'Time Bomb'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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....
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?
Happy Halloween everyone! I am headed to the city in what I hope won't be a nightmare of 2-bridge traffic for a dinner with friends in the Sunset. I'm hoping we get some trick or treaters.
Vesper cocktails and risotto with scallops. Yum!
This was earlier today: [link] He has since peed in all three of those pairs of underpants, and is on pair four. Definitely not a good day for potty compliance.

Smart mom!
Just a couple sets so far. I've got the front door open and Loki keeps gaslighting me in his desperate attempts to open the door. At one point he was hanging from the handle, bunny-kicking the door and frame, all while crying. Devi was looking at him like he was crazy.
flea, that's hilarious! Well, not the peeing.
The Maryland State Police are once again running ads telling people to prevent car theft by not leaving their keys in the ignition and the doors unlocked when they leave their car. Are there people who seriously do that?

At my parents' farm, we would leave the vehicles unlocked and the keys on the dash. But that's the only place we'd do that.
When I was younger, we'd never lock the house doors unless we were on vacation. When we built the new house in 1980 we started locking it at night, but not when we were gone during the day. Then years later they started locking the doors when they were out for the day as well.
Our trick-or-treaters keep coming in big waves; there are apparently hordes of teens and pre-teens roaming the neighborhood. Most of them have on sports shirts as their "costumes"; a few had sheets with holes for eyes. Only 2 tiny children with store-bought costumes, and one with a beautiful gown that her mom had sewn.
