You're Not Sorry...

Another week has passed... and we are that much closer to going to Nova Scotia. Sometimes it feels like the time is flying by and sometimes it feels like it is crawling ever so slowly. I'm hoping for more days of the flying... (= What is going on in good ol' New England these days? In 6 days, the American League MVP will be announced and I'm hoping that Dustin Pedroia gets the award that I feel he so richly deserves. I can't help it - he absolutely is my favorite player. He plays with such might - I love watching him swing the bat. He just gives it his all- all the time. For short people everywhere - he is truly an inspiration! Let's just hope K-Rod doesn't steal the MVP away from our 'lil Dusty. Something else that is going on soon is a little holiday called... Thanksgiving! Can't wait for us to be together again (minus a few key people...)! Heath wants you all to come prepared to talk about the cottages! I'm sure we would be anyway... but he might have some extra things to discuss!

Last week's poll was "Shutters or no shutters?" There was a whopping 2 votes on that poll. It was a dead-lock tie between "undecided" and "shutters." I am so shocked that our family who are outspoken regarding our right to vote are not exercising their duty to vote now! I mean, just because it was a national election last week - does not take away from your voting privilege in our weekly polls! But I do not want to hear any excuses. My feelings would best be described by the lyrics to the song "You're Not Sorry" by one of my favorites singers, Taylor Swift. (What is written in quotes is from me)

All this time I was wasting (writing this blog)

Hoping you would come around (and vote)
I've been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
And it's taking me this long
but I figured you out (you don't care anymore)
And you're thinking we'll be fine again
But not this time around

You don't have to call anymore (not that this happens)
I won't pick up the phone (this is what usually happens)
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore (because no one votes)
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you
Like I did before
You're not sorry, no no (don't even try)

OK - so I'm exaggerating. I don't actually believe this. But it is just a plug I have to do for my girl, Taylor. She is just a teenager and her talent is incredible. I was brought up to appreciate music - but especially song-writing. Because anyone can sing a song - but to actually write the sings that you sing is rare in the music industry. And if you don't know this about Taylor Swift or guessed yet- she writes all of her songs. Anyways, this is not the point. VOTE, VOTE!!

The poll this week is "Have you decided on the color of your cottage?" I'm not sure Heath and I are 100% positive - but I'm sure there are people out there that know exactly what they want. We are leaning towards Behr's "Woodland Green" semi-transparent stain. It is like a sage green! I can't wait to see it on my cottage siding! I would show you a swatch of the color, but the Behr Exterior section is having technical difficulties at the moment.

Here are the pictures, as promised, of Steve and Kelly's windows. And remember - THEY WERE FREE! We are all just going to have to drool over the pics and wish that we could be so lucky to get free windows. Nice job guys! And thank you for the photos - I know everyone wanted to see your great find. What do all of you think? Do you think Steven and Kelly would miss a couple of them? (= Well, until next week... talk to you soon!
