Teppy! Has there been any purple velvet? On the boy or the dog?

Heh. Not as yet.

Thanks Steph L. I travel through Waterbury a lot for work and cant wait to stop in and have pint.

You'll love it. I know I'm biased, but objective drinkers (i.e., non-relatives of the chef) think the beers are pretty swell, too.

They each had one basket for themselves and one for the doll.

Nice swindle.

At one of the group homes, on Tuesday, bosslady sent me to the store to get some Hallowe'en candy. When I asked her how much she thought I should get, she said, "More than you think you need. Get the good stuff like Snickers and Kit Kat. And then get some cheap crap to give the kids." That is the spirit of Hallowe'en.

You should have had some cheap crap to give the teens - like, one Dum Dum apiece. Too bad you didn't have any Bazooka Joe gum to give the dolls.

We had a couple of "Me"s as well. And one kid who said he was a "student." Feh.

As one of these people, I point to Teppy's recommendation and nod vigorously.

GOD, I miss Vermont. Maybe when Tom gets settled, we can go in celebration.

Sigh. Tom is really starting to get down about all this, it sucks.

We've spent the morning trying to deal with merging our finances, which we hope to have all settled by the first of the year. Ugh, I hate money.

oh yeah, that reminds me that we need to sit down (probably tomorrow, since we slept till noon today and have a 6pm thing tonight) and go over our budget stuff, see where we can tighten up, make cuts, and how long our savings will last us.

Hi, SLNRLBF!

Forgive me for spending a while coming up with a way to pronounce that, then coming up with Sleener Le Beouf.

Win!

Howdy SLBFNRLBF!

Shir, relax, 1st day is usually getting a pile of papers, a list of books to buy, and lectures of what to expect that semester. A nice way to ease into it. And I'd think Uni will be a nice distraction. Unless of course you are the one at the head of the classroom, then all I have just said will be of no help at all.

No kids came around for the bit I was home. Went around the corner to co-workers place and watched "Slither". Capt Tightypants and Elizabeth Banks. Very funny flick. Then played poker till 3am. And slept until 2pm. Yup. Lazy.

Wow, looks like a cereal for me. Which reminds me, I gotta eat something.

Anyhow, catching up on e-mails, and this was linked to me. Pretty cool: [link]
