I have got to figure out how to keep the cats from keeping me awake for 1-2 hours every night fighting.
Play with them before going to bed to try to exhaust them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whew! I just got them to put off the Business Systems Analyst meeting by a week. I had a fear I was supposed to present at it, but it wasn't on my calendar, and a meeting for December is, so I let it slide.
Turns out it was today after all.
Not any more! Now it's next week. I guess it had better be spiffy. But, fuck, all my stats are five years old, and I don't even know if they apply to this business...

Happy birthday, Ginger!
Was someone here looking for London travel tips? Design Sponge just put up a London city guide. I haven't checked out the listings personally (alas), but they might be worth exploring: [link]

Happy birthday, Ginger!
I had a couple dozen kids, I guess--the best costume was a ten-year-old as a zombie, but there was also a 4-year-old dressed as a flapper. Most of the rest wore commercial costumes: Spiderman, Batman, Batgirl, and one Green Lantern with a blinky light. And several princesses.
I turned out the outside light at 9 pm and took the rest of the candy to work this morning.
I cannot fathom, as a child, passing by a house with the lights on on Halloween. I mean, that's the point. But we ran wild all over the neighborhood when I was a kid, and there always ended up smashed pumpkins in the road, and usually someone's house got TP'd.
Times have changed and parents & kids all seem a lot more fearful now, although I do recall the perpetual urban legend about the apple with the razor blades in it...

The Finnish nanny was telling me this morning at the bus stop that they don't trick or treat in Finland, but on EASTER they dress up as witches (?) and go door to door. They give the homeowners a branch with a paper flower on it, and recite a little poem (the whole thing is for luck), and they get eggs, etc.
The things you learn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Ginger!!
