HAPPY HALLOWEEN, part two.

You know how birds can explode when they eat too much rice.  I'm hoping the same goes for squirrels and pumpkins.  

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE EVERYONE!!!

Two Sick Boys

I've got too sick boys at my house right now.  One with a corneal abrasion and the other with abnormal bleeding.  Both are pathetic.

Work Schmurk

I'd like to give a shout out to all the unemployed out there. I know what you're feeling. But just remember the Fleitman family motto:
Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down!!!

I am part of a volunteering group called N2Books. It's the best way to volunteer when you travel a lot or you can't commit due to your schedule. Basically, an adult gets paired with a 3rd-5th grader during the school year; you read books together and then discuss via email. Andrew, my reading buddy, selected The Naked Mole-Rat Letters for us to read this month. As many of you know, James and I have had our fair share of rats this year. So I find it fitting that he picked this book. Thanks Andrew! As though I didn't know enough about your favorite animal!

Presidential Election

I'm so ready for this election to be determined and done with! Everyday when I eat lunch in the cafeteria at work the TV is always blaring CNN. Bla bla Obama; bla bla McCain....bla bla bla. It's not that I don't care, I just feel that the media has totally taken everything to the next level. I understand this is a historic election and the outcome will change our country tremendously. I get it. I'm just not sure the cost of Palin's jacket is really what I'm interested in. I need some unbiased facts, that's all.
I plan to go and vote tomorrow, (my third attempt to conquer the ridiculous lines).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, you damn squirrels.



Last Friday, James and I went to a pumpkin carving party at the Elgin's.  We carved two pumpkins, one in the shape of OSU and the other, a silhouette of Pistol Pete, (the artist of the two).  Well, we had a great time and brought our two pumpkins back to Ridgedale to show off to the neighborhood.  The next morning we went outside to do errands and noticed the squirrels had eaten HOLES in our pumpkins!  They took the lids too!  So here are our two deformed pumpkins, which are only getting worse as we speak.  By Halloween, I expect nothing but a couple of bowls and a bunch of fat squirrels.

So James Decided We Needed to Blog

So James said, "Why don't you blog, like the rest of your friends?"  
"Because I'm not as exciting as they are, I don't have anything to blog about."  
"Well, isn't it the other way around, you become exciting because you blog?"

So here it is, the Lynn family blog.  Enjoy.  Hopefully?
