We did end up going back to the pumpkin patch this morning, and Nick had a great time! We were there for about an hour, and the weather was just great. He picked a couple of little gourds (his "maracas") to take home, and now it remains to be seen how long they'll last under his constant abuse. :) Today, a package arrived from Grandma and Grandpa in VA, containing a cool pair of pajamas, a couple of race cars, and a black cat flashlight that meows. Cool! Nick was very pleased about that. What a lucky kid, to get random packages full of love.
The rest of our day was pretty lazy. I checked the tires and fluids in the cars and exercised (after lots of procrastination and a fierce internal struggle, but what's new?). Brian put together the computer desk chair that we recently purchased at Target, and I sat in it and immediately realized that it was uncomfortable, so he has to disassemble it and we'll return it. It makes me so mad - in the store, the "floor" model was bolted up onto a shelf, so there was no way to sit in it and see if we liked it. I was loathe to buy it without trying it out, but we liked the look of it and decided to take a chance. Won't do that again. How lame is that - to sell things like desk chairs and not even give people the chance to sit in them? Grrrrrrrrr. Logic apparently has no place in this world anymore.
Our big fun this evening consisted of a pajama party: we all put on our PJs and ate popcorn together whilst watching Lawrence Welk. Mock us if you must, but that's our idea of a good time! :)
I'm pretty pumped, because Tim is finally coming tomorrow! Yay! He'll stay until Tuesday or possibly Wednesday, so we'll still have a pretty substantial visit. We don't have any big plans besides the choral concert in Rolla - we might cook/bake something yummy, and I'm thinking of making these neat ghosts to line the sidewalk. I'm sure we'll make at least one trip to WalMart, as that's the main form of entertainment here. :) I'm also going to enlist his help in crafting a Christmas present for a friend of mine who shall remain unnamed.
That's about all I have to say tonight. Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

That IS annoying about the chair. And after all the effort of putting it together, too. What a maahfaahn!! (Sorry, that is Cantonese for "major pain in the rear end." When you say it with nasal tones, as it is supposed to be said, there is just no other word that sounds better for what you are trying to say.)
I hope you and Tim have a blast!!! And let me know what yummy treats you make. I am always looking for fun, good recipes.
Say hi to Timmy! Not to gloat, but we have a Target in Manhattan, in addition to Walmart. And a mall too with a Bath and Body Works and a Payless! Yay!
