Week of October 15

Just another ho-hum week over here!  That's good though.  We don't need a whole lot of excitement sometimes!

I decided to harvest all of my basil.  I picked at them so much at the beginning that they are all a little funky shaped and lopsided.  I don't know how they will do during the winter being in that window either.  So instead of risking them all dying, I decided to dry them in the dehydrator and just keep one plant.  That way we will have plenty of basil for now and I can always buy another 20 cent pack of seeds next spring.  And, now I can see my cute little plants in the window sill that are hiding behind all of that foilage. And I can sew without dead leaves falling on my stuff and sticking to my socks.  :-) 

Friday night when I got home from work and got comfy, Caleb told me not to get too comfy because we were going out that night.  I asked him where and he said that he needed some cereal from wal-mart.  Mhmm.  Really, he had been finding all of these orange leaf coupons in all of his stuff and had the wonderful idea of taking me there!  He blamed me for all of the coupons, but where would I have gotten that many orange leaf coupons??  Also, how would I have snuck them in his backpack, his lunch box, his books, the refrigerator, the cabinets, his pillow case,  his laptop, his shorts pockets, etc?  I could never pull that off.  Nope.  (this isn't even all of them.)

I mentioned last week about my whole eye doctor fiasco.  My sister-in-law texted me after she read that and told me about how she just went to America's Best Eyeglasses and how it was really affordable.  I made an appointment for this past Saturday.  They are definitely super affordable!  The doctor informed me that my eyes only changed a tiny bit.  He said I don't need to get new glasses and wont even notice the change in my contacts.  He said my new prescription is one click less in one eyeball than my old one.  Once I get my trial set of contacts I'll see how right he is.  I'm contemplating asking for a second opinion because I'm still not too sure that I don't need more of a prescription change.

Caleb and I went to Goodwill on Saturday and found some treasures....and this is how we spent our Saturday night.  Connect 4!  We got it for a dollar.  And I'm red by the way.  This was the one and only game that I won.

I also got these pants at Goodwill.  I've been wanting some skinny khaki pants but I was having a hard time finding some.  And I'm really cheap, so that doesn't help either.  I got these pants for $4 at goodwill.  Also, please note that I put these pants on solely for the purpose of taking this picture.  I do not wear red and khaki together for the fun of it.  Ever.

And this is the final product! Overall I like them.  :-)

So, how about that hurricane?
