- the cutest and most thoughtful gift from a friend (and reader): personalized frames for each of the little ladies. [insert imagined picture here, for anonymity's sake HAHAHAHA! but seriously]
- dang, a lot of people are awake and in their cars at 7am. Is that what you all do? How do you stay awake past 2pm?
- my sewing machine worked! Last time I attempted something on that doohickey, we got in a fight. We had to separate with irreconcilable differences. But now that we've both cooled off, we're trying to work it out. We're off and on like that. Classic Sam and Diane.
- HAVE YOU GUYS HAD THESE?
They are delicious. First of all, if you haven't had plain ol' animal crackers in 20 years, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how fantastic they are. Then, you can take your animal cracker love to the next level by covering them in, what tastes like, the cream from an Oreo cookie. SCORE! Thank God I have small children to regulate my ingestion of these.
"Mama, why do you get more than we do?"
[hunches shoulders and drops head] "I don't. We all get the same amount." [divvys up hoard of cookies to happy babies]
- that's right, I'm saving tinfoil to reuse it. Garbage challenge accepted!
- I'm also washing out Ziploc bags! Crazy hoarding reality shows, here I come!
- got to yell at some college kids for almost two hours about dancing. It was glorious.
- on a completely related thread, I walked through the ye olde campus and rode the bus for the first time in... a long time. It made me feel old and young all at the same time.
- I finally picked up that WIP again.
- and duh, we went trick or treating, but more about that later.
How was Halloween? Did you get trick or treaters? Did you buy 7 bags of candy knowing you'd only get 3 little kids? Are you in a sugar coma? How about Daylight Saving Time? Did you get to church an hour early by mistake? Good times.
