couple of beers and then headed down the road to another resturant to have some dinner.... yum yum Moose hanging out at the hotsprings


Day 2: was spent at brunch with a bunch of people from work, finally packing my car and then watching movies

Day3: Well it was time to head off to Denali....my friend Ben decided to come along with me and being that he lives where his phone doesn't work we didn't plan all that much but it all worked out well. We decided to drive Ben's truck down to the park, since he had his dog ike and with all my stuff in the car we decided that it would be best to take the truck. So off we went
We leave fairbanks and all of a sudden we are in a winter wonderland..yes there was some snow in fairbanks but not nearly as much as there was as we got into the mountians. We went to the park and went to get a pass only to find out that the road into the park was already closed for the witner......( during the tourist season you can only drive to mile 3 and then you have to take a shuttle bus in the rest of the way, during non peal you can drive to mile 30 which was what our plan was) so being that the road was closed we decided to head over to teh Den@li highway which is a dirt road that was the original road to the park. We drove a little and then picked out a place to go and take a hike...here are the pictures from that hike/day

Back

Im back into the world of computer access, done sleeping in my car for a few days....but not home yet


I am currently in WA visiting my sister!


Stay tuned for the adventures of my trip so far...there are lots of them and I took lots of pictures
