Well folks, say hello to the end of the year. Because you know that once Halloween is over the year flies by at astonishing speed.  It's just the way it's always been. There is nothing you can do to change it. Believe me. I've tried.

The best thing to do is just give in and embrace the madness.

I  made a free wallpaper for you to download to help you ease into November.

mother me

My mom is coming into town tonight. She lives in a different state and let me tell you, I really miss having her close. She hasn't seen Frankie Valentine since we brought him home from the hospital. She's dying to get her hands on his squishiness.

I've been in a bit of a funk lately and I'm hoping that she will be just the thing I need to get back in my groove. Moms always make you feel better. Unless you are sick in the nurse's office. Then, when your mom finally shows up to take you home you fall apart. After all, the whole class saw you throw up. After an incident like that you can hold it together for the school nurse, but not for your mother.

I'm going to ask my mom to make me some of her chicken noodle soup.  I'll set the table and fill the glasses with water. Just like old times.

Sometimes you just need your mom.  When mothering gets tough, you just need your mom.

Because I love all you readers (really I do, I'm not kidding, you keep me blogging and blogging keeps me sane) I'm offering another wall paper for November. This one has a calendar which is kind of delightful, if not overdone.

Completely free to download here.

going going gone

Holy crap. Do you realize after today there will only be ten days left in October?  That's like, just a little more than one week.  I can't believe it.  This has been the fastest passing month in the history of me. Which is saying a lot. I'm thirty-six you know. I've been through 438 months and this one is the fastest to date.

I'd really like to get to the bottom of the time space continuum. But considering I suck at math (had to use a calculator to figure out how many months I've lived) and I have a hard time with abstract concepts, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

You might also find it interesting to note that this month contained one of the longest days of my life wherein Frankie Valentine screamed for six of the seven hours it took to drive to St. George to finalize his adoption.  You'd think the kid didn't like us or something.  Too bad for him.  He's stuck with us.

I've been sketching up a storm in my free time, which isn't much, but I make do.  I thought I'd offer a freebie here on Suaviloquy.  I know I've really slacked on the paper dolls, and I promise to do better, but for now I give you a wall paper for your computer.  It's an early (but not really all that early) November present.  Enjoy.
