I really love Amazon's wish list option. I'm trying to get everyone in our family to make a wish list for Christmas shopping. It makes it so much easier to see exactly what people want. I love to click through Amazon's different departments. It's almost as addicting as Pinterest. Anyway, while browsing through Amazon, I've discovered a few things I really don't want for Christmas.
* A musical toilet paperholder
*An electric meat slicer - It looks scary dangerous.
*An electric meat grinder - same as meat slicer
*A talking bathroom scale - It's bad enough to have to look at my weight without hearing it as well.
* A yodeling pickle (Yes, they have one on Amazon. No, it doesn't seem to be affiliated with Veggie Tales)
If you happened to have already bought any of these things for me, it's okay. When I open the gift, I'll tell you how much I love it and have always wanted it, unless it's a Conway Twitty cassette tape. In that case, the truth will prevail again.

Random Facts from our Day
Today is Tuesday. I had to think about that for a moment. I wasn't sure.
We all have colds. It sounds like a cough convention in this house.
I went grocery shopping, not my favorite thing. But ice cream was bogo so I did (buy one and get one, I mean) and we're having ice cream right now. Thanks to this cold, I can't really taste it, though.
I didn't cook supper. We ate leftovers from the refrigerator: sweet potatoes, gravy, peas, and an Italian chicken pasta dish that Jennifer brought over the other day. Jennifer's dish was the favorite.
Our library books are due tomorrow. We've already renewed them once online so we can't do that again. We'll have to return them or pay the fines.
Our camping trip was fun, in spite of the rain. We have pictures and someday we'll post them, maybe.
I had 2 black bananas lurking in the kitchen so I baked banana oatmeal muffins. I had oatmeal I needed to use up, too, so that killed 2 birds with one stone. They're pretty good. Phillip ate 2.
Laura had a good visit with my mom this morning. I feel encouraged for the first time in quite a while. We hoping to get a recliner to put in her room so she has somewhere comfortable to sit. She's either in bed or in her wheelchair most of the time.
The ticking clocks in here are driving me crazy. It's not a comforting sound to me. It sounds like a timer ticking down. I feel like I either need to hurry and finish some undefined task or get out quickly because something is going to explode.
Last random fact: Our jack-o-lantern is still on the front porch. My goal is to put it in the compost pile before Thanksgiving.

November
I'm glad October is over. It's usually a month filled with celebrations for our family. This October has been so hard. Now it's November, and I'm going to try to make it a month of truly being thankful even with all the hard things going on. There are so many good things but they get lost when I focus on just the difficulties of life. So for the next month, I'm making a special effort to appreciate the blessings of God in my life.
