Saturday went well; my youngest's best friend slept over and they watched lots of movies. Have my Halloween costume; going to be a ladybug. Had to get a teen's size for it to fit properly, since I'm so short. My internet is still being screwy, as in I can access some internet sites/pages but not others. I have never been able to NOT figure out what's wrong before and it's giving me a headache.

I had a good reminder from my favorite blog site today: just because someone treats you or makes you feel like you're inadequate/not good enough doesn't mean you are inadequate/not good enough. And when someone treats you in a "less than" way, it's not because of something you've said or done. None of us are that special-or powerful-that we can make anyone behave in a certain way just because of what we've said or done, or haven't said or done. Other peoples behavior is about them, not us. It's so hard, though, not to take certain things personally.

I'm so looking forward to the next two weekends; grown-up birthdays and Halloween. My oldest is so funny, though. Tells me not to flirt with her friend's brothers. First of all, one is married and I've never met him anyway. (That I remember.) Second of all, her other brother's the flirt and he makes me extremely nervous.
