Longhorns win! Or at least they are about to win so Danny is happy tonight. And I know all of you are dying to know if KU football won today..yes. They wallouped Iowa State 41-10 in Ames.
And the KU basketball team is ranked 3rd in the country--this is what I have been waiting for...college bb baby!

Many of you know that Paul has had numerous ear infections. For the past few weeks his right ear has been bad and won't seem to clear up. Dr. T of course wants tubes for the lad. And I believe we will do it sometime this month or early Dec. Hopefully, tubes will help my little boy as we will enter cedar season next month and he is allergic to cedar. We found that out last Jan when he had that $2000 blood test! Paul has also had a lot of congestion. We cannot seem to find a medicine that really helps elminate and or prevent this. UGH! So, back to the dr we went this week. Appt was 4:20 on Thurs. Dr. T is very popular and I know it was late in the day. So, Paul and I made it back to the car around 6:15. And not only is his right ear still infected..has bronchitis. So...get out the nebulizer! He is a real trooper though with the breathing treatments--every 3/4 hours.

On a pos note--Paul is so much fun. The words (I think) he says...are Dadda, sit, share, hi, bye (with a southern accent), milk, book, ball, yes, SuuuSan, pease and "NO Mama---please don't spray that saline stuff up my nose and then suck out all my snot!"

My Mom just asked me if having a 16 month old...almost 17 months--makes me miss having a baby...and I can honestly say no. Cause while I love little babies....many of you know how silly I am and how much I love to play with kids...so it's been great the past few months with Paul cause he is so mobile and he too LOVES to play and is very active. But I can see that maybe when he is 3 or 4--I might miss the ages of 13 months - 18/20 months. Who knows.... And we have not decided whether Paul will have another sibling. I mean he already has a sister..Miss Oreo Marie Niño...who by the way has a birthday the end of this month..Nov 30---she will be 3 years old...21 in dog years....able to drink wine and beer legally!

One last note before I head to bed...cause oh by the way--I am sick too. Spent over 2 hours last night at the Med Clinic..only for the lovely Dr. Potter to tell me she was concerned about my high fever and did I have someone with me to drive me home..UH NO. Anyway--severe sinus infection ....have amoxicillian and she gave me samples of a really strong decongest. Good stuff!

So--getting back to the final note. GNO on Wed night--it is every Wed night, but I don't usually go every Wed..maybe 2-3 times a month. :-) Courtney, Michelle, Judy, Maile, Tina and myself went to this new wine bar in The Quarry. Some place called 20 Nine...I think. Anyway, they have food too..decent I guess. Courtney and I enjoyed the flat bread pizza and our salads. But here is the kicker......They offer samples of wine....but they do charge you..even if u don't and will not drink one of them..right girls?! So, I ordered 3 samples of Pinot Noir. Then I picked the one I liked the most (surprisingly from CA) and ordered a glass. Did not really think to ask..how much is the glass? I was thinking $10 or so. When the bill came...$19 for the GLASS. However, Judy went and got the wine menu and it listed for $17...whew.....$2 less. I am saved!!! The wine cost more than my food. Oh and I owe Courtney something like $7!!
THEN----we all went across the street to my old stomping grounds---Stonewerks. We were going to sit outside by the fire--but a couple of the girls were rather cold. It was a chilly and very windy night in SA! So--inside we went. Chris Anne was our server. More drinks were ordered and of course Ms. Court ordered dessert! We chatted and laughed and laughed and laughed. I tell you--these gals are so sweet and so much fun to be with. I feel so honored that Tina introduced me to them and brought me in to GNO. Thank you Tina! You and the girls are such blessings to me. There is so much I want to share about this night..but I am so thirsty and tired and the bed is calling my name. I may have to finish the story tomorrow....

But before I go tonight......you have to know....we closed the place. This seems to happen a lot to us on Wed night no matter where we go. Chairs go on top of the tables..the staff is sitting down eating and or drinking and the lights are off in one part of the restaurant. I had picked up Tina so naturally--I had to take her home. I believe when I got home it was 1:30am. Had to email Maile and Tina..and to my surprise..Tina was not online...but Maile was! And 6:00AM came oh so fast!!

More on GNO and some other things about Paul tomorrow...... Adios people!
