What's been going on in the Ostapeck household...

Humm...

He's been playing poker, working hard, doing yardwork, loving football season, eating endless amounts of ice cream, playing bejewled, and doing the "boy chores," she hates to do (taking out the trash, killing spiders, etc)

She's back to work, reading a riduculous amout (for pleasure, not business), decorating the house for fall, baking, hopelessly waiting for rain and, of course cleaning, doing laundry, and all the other fun things wives do.

Since I've blogged  last, here is what has happened:

David is taking a break from tests.  He has decided he wants a little break, and I don't blame him.  He has been going strong for awhile now.  So, he has been spending a lot of time playing poker online.  He loves poker, and I tell him as long as he doesn't lose money, he can play with no complaints from me. :)

My friend Gabby went home to Eurpoe.  It's funny...she worked so hard to get her U.S. citizenship, and after 18 years, she FINALLY gets it...then 2 years later, she moves to Europe for vet school and will be there for 5 years. LoL!  Brittany and I called a last minute "get-together," to send Gab off.  The night before her flight, we gathered at Britt's and watched the award show.  I'm sad she's gone, but she'll be home at Christmas, so I have that to look forwad to.

My best friend, Roxi and her baby Adelyn came to stay with us on Saturday, and spent the night.  It was so much fun to have them over.  We hung out and just had some "girls" time.  To top it off, our friend Ashley joined us.  It's always fun to get together with the girls.

I am almost finished with the Hunger Games trilogy. 
It has been amazing.

I am trying to help fall along.  You see...Mother Nature has decided that California doesn't deserve fall.  The temperature has been in the hundreds lately, and there is no sign of fall.  So, therefore, I have made it my personal mission to help it along...well, I guess all I have really done is decorate for fall, and...most importantly...I have been making PuMpKiN LoGs!!!! :)  ...and they're yummy!!!!  Yay for Fall...hurry up and here, please! :)

I decided that I wanted to be a part of a book club.  So, I solicited my friends, and we all decided that would be a great idea.  It will be fun to be able to discuss books we are reading.  The book club starts today, and our first book is:  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  I have heard it is good from a lot of people, one being my Aunt Terri, so we'll see...

I think that's it for our boring lives as of now...
