mac has the movie on, I'm about to put on headphones and music and fold up three bags of clothes. I am still doing clothes in ziploc bags, but I think I may motivate enough to clean the insecticide out of my dresser and start using it again to hold the bags-o-clothes instead of big rubbermade tubs. (I am sure living like this now going on three months has NOTHING to do with my near constant grumpiness).
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Happy Birthday Daniel!
Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!

OMG, is Matilda being a superpill today. She just shredded her new pink tights.
Our only recourse at this point is to use her to fetch tons of candy tonight and eat it while she's asleep.

So the trick or treaters have been lame thus far. I've moved from my perch by the door to the dining room, I am getting so few kids. Oz has even given up looking out the front door.
At the 5 minutes I was in the mall I saw two slutty maids and a slutty fairy. Stay classy, mall employees.
This morning I let the cats out while I planted tulips and OZ went across the street while my back was turned. I went across to get him and when I bent down to picked him up, he spazzed and attacked me, and then ran under a shrub. I don't think he recognized me. I finally got him out with food. I would never declaw a cat myself, but I was very happy he was declawed this morning.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I splurged and bought a spicy ginger cookie at whole foods this morning. OMG SO GOOD

I had my first TorTers just as I got home! A disney princess and a baby in butterfly wings with the hair on the top of her head twisted into a couple little antennae. She totally recoiled when I put some candy in her basket. Heh.
Did my weekend crazy at the pool, 50 laps. Wheee!

Having re-delurked (re-surfaced, whatever) I feel likeI should make an effort to post more than once a year.
It'll be dark here & cold -- 3C -- for trick or treating so jury-rigging a warm costume is essential. Nora is Batman Batperson with warm tights & a turtleneck underneath. The Blue-Eyed Boy is a zombie with lots of ripped, torn & bloodstained layers.
Neither of them have had a timeout yet, but the night is young...

It's actually really nice weather for it tonight. It was pretty much raining off and on all day, but warmish. The rain has stopped, and now it's 70 and pleasantly humid with a light breeze.
I remember a couple of really cold Halloweens in Las Cruces, but most were pretty mild.
I kinda hate my screen door. It's cheap and metal and whenever some kid knocks, the banging startles me. I feel like I should sit out on my porch or something. I do have wireless and a laptop....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
so cute, flea!
I just sent my kids to see their MiL. I should have taken pictures first. I suck, but fear not, there will be pictures before they set out to TorT.
The kids basically carved every pumpkin we had in the house, including the one that was supposed to be made into pie. But really, who am I to stop a little girl when she's wielding a pumpkin carver?
