Uhhh yea. . . we'll pretend that never happened

So I'm gonna just pretend that I haven't let two months roll by without an update. Why you ask? 'Cuz I gotsta. There is just too much to update people on, and truthfully this is my blog in all its glory and unglory and I'll do whatever I damn well please. Including run-on sentences and general incoherentness. Haha! Freedom!

Ok anyway. . .

It's pretty much craptastic out today. And well . . . it has been for the past three weeks basically. We're caught in some sort of rain/wind/coldness vortex that I sure as hell don't like. We had such gorgeous weather for the whole summer all the way into October, and then BAM! Craptasticness. And the stressful thing about it is I don't know what to wear. I can't fully commit to the sweater yet, but I sure can't wear short sleeves. AND, and, and I bought these great shoes at Payless. (Yes, I shop at payless. Got a problem with BOGO?)

I'll even show you the shoes











So my problem now is wearing these in the rain. Bah, life. Ahh well.

This rain also made our grass grow to about waste deep. And since Mr. Ellis likes to use old jury-rigged lawn mowers, he's the only one who can cut it. So yesterday, I sat him down during a short dry spell and said "Look it's going to rain all the rest of the week, you MUST mow the lawn before neighbors come and demand we move." I felt bad for him, but quite honestly there were moments of dryness where he could have gotten it done. Hopefully it's one of the last times we have to mow it this year.
