I agree with everyone in regards to:

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Happy Wedding Nicole!

Happy Anniversary, House of Reason!

Happy Halloween, Everyone!

Chiming in late on the bi thing to say that as a poly my relationships have been convoluted and hard to quantify but mostly I have had longer relationships (and one marriage) with boys but I tend to fall harder for (and get my heart broken more often by ) girls. Guys are like omelettes and girls are like soufflees.

I woke up this morning with no plan and as I lay in bed thinking about what to do with today I got to wondering if the Gaucho Meat Market carries blood sausage. (whitefonted for veggies who would rather not know the kind of craziness omnivores will put in their mouths). They do! And three hours later I have that as well as bloody marys and blood orange sorbet.

Happy Halloween!

Our neighbor upstairs put a note on the door saying that trick or treaters should ring her bell, so no one was ringing ours. I just put a note up saying that our floor has candy too. Last year we put up a note to ring both floors, which made more sense.

We didn't have any trick-or-treaters last year but I was at work and I'm willing to bet D didn't have the porch light on. I need to stop eating the candy.

Laga, you're welcome to hand out candy at my house. We get hundreds of kids. (Of course I am a Halloween curmudgeon and sick to boot, so I will be hiding in the back of the house with the porch lights off.)

Ooh, thanks for the offer, Kristin. It's tempting but a lot of driving as I have to be at Universal at noon tomorrow.

I'll get maybe 20 kids or so coming through my neighborhood.

In order to keep myself from gorging on candy, I bought an assortment of Hot Tamales and Junior Mints. I'd rather gargle with napalm than eat either one.

Fortunately, the local yarn shop had a dish of candy corn, and the Y had a dish of candy out (nice of them to sabotage peoples' workouts...) so I got my requisite solidified corn sugar and mini-KitKat.

This year, I'm dressing up as a werewolf. Since there's no full moon tonight, it's an easy, easy costume.

The teenager upstairs is officially on the list. They just made fun of my costume.

Teenagers mock because they are insecure, sj, just try to remember that.

Laga, you'd be welcome to spend the night. We have a nice, germ-free guest room (I promise not to sneeze on you). We're a lot closer to Universal, so you'd be able to sleep in later, too. I'm going to go up to HHN for a little bit with Cricket tonight, actually, so you'd just have to bring your DS sweatshirt if you wanted to join us. You're on the crew list, after all.

I would probably remember that if they weren't always making so much noise, but I really can't stand them to begin with.
