You Know You Grew Up In The 80's If...
A friend of mine emailed this to me and I thought it was GREAT (especially since I grew up in the 80's). I also get harassed on a weekly basis (we won't name any names) if I don't have a new post on my blog so hopefully this will tie all of you over until I capture the girls doing "something cute".

Watch Out!
When you log on to AOL there are about 5 different sections of news that the front page scrolls through and I found one that caught my eye... "Top 5 Sneaky Restaurant Tricks" as reported by SmartMoney.
Still Waters Run Deep: Tap water may indeed be "still" -- no bubbles -- but that's not what your server is offering when he queries "still or sparkling?" The mark-up on bottled water is easily 200%, so going bottled can be as much of a rip-off as ordering a cocktail. Industrywide, bottled water pulls in $200 to $350 million in profits annually, according to Clark Wolf Company, a restaurant consultant. In stores, a 33.8-ounce flat Voss Mineral Water goes for $3.49; in Riingo, located in New York's Alex Hotel, you'd pay $9 for the same bottle. Worse, once you order a bottle, it's rare that you'll be asked if you want another. Your server will simply open another to top off your glass -- and your tab. Today's Tip: If you want tap water, ask for it specifically.
When Corey and I were in San Francisco over the summer this happened to us at a french cafe in the financial district. The waiter gave me the choice between "sparkling and still". I thought I was safe with still, guess again. We paid $7 for a glass bottle of "still" Evian, you bet your $#! that we drank the entire bottle. Good thing we learned our lesson our first night there, tap please!

Update
So some of you have been asking for an update, we won't name any names (Jamie, it's okay I bet Mom wanted it too). There is not too much going on and I didn't want to bore anyone with the day to day details but it sounds as though some of you want that so here goes.
Friday night we went to a bonfire and hot dog roast. It was put on by a family at our church and we had alot of fun, especially Aly. Ashley was getting crabby and ready to go and Aly was not too happy that her little sister was keeping her from hanging out with her friends.
It was a very rainy Saturday. Aly and I went grocery shopping. We ended up soaked as well as our groceries! Saturday evening Corey and I went on a date. Yea for Kimmy (our babysitter who drives herself over to our house)! We went to see "We Own the Night" and then to dinner at Sophia's. After dinner we got coffee and chai tea latte and headed over to Sam's Club to pick up fruit snacks for the girls, super exciting, I know.
Yesterday was church. We had a children's ministry lunch immediately following the service to help us get acquainted with our new children's pastor and some new procedures. After the luncheon we came home baked lots of chocolate chip cookies and just had fun spending time with each other (and eating cookie dough).
Maybe we will go to the pumpkin patch this weekend and I can post some really fun fall pictures. Also, mark your calendars (Grandma, Gigi, MawMaw and anyone else who wants to come), Aly's Christmas Dance performance is scheduled for Saturday, December 8th at 7pm in Columbia.
That's all for now. Have a fun week!
