Happy Halloween



We worked hard on some pumpkins yesterday.........if the squirrels don't eat them, they should look pretty good tonight when the ghouls show up : )




Here's youngest DD. This was last year. She has decided to be frugal and be a vampire again this year. I think we'll use more make-up to make her look more ghastly. I'll post a picture tonight of this years version.


When witches go riding,

and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,

tis near Halloween.

Blah

That's how I feel right now. I am sick. Not horribly sick, but my body is fighting off some kind of illness, and it makes me tired and blah.

One week from today one of the most important decisions Americans have ever had to make will be upon them. I do hope they choose wisely.

Otherwise I may be feeling like this, blah, for the next 4 years.

Early Sunday Mutterings

My DH decided to get up at 8:30 today. Why? I don't know. So let's see how sleepy my unconscious is this morning.




  1. Contemplate :: Think about

  2. In the house :: lived a mouse

  3. Classical :: music

  4. Quest :: vision

  5. Best friend :: I don't really have one anymore

  6. 1991 :: year I moved in with DH

  7. Never will :: never say never

  8. Fool :: on a hill

  9. Unhappy :: I will be if Obama wins

  10. Best man :: there isn't one

Well, I made it to #9 this week before I had to think about that damn Obama again.

More Wise Words

Oh C'mon, Laugh A Little

Again I have stolen someone else's joke. I would give credit where it is due, if I knew who to give the credit to. Whoever they are, I thank them.


A teacher was explaining the two party system to her students, and little Tommy raised his hand to say he plans to be a Republican.

"Why is that?" asked the teacher.

"Well," he replied, "My father was a Republican, and my grandfather was a Republican, and my great grandfather was a Republican.

"Wanting the child to think for himself, she prodded: "What if your father, and your grandfather, and your great grandfather had all been thieves?"

Quickly Tommy responded, "Then I'd be a Democrat."
