I have been watching the news and the hurricane that is hitting the north east is going to be a real doozy. There is a cold front down from the arctic as well that will make some of the rain turn to snow. That doesn’t happen often during a hurricane. I feel sorry for all the people who will be without power afterwards. They are going to have problems with the cold weather. I hope my family will keep safe.
New tracks
My little cousins band cut some new tracks of their very own. They sound great. I decided to give them a little helping hand and located a company for cd replication. We will replicate their cd and send it off to a few music companies and radio stations. Then we can see what kind of response they have. Hopefully they will love it as much as I do, and the kids can get a contract. I am crossing my fingers.
Pow wow
I took the kids to the Indian Pow wow this past weekend. We had so much fun and the kids learned so much. A friend of mine has a daughter who was the Pow wow princess this year and last year. The kids thought it was really neat that they knew someone who was actually in the ceremonies. They made me promise to bring them again next year. I told them that there would be another one in the spring and we would certainly go.
Charity event
The event planning for the Feed the Hungry charity we have here in our little town is well under way. I am on the planning committee with my mother and we have gotten so much done already. Our dinner is the first week of November, just in time for the holiday season when so many people need help. I know that it is a busy time of year for people, but making time to help others is worth it.
Center of the Earth
The kids are watching the Center of the Earth movie with Brendan Frasier. They are so funny. The fish in the movie scared them. My little guy started yelling and jumped about three feet into the air. I wish I had the camcorder out for that one. It would have made a great moment to save. I think I am going to have to keep it out more often.
Company koozies
My cousin ordered company koozies with his logo on it, for all of the employees. He also got enough to give away to clients as well. When he found out there were discount koozies available, he was so excited. He is like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to stuff like that. If he can slap his company logo on it, he will. It is a good thing though. He gets a lot of business because of it.
A little nervous
I have never chaperoned a dance before. I am not sure what to wear tonight. My son said some of the other parents will be wearing costumes, but I haven’t had time to buy mine yet. I suppose I will wear regular clothes, and just be there. I am sure that some of the parents will be as well. At least I hope they will.
Halloween dance
Well my son is going to his first dance. He is in middle school and the Halloween dance is tonight. Since there is a costume contest, I decided to be very creative with his costume and do some major makeup. I can’t wait to see how it turns out and I hope he wins the contest. I am chaperoning the dance, so I will get to see it all as it happens. I am so excited.
Home energy audit in New Jersey
If you have never had a home energy audit in new jersey, then you might want to get one soon. It helps tremendously with bringing down your energy bill and saves you a lot of money. They will come out and tell you exactly where your problem areas lie and you can even get assistance with home repairs. I had one done not too long ago and it has saved me a ton of money. You would not believe where leaks can occur, allowing your air to escape.
Weather you are heating or cooling, it can be expensive. One of the worst problems is with insulation. You can get insulation grants in NJ as well. Saving money on energy is one of the best ways to keep your bills down. Many people do not know that they can get help with this, and so don’t ever try. Spread the word about the home energy audits, and the grants so that people can take advantage of this and save money too.
Pumpkin patch
The kids want to take a trip to the pumpkin patch today. I am not sure we will have time for that today, but as they are off of school tomorrow as well, I think that it would be a good trip to keep them busy. We always make a trip to the pumpkin patch every year at this time. I can buy fresh homemade cider and the pumpkins we need for Halloween. On the way home, we usually buy their costumes as well. A great time is had by all.
