First off this evening one of Peter’s episodes of Ben 10 is airing on Cartoon Network (7:30 EDST). This one has a character I named in it, Teraspin.
Last night Caroline and Fig had one of altercations that happens with pets especially the young ones. Fig jumped up into Caroline’s lap. Caroline picked Fig up but Fig didn’t feel supported so the claws come out and Caroline has 4 scratches on the fleshly part of her thumb. Caroline screams and the kitten freaks and tries to hide somewhere. I grab kitten and give her a time out in the bathroom. I clean up Caroline’s hand and put Neosporin on it after washing it thoroughly. This morning everything is pretty much back to normal.
Still picking up a few threads from last week including putting things back where they belong. Going to a convention, even locally, consists of a lot of packing and unpacking along with figuring out where the objects we have been given or obtained are going to go. Most of the objects this go round are books which can be easier to deal with than statues and toys.
Halloween is starting to loom on the horizon for me. I go all out for decorating. A number of families get their pictures taken in front of the graveyard I create every year. It is fun to see how the children have grown from year to year. I do enjoy a good Halloween.
The weather is changing. We had one heck of a rain storm last night and a lot of wind today. The temperature has dropped by 10 to 15 degrees from yesterday. No frost yet but doggone close.
Football! I will finally get to watch a weekends worth of football both college and professional. It is interesting to hear the pundits now as appose to the beginning of the season when they told us who would be on top of the heap. Most of their predictions were very off. Kansas City Chiefs? Tampa Bay Bucks? Who would have thought it. Farve and the Vikings not having the season they had last year. The Colts and the Saints are struggling a lot. Falcons are doing OK but not great. Then there is the college upset of last week. What is going to happen this week? Tune in.
Baseball is still being played but MBL is wringing its hands right now praying for the Yankees to play the Phillies. The Yankees at least will play nationally. But the Rangers? The Giants? Very limited fan bases. Although a Giants vs. Yankees would also work since it is both coasts. Worst-case scenario for them is Rangers vs. Phillies.
Has basketball started yet? I know hockey has ( lot of hockey fans in my bowling league).
Caroline is enjoying second grade. It can take her a little but to settle in, but it seems that she has done so and is now thriving. She is reading more and more. Right now she is reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and all the Muppet stories that are based on classic literature along with other books some new and some old favorites. It is amazing how much she is able to read. Math is something that she is figuring out. I wish I could give her my math brain so she could see how easy it is. I do what I can when helping her with her homework.
Catching up on Project Runway today. I finally got to see the episode I missed with Mondo and his pattern revelation. Wow, that was very brave of him. Now onto last nights episode. I will say that the expanded format has allowed for the designers to be a little more three-dimensional. I also hope that they keep the design your own fabric challenge.
Onto other things today. So glad we are not going anywhere this weekend other than local if that. I am so ready not to travel.
I am grateful that I added to the Ben 10 universe.
