Just put on a little lipstick...

Nothing like Cary on the big screen The Franklin Theater has been restored and is open for business. They did a great job of restoration and they are showing some classic movies on the weekends and admission is only $5.00. The theater is also hosting live music and theater nights.  If you go, make sure you meet Henry - a wonderful man who introduces the movies and never forgets a face!

My work territory includes Lawrenceburg, TN. This also happens to be where Allison, one of my childhood friends lives. Amber, another childhood friend lives 20 minutes or so from Lawrenceburg. So...Amber met me in Lawrenceburg and we drove over to the school where Allison is a first grade teacher and surprised her! I wish I had taken a photo of her face when she saw us walk up to her door. She screamed and burst into tears. After much hugging, we headed to Dairy Queen for sundaes and to catch up. Then I headed to Florence to Amber's house for a slumber party complete with delicious Mexican food and a scary movie. I love my lifetime friends!

Jenni and Thomas     I didn't dress up this year, but Jenni was black widow, and Josh's girls were princesses. We spent the evening at the Spears annual Halloween chili night and trick or treating. Here's some photos!   Morgan, Anna and Emri   Sophie Spears   Elijha Spears

I am intrigued by the National Novel Writing Month . The challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It's supposed to get your creative juices flowing and you hopefully come out of it with a first draft at a piece of literature. The challenge is to write 1,700 words each day. I've been reading a book called " No plot, no problem " and they help you prepare for this challenge. Since today is day 1, I am not sure I will make it this year, but I wrote my 1700 words and we will see how tomorrow goes.

Some of you remember my cousin Hayley from when I called you and said "turn on the TV, cousin Hayley is on Deal or no Deal!" Hayley's post today is a great reminder that we should never let a day go by without telling those we love how much they mean to us: http://www.hayfarris.com/2011/10/so-this-one-time-i-died.html?showComment=1320155953972 Thank you for sharing this Hayley -We love you!

I had an appointment at Dr. Whitworth's office today (October 31st) and his nurse was dressed in a pink tutu and tiara - I forgot to get her photo, but it really helped me relax before the exam. I'm still having some transient nerve pain on my right side, but they say that is normal and should eventually get better. It's reassuring to know that these things happen to other people and are nothing to worry about.

Even Santa lent his support!
