Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, Laura!

All my love and respect to teachers today. ltc hasn't listened to a single thing I've said today. I imagine teachers are dealing with the same today.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I didn't wear a costume for Halloween, but I did wear my raven pendant necklace and crystal skull earrings and had seasonal stick-ons on my orange fingernails. That's about as costumed as I get. I DID see a Morticia and Gomez Addams on the street after work ... he was wearing a velvet smoking jacket, she had the long black dress; hair, makeup, etc., were right.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I second Jess' nomination. Long range forecast gives us rain, rain, oh! partly cloudy on the 10th, and rain again through the 15th. Lotsa nap-resistance.

Toddson, I would love a photo of your raven necklace. I've wanted crow/raven pendant for a while and have yet to see one that says, "Me! Pick me!"

I'm still on some NC mailing lists and I got one from Eleanore Wood this morning from Progress NC/Action about text banking and etc. It finished with a perky picture of Amy Poehler (who was a member of the Upright Citizens [comedy] Brigade) over the logo: Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!

So I get an email from Elle Woods, played by Leslie Knope of the Upright Citizens Brigade, with a Coach Taylor tagline.

The pop culture mixture is overwhelming.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Our schools are out today. Smartest scheduled teacher work day ever.

Beverly, the pendant is what looks like a copy of a vintage print that's been set in "silver" with a clear cover (the reverse is a similar print of a fleur de lis). I tied a narrow black lace bow over it. No pictures, I'm afraid.

To get your spooky on, here's a one-minute video of a cat seeing a horror movie.

I have just finished scarfing down a Carls' Jr. Double Western Cheeseburger with Bacon and it tasted so damned good. Paul the Polyp was getting above himself, so I get to do this in three years.

Dear lord, I'm still hungry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gary took Mr. S trick-or-treating while I handed out candy. I think we got fewer kids than last year, and we have plenty of candy left over.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I missed most of the trickers, since Rosemary was on door duty. She reported that her favorite was the Queen of Squirrels -- with a tiara.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm off work, and have already gone through my mother's fall house to-do list and ordered a whole new wardrobe from Boden! (We'll see how much of it works...) I basically hate all of my winter clothes.
