Pregnancy, Halloween, and Duck Dynasty

....So here lately it seems my belly is expanding at light speed. I can still button my jeans, but they are beginning to feel snug. I have a pair of maternity jeans that I LOVE....but as I have recently discovered....maternity clothes (let me clarify...CUTE maternity clothes) are expensive. I felt like I was making a life decision purchasing jeans and a shirt that will fit my baby belly. I understand that regular clothes are generally expensive too, but there are many more cheap options for the regulars. Aside from my maternity clothes blues, I have began recognizing the baby's movements. I have to say it is a strange feeling to get used to. They are lighter at this time, but as I have been informed...I need to prepare for those kicks right to the ribs. I can't help but flash to Bella Swan's beginnings of labor in Breaking Dawn....okay maybe not that intense....

....Halloween has never been a time that I get super excited about or look forward to.....go ahead, call me a fuddy dud. I hate scary movies...and I think they have become more demented than scary these days. (people have twisted imaginations)....anyways I am kind of chuckling at myself tonight. I went ahead and bought candy for trick or treaters...and we had one come by. As I was grading papers, wondering why no one has knocked on our door, it occurred to me that we never turned our porch light on. ....I can't help but think we subconsciously wanted to keep all the candy for ourselves =)






          Duck Dynasty has recently caught my husband's attention. For the last few hours he has strummed on his guitar in between laughs....and had actual reactions to what they are doing or what is happening. For example, they just blew up a truck and John laughed and said "No WAY!". (he is easily amused) I think it is genuinely funny, but parts of it are obviously "helped" to develop... or something. Nevertheless, I like the show...Phil and Si are my favorite...and then Jase.
           I have to ask though, how does one become a millionaire with a duck caller? Is duck hunting that big in this country? How many duck callers can one person need?.. Everything I hear hunting wise is about deer, elk, and hogs....maybe its something to do with living in Texas....anywho....I will end with a quote I consider to be worth repeating ;).....
