You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Art Crawl!!!

Man, I'm getting odd followers on Twitter lately. Lots of people who are, apparently, involved in the porn industry. Don't know why.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Heh, sumi. I get some random ones, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh. Franny and I seem to have gotten ourselves a Halloween cold, complete with sore throat and, in her case, a fever. Annoyance. Fever better amscray by tomorrow so she can go trick-or-treating.

Her final decision on the costume? She's dressing up as Ghoulia Yelps from the Monster High dolls. Promise I'll post pictures!

I feel a cold coming on, and am irked--I've been treating with Emergen-C and Traditional Medicinals cold care tea and rest and Ricola for the past two days...and still feel like I"m just starting to get sick. Not sure if "Putting it off" is really the point, if i'm still going to eventually come down with it! Hrmph. OTOH, I did spend the weekend last weekend in a house with someone who went home and found out she had pneumonia, so if it doesn't get that bad, I'll be glad at least.

Load up on some really good hot and sour soup, meara, or else my patented Cold Cure -- saute as much minced garlic as you can stand in butter. Add a tbsp of hot pepper flakes to it for last 15 seconds on sauteeing.

Add to 1 c chicken broth with 1/2 cup lemon juice.

Drink hot and brush teeth; repeat 3x daily. And don't breathe on anyone.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My cold cure is a shot of Fernet. It seems to scare the cold away.

My cure is apparently sleep. Cause I kept failing to stay awake in various locations around the house. Am only up and moving because I need to swim and catsit. Pretty sure this has been hanging around since around the parents got here, but hasn't really gotten bad until today.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's pissing a cold rain today. I so have no desire to drag the kids out in this weather to trick or treat. Perhaps they'll be happy with a Wii game-a-thon and some of the candy we bought.

Here's a shot of the bout last night You can just see my jack o'lantern ass to the right.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

For a while, people were saying that the empty store in the same strip mall as my TJs was going to be a Nordstrom's Rack, but they put a DSW there instead.

I wasn't sure which would be more dangerous to my pocket book, but then the DSW opened on Thursday.

Must remember to go grocery shopping early on Sunday to avoid having the DSW being open.
