Random Notes

This week has been busy once again. Wednesday night I went to the casino to play Bingo... no luck. I did just about become physically ill when the number that I needed to win (61) was up, but someone Bingoed on the number before. Missing $500.
Yesterday, Fundi and I went to the Cities to get a Lasik Checkup. My vision is 20/15 !!! I used to have 20/1600 vision. It is so amazing and I am glad that I didn't wait any longer. Special thanks to Mom, Grandma E, Grandpa E, and Sister-in-law (for paying me to babysit). It took a while to save up the amount that I needed, but the results are just awesome.
I have this random desire that I have been trying to fill lately. I would love to be able to speak Spanish more fluently. I have been conjuring up words, phrases, sentences, commands, etc from the depths of my post-college brain. I am starting to remember more as I use more. I would love to be able to speak fluently with the people at the Mexican restaurants or if I run into someone that is a Spanish speaker, but I feel so self-conscious. I get all tongue tied, like trying to talk to a boy I liked in Junior High. Frustrating.
Captain is becoming such a little man. He is really starting to understand and listen to the things we tell him. He is becoming such a good helper (when he wants to be). Burbles is really getting to be a big girl too. She has started eating more solids and does a really good job when she is hungry. She is also enjoying playing more on the floor with the other kids.
Got some gourds yesterday. I am so excited to decorate for Harvest/Halloween. Got my Window Clings up already!

So excited about the improvement in your vision!!!! Do you guys ever get to Gays Mills? We used to go every year for the "Apple Tour" and get apples, apple doughnuts, cider, and our Halloween pumpkins. I miss it.
