• Will someone please go upstairs and turn off the water hose? I mean really... 2 straight weekends of rain... rain... and oh, yeah... rain... I know it could be worse... it could be those damn monsterous hurricanes *sigh*
• Found another "new" restaurant... Buck's Naked BBQ in Freeport... four words... FRIED PICKLES ARE YUMMY!!... omg, I think I am addicted!!... and the pulled pork!
• I have managed to get some of my friend's wedding pictures sorted, touched up and ready for printing... they are actually better than I had thought... I didnt know until 2 days before the wedding that her aunt is a professional photographer (she wont take pics for family anymore after one family member whined and complained too much)... anyway, I saw the pics she took... ummm... Im not trying to have a huge ego or anything but if that is what is considered professional I have no worries whatsoever...
• the leaves are already starting to change color!! Yipppeee!! I am so excited! I cannot wait to get out and take some pictures!!
• Im disappointed in the Bangor Visitors Bureau... I stumbled across what I thought would be an awesome Halloween tour and submitted my request 2 weeks ago to order tickets... I just checked online last night and they are sold out!... ummm, hello!... a phone call or email reply would have been nice... oh, it was the Tommyknockers bus tour and they take you around to all the Stephen King related sites in the area and past his house... ah, screw them!... I have his address and I pretty much know where the tour goes so we can do this ourselves! Hmmph!
• I found a couple really cool sites for booklovers www.goodreads.com and www.bookcrossing.com

• and if you feel like ohh'ing and ahhh'ing be sure to visit www.cuteoverload.com

***UPDATE***

Please keep my family and friends in your prayers... most of my family/friends live in the Cincinnati/Dayton, Ohio  area and I just learned that they sustained serious damage in a storm Sunday... most are without power for who knows how long... and I still have not heard from my cousin in Texas *sigh*
