November 1, 2012 Sky Fire

Don't you agree with me that there is nothing in the world quite like a Kansas sunset in the fall?

This was the scene outside my kitchen window this evening and it took my breath away.  If  I could see this every night while standing at my sink, I wouldn't mind doing dishes.  Truth is, I'd probably do the dishes!

November 1st means that the holiday season is coming at top speed.  Some years I do Christmas shopping all year long.  Some years I don't. 

This year, I didn't.  Crap.

Oh! Oh! Oh!  Guess what?

I'll wait.

Nope.

No, not that, either.

I WON SOMETHING!

Several weeks ago, I was in Overland Park with my friend, Jennifer.  We ate at On the Border and I bought chances to win several gift baskets.  I just remember that in one of the baskets were Chiefs tickets.  (Even though they suck, it would still be fun to go to a game.)

My name was the second one drawn and I got some theatre tickets, a gift certificate to a bowling alley (any one want those?  I'm not doing a lot of bowling.  Ever.), and 2 margarita shakers!  That's right, come to my house and I will shake you up a margarita in no time.

Speaking of drinking:  I have discovered orange vodka and cranberry juice.  Goes down like Kool-Aid.  I kid you not.  Has a nice Ka-Boom to it too.
