9/11 and Planning my Halloween Party! Day 10

First off...today is the 13th anniversary of 9/11. Patriots Day. As a strong supporter of the Military...with many friends and family active and veterans...I salute you. I was working at the Radisson Hotel and Casino across from Green Bays Airport when the terror struck. With the airport closed down suddenly and us being so close, we were quickly over filled with travelers. We had people sleeping in the chairs in the hallway, and we kept the restaurant open for 24 hours. It was a crazy and hectic day for everyone. Yet we all can probably remember where we were, what we saw, and how we felt. And 13 years later...here we are. Alive and thriving! Trying to live life to the fullest, but never forgetting those 2, 996 lives that were lost. May the 2,977 rest in peace, while the 19 hijackers rot in whatever hell they believe in!

Now...a positive note...

Today was a perfect day. After my last post I watched two full episodes of Revenge while refilling my incredible comforting hot bath...went to bed and slept for 8 hours...STRAIGHT! That was the first time I have slept that long in a long time. It was amazing. The weather was a balmy 58* in my house, and with 6 blankets on the bed it was great. It definitely helped keep me sleeping. Bring on the snow!!!

I have also been talking to Janelle and now I definitely want to have a Halloween party. I finally have a place that has the room to host it. I will love to decorate the basement up for the kids party and the upstairs for the adults. Depending on the weather...maybe something in the backyard too!

However with me working weekends (as of now), and Halloween falling on a Friday this year, I have decided to have the party the Sunday after (November 2). I figure it is easier for me to get a Sunday night off, Halloween decorations will be on clearance, AND the Packers have a BYE that Sunday! SCORE one for me!!!

With the lack of Facebook, I have "reconnected" with Pinterest. I'm super excited to have this idea and I can't wait to get started! So keep the date open! And feel free to send any ideas my way. Don't be surprised if the rest of the blog will be craft updates :D :D :D
