Happy Halloween... Why do I keep thinking about The Walking Dead show???

~

A son any mother can be proud of... Happy Halloween to my son, Jeremy, here's hoping for SOME good memories!  He's gonna be here for Halloween, hopefully, if SuperStorm Sandy doesn't mess with his flight, and we're going to the parade for the World Series winners, the San Francisco Giants.  Go team!  I'm so excited to see him!

 Ohh maybe this is why I keep thinking about the Walking Dead... my son's eyes are creeping me out!

Aurora, Colorado

SonOne used to live in Aurora, Colorado, and I did not know if he still lived there when he bought his new house.  I turned on the news this noon and saw the story about the shooting at the Batman movie premiere. 

This is how my brain worked.

Hmmmm.  Aurora.  That sounds familiar.  Hmmm Outside Denver.  Yeeps I know this place.  Jeremy lives there.  Or does he?  I don't know where his new house is located.  Regardless, he is there or nearby.

I texted him. 

"Are you there?"  

No answer. 

Me:  hmmm he texted me last night with a "Hi !", at 11:15ish my time, which is 12:15ish his time.  We texted back and forth a couple of times and then just quit.  The shooting happened at midnight.  Was he happy cause he was at the movies???  Totally feasible. 

Oh man, he's dead cause he hasn't answered. 

Not two minutes had passed.  I called him.  He answered. 

Me:  Are you okay? 

He:  Laughs.  "Yes".  He said he and his friend, who had just recently moved there, had had several phone calls asking if she was okay, and he hadn't had any phone calls, and was getting a chuckle out of it when I called. 

Me:  Well, I texted the second I heard.  So you're okay? 

He:  Yes. 

Me:  K.  I love you.

He:  love you too. 

I hung up in a hurry cause my heart hurt from beating too fast.  This mothering gig doesn't ever get easier. 

Now that I think about it, what if I didn't tell him I loved him?  Habit is habit and I don't remember.

Jeremy, I LOVE you.  Love, love, love you.  Please don't ever go to the movies.  Thankyouverymuch.

Thanksgiving 2011

Jeremy and I had "the other white meat"... pork, for our Thanksgiving dinner.  With mashed potatoes, skin left on (ick), and stuffing, cranberry sauce, yams and pumpkin pie.  Easy peasy enough.  And cleaning up for his arrival only took about an hour.  I am LOVING studio living more and more.  I thought cooking a major meal in such a tiny kitchen would be awful, but it was actually easier.

;

Chop chop chop, scoop into the pot.


Also, I have no idea why there's a fire hazard on the stove. 

And... I have no idea why I'm chopping celery all over the place. 

And the only reason I can think of why I took a picture of the garbage is to show that I can chop chop chop, and then slide the scraps right into the garbage.

I am truly confused as to why I took so many pictures of my kitchen.  To tell the truth, I found this in my "Draft" folder, of Thanksgiving.  2011.  I forgot to post it, and obviously forgot the point of the pictures. 

I do remember wanting to remember what I served for dinner.  Which was taken care of in the first paragraph...

Finally.  The damn celery is in the pot.

Last, but not least, (evidently) is a picture of my scrap bucket....
