I went to 4 furniture stores today. I am really leaning towards a red couch, but that would mean no red walls. We've considered red walls here in the living room. Red couch and red walls and a red-headed husband may be a little too much. But I do love that color. I brought home several swatches to look at.

Autumn is at a McCain performance tonight of Mythbusters from the Discovery Channel. Some girls from school invited her to go so she was pretty happy to be out of the house with them.

Sam has a friend over right now and they're playing Ruinscape. This is an internet game that is all the rage in 6th grade now. Sam is considered one of the best in his class. We're so proud of him:-)


Current cd's....I bought 3 cd's this week.
Brother John inspired me to buy Neil Sedaka hits from 1974-80. "Laughter in the Rain" is the best one. Some of the hits I don't remember at all. Also I bought Doris Day Happy Hits (1949-1957). This one has "Two Hearts Two Kisses Make One Love". Sam is finding this particular cd very annoying. He has no taste! :-)
The third cd I bought was Andy Williams Dear Heart. I went to a Christian Women's Club brunch last week, and the theme was the heart. This lady was the head heart nurse at KU-Med in KCity. She played all these songs that had to do with the heart and Andy Williams's "Dear Heart" was one of them. So I was inspired to buy it. I hadn't bought cd's in awhile, so this was fun to listen to this week.

We're suppose to get a few inches of snow tonight. There's been a cold rain all day long.
