WATCHING DWTS ON MONDAY NIGHT

This is going to be a hectic couple of days for me.  I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon, and tomorrow we're hosting our camera club for a bonfire and weenie roast.  We do this every October, and everyone really enjoys it, but it always stresses me out to make sure that I have everything I need, and making sure tha the food and dessert is good, etc.  I love get togethers with my camera club friends, but I feel inadequate at being a hostess  I'll be sooooo glad when tomorrow night is over!!  My husband is also getting ready to leave the next day for South Dakota to go pheasant hunting, so I'm trying to make sure that the laundry is up-to-date, and he has enough clean underwear and T-shirts.  I don't care about his hunting clothes, because apparently they wear the same clothes to hunt in the whole time they're out there.  I'm sure they all smell lovely towards the end of the week.  LOL!   When he comes home, I just dump all of his yucky clothes into the washer while I breathe through my mouth.

Of course, while he's gone, I intend to relax, scrap some, watch TV some and read Book 2 of the "Hunger Games" - "Catching Fire".  It's about as good as the first one.  I'll have almost a week to do what I want.

Did I mention that our house is being overrun with mice?  Well, it is - I hate those little critters!!  The weather has gotten colder, and the pasture right behind us has just been plowed, so the mice are trying to move indoors.  While we had our Maine Coon cat for 4 years, we never even saw a mouse, but now she's gone, and I guess the mice have figured it out.  Right now the house looks like a mine field full of mouse traps!  I shall remain vigilant until the last furry fiend has been eliminated.....

I ACTUALLY HIT THE GYM AGAIN TODAY.

I felt well enough to go back to the gym with my friend Eloise.  Today was our last visit with our "personal trainer", a darling young man named Robby.  He has been so good about getting us revved up and going, but then we found out that it would cost us an extra $140/month to continue to have him continuing to rev us up once a week, so now we are on our own.  He did give us a pretty good idea on what equipment we needed to work on, so that was helpful.  They're showing "The Hunger Games" in the treadmill movie theatre, so I think I'm going to have to go for the next three days to be able to see the whole movie.  Actually, my husband and I watched it the day after it came out on DVD, and, I must say, it kind of creeped me out to see kids killing kids.  It was an exciting movie, but the subject matter was GROSS!  I hope my grandson doesn't go see it.  He's only 14, and I think he's too young for such gruesomeness.  I know many people disagree with me, but it's one thing to read a book about the subject, and quite another to see the violence in vivid color right in front of you.  That being said, I do intend to read the books - strange huh??
