10. I’m not going to fill up today’s top ten with Magic Mike pictures again. I swear. *shifty eyes* Of course, that means you miss the red band trailer where you see Channing’s butt.

10. Hey! It’s October. September ended with us getting a ton o’rain and all the schools closing because of flooding. Maybe October will be nicer to us. My week has consisted of me sneezing and coughing. And for the big news – wait for it – the hot tub is still sitting in our driveway. ;p.
