Happy Birthday Ginger!

We had lunch at a new restaurant today in your honor: Restaurant is named Ginger.

Last night was the funnest Halloween I've had in years; for once I went out instead of staying home and handing out candy. I say, if you have a mustache, you're too old for trick-or-treat. Ditto if your costume requires a bra.

You all know about the Living Dead Dolls, right? A friend of mine organized a gallery showing of the dolls by various artists who had created their own take on the theme, and the opening night was, of course, last night in NYC. I got a friend from work to go with me (he was blown away, he'd never seen any such thing before!) and we got properly tipsy beforehand and had a blast. The show was packed with people and the art rocked! I wondered at the time if there might be NYC Buffistas in the room and I just didn't know it...

Bitches, do I like these?

Oh YEAH! Amazing price, too.

I currently have a bucket-o-playdough minis on my desk. The office didn't have many trick-or-treaters yesterday. I even made a playdough snake to entice them....although perhaps it scared them away. mwhahahaha.

which...well...can I justify it? I could probably wear them if it snows here this winter, right?

The boots, which will keep your feet dry this winter, are much cheaper than getting sick with 'flu and pnuemonia and all the other things you might catch if your immune system is compromised by cold, wet feet.

How's that work for ya?

1) everyone buy boots.

2) all kidlet pictures killed me

3) hot mom pictures are better than smelling salts.

4) there is too much candy here, but not in the usual Buffista sense of the word.

Happy Birthday Ginger!

All good points!

And you should get your boots because they are very pretty and a very good bargain!

Student: We have to go to drug ed today? Oh man, I hope it isn't corny like Nightmare Before Puberty.

Me: ...Nightmare before puberty...?

Student: Oh yeah. Dance and acting troupe about puberty. They'd spray-painted the walls with fake grafitti and "told us like it was" for an hour. It was horrifying.

Me: t stunned silence

Student: Yeah, that's the look we had on our faces, too.

The pictures of everyone were great! Good lord, you're all very pretty and have cute children.

We had a fabulous anniversary dinner at our favorite resturant. (They had a Halloween tasting menu. Pumpkin-apple-chipoltle soup! Watercress salad with blood orange vinagrette! Smoked duck and pumpkin risotto! Pumpkin gelato!) Then we did something we've never done before: go to the goth club on Halloween. The pet DJ was happily shocked when we wandered into the booth.

And then today involved sleeping in, because I cleverly took the day off. Mmmm, glorious sleeping in. I'm still in my dressing gown, AIFG!

Hee! I'm going to remember that line of reasoning and use it to justify expensive wool tights.
