HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween: I had a costume laid out, black widow spider but my tomcat yakked a huge hairball on it this morning, so on to plan B for work a halloween tee and jeans. We are having a taco bar and dessert here at work, so nothing will spoil my favorite day. I still think this should be a holiday like Thanksgiving, hey GW how about I switch Halloween for some other holiday that does not mean much to me.

Happy Anniversary to my mom and dad-53 years egads that is a long time.

I got my Rob Zombie music cranked up and we are just kind of hanging out and talking, the boss is in Scotsdale so while he is away we play. I think I saw someone working, I best go smack them and tell them we are not working today.

If you go to the lifetime website http://www.lifetimetv.com/games/be-my-bra/ you can create your own little person. MIne is 91959. I tried to copy her here but I have not the faintest idea how to do that. Anyway if you have 5 minutes go there and create a new you. I by no mean have orange red hair but it was fun.

Dont forget to get those mammograms, they could save your life.

Guess I need to wait a little longer for my invite.

Does anyone watch the Graham Norton Show? I was flipping through channels one night and noticed Joss Stone was on, I love her, so now I am hooked. Man those BBC people allow a lot more on their TV than we do in America. He is a flaming gay guy who is extremely funny. Watch him.

I am busy working on my xmas gifts, am making ballband dishcloths for those little gifts you have to give a few people in your life.

Happy Halloween and Ravelry


As far as I am concerned we should celebrate Halloween all month long, it is my favorite day of the year, not much of a Christmas person but Halloween is something I can get into. How could you not love a day of dressing like someone you want to be and eating candy, it does not get any better than that. I am temporarily at another office of ours in the caves, yes Halloween, bats, and caves. I do have HALLWN as my car tag. Halloween is also my parents wedding anniversary, 53 years.

I keep hearing all about Ravelry on three of my yahoo groups, so last Thursday I signed up to join, something else to take away from my knitting time.
