was buying a bag of halloween chocolates on tuesday.\u00a0 i was going to wait til today to buy them, but then i figured that i’d be ok, it wasn’t that many days til halloween, plus i just wouldn’t open them.<\/p>\n

my second big mistake was opening them.\u00a0 i waited at least a half hour, maybe a full hour, before i decided i needed JUST ONE CHOCOLATE.<\/p>\n

yesterday mom told me that kevin said he didn’t think the chocolates would last til today.<\/p>\n

BUT THERE ARE STILL A FEW LEFT!<\/p>\n

but many are gone.\u00a0 they’re hershey’s miniatures, and i’m not so crazy about the one with peanuts, i’d get up and look at the bag to see the names of them, but then of course I’D EAT ANOTHER DAMN CHOCOLATE!\u00a0 so i’m just sitting quietly right here instead, as the wind howls outside.<\/p>\n

i should have bought some boring, non-chocolate candy.\u00a0 dumb dumb dumb.\u00a0 we probably won’t even get any trick-or-treaters anyway, because i’m pretty sure we got none last year.\u00a0 i feel sorry for little kids trick or treating tonight because it’s so incredibly windy and cold right now, and it’s just gonna get worse.<\/p>\n

right now there a big fancy boat out on the water.\u00a0 what on earth are they doing???<\/p>\n

we took the pontoon boat out of the water yesterday.\u00a0 it wasn’t as cold as it is today, but it was only in the 50s, and the boat ride over to the boat launch was mighty chilly.<\/p>\n

mom went with me, and i tried to show her how something was wrong with the motor; we had taken the boat out on sunday and the engine was revving a lot when we accelerated, but it sounded totally off.<\/p>\n

it seemed perfectly fine as we drove it over to the boat launch, of course.<\/p>\n

it didn’t seem so windy, but i somehow had a horrible time getting the boat to line up properly with the channels in the trailer that the pontoons have to rest on.\u00a0 i had to back up a couple of times, but then kevin started pulling and pushing the boat, doing a great job of not falling into the very cold water.<\/p>\n

i had to lie on my stomach on the deck of the boat to attach the cable from the trailer to the boat.\u00a0 it was waaaay under there, and i was dangling waaaay over, and kevin had mom hang onto my feet as i was lying there, so i wouldn’t fall into the water and crack my head open.<\/p>\n

because you know i could very easily do that.\u00a0 no problem.<\/p>\n

and of course i had to attach it with a big and very rusty hook that had a little thing you had to press in to latch it, and it was sooooo hard to do, and i was pretty sure i’d never get it done, but i had to do it or else kevin would have to wade into the water and do it, which would be dreadful.\u00a0 so eventually, somehow, i managed to get it hooked.<\/p>\n

then kevin had to do more maneuvering, pushing and pulling on the boat and i wasn’t sure how he managed to not fall in…and then he fell in.\u00a0 he was wearing big boots and thick jeans and he says he didn’t get cold but i don’t know if i believe him. plus, later he told me he scraped up his shin, but he didn’t mention it at the time.\u00a0 i’d have said OOOOWWWWW if it’d have happened to me.<\/p>\n

and then it started to rain.<\/p>\n

at least it didn’t pour, but we didn’t appreciate the rain.\u00a0 finally kevin got the boat into the channels and then i had to crank and crank and crank the handle, and kevin climbed into the car and pulled the boat out.<\/p>\n

i was finally able to take this one picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

it’s a good thing mom was there, or i’d have definitely fallen into the water.<\/p>\n

yesterday i was very ambitious – i started the day by getting up before seven, and it was still dark, so i decided to go out and take a picture of the sun rising.\u00a0 and of course i couldn’t take just one picture.\u00a0 the sun officially rose about 7:23 i think, but it didn’t actually rise up over the trees till about 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

if the boat had been working properly (and who knows now, maybe it is), we could have kept it in the water a lot longer – see how deep the water is?\u00a0 usually by the end of august, you have to step way down to get into the boat, but it was level with the water!\u00a0 it’s never this deep this time of year.\u00a0 but it would have probably been very chilly to take more boat rides this year.\u00a0 but that one big boat was just out today!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

you can just see the sun peeking up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and then it went pretty quickly, and the clouds were so pretty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

it was a very busy day yesterday.\u00a0 i’m glad i managed to take those pictures since daylight savings time ends on saturday night, and i probably won’t be seeing any more sunrises for a long time.\u00a0 although i did wake up freakishly early this morning, at 5:30, and i kept lying there being annoyed that i couldn’t sleep any more, and finally got up before 6:30.<\/p>\n

hopefully there’ll be no more of that this year!<\/p>\n

i hope we don’t get any trick or treaters.\u00a0 i’ll just have to give each of them just one mr. goodbar – yes, of course i got up and looked to see and ate yet another piece of candy!<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n
