I LOVE that commercial.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

As it is, I get to have my cake and eat it too, with my nieces nearby. I have no complaints.
I'm right there. Today I spent a wonderful, if very rainy and muddy, day with one of the nieces-by-proxy (and her parents and a few more of the chosen family) at a pumpkin farm. There was hay rides, petting zoos, hot cider, and jumping in puddles. Then I went home, and I'm getting ready to spend the evening at the spa, soaking in a hot tub.
I am not designed to be a parent. I am designed to be a zany auntie.

Well, there's this. The director thinks that Geico ripped off the idea from him. (I don't think he has much of an argument, though)

Why aren't there disposable skillets and sauce pans so that I never need to wash one again? Is it really evil to eat only out of paper plates and bowls? With plastic utensils?

I dusted all the shelves in the living rooms that got feelthy last week. AND the French door blinds. And the bar mirror key thingie by the door. Uhg.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Connie, you can get compostable plates and flatware that would be less evil than paper and plastic.
Disposable skillets and sauce pans is tougher, you need a certain sturdiness to withstand cooking on a burner. You could barbeque everything. Or you could go hardcore with the cast iron and never wash it, just keep building up seasoning. Or microwave everything in compostable bowls.
msbelle, I think the crosses are fine but I am not an expert. Overall, looks good! What do you mean by "half", though?
I have pretty much decided that my costume this year will be black and white stripey blazer over a black and white checkerboard blouse with a black and white houndstooth skirt. I found hose that is one leg checkerboard and one leg stripes, also black and white. And a mini top hat, black and white striped. Black shiny shoes, probably, unless I decide to go with the purple batwing Halloween heels. I am wavering between saying I am dressed as an optical illusion ("I'm actually standing much further away") or some variation of Harley Quinn, MBA

I'm not dressing up, but I am handing out a ton of candy. Maybe I'll sling my goggles on my forehead. Or put on my prom dress. It'd be warm and cozy and is all gothy.

Well, there's this.
Like. But, yeah, I don't think he's got a case.
I don't think I'm costuming this year, but I will be around to hand out candy. I got a few kids last year, so I'll make sure to buy five times as much as I need. You know, just in case.
