It's Halloween

And it's cold and I have a lot of candy but no trick-or-treaters. lol The thing is, I know there are hardly any kids trick-or-treating around her but I buy the candy anyway. And no, I won't be eating all of it myself....well, maybe a few. The rest I take to the office so these people:


I actually work with these people

...can eat it. ;-)

I'm sure it won't be a problem. The guy in the pink shirt and blazer and the one next to him are supposed to be Crockett & Tubbs from Miami Vice - in case anyone was wondering.

I'm not in this photo as I did not get dressed up for Halloween. The last time I got dressed up for Halloween was probably 25 years ago. That was when I was svelte enough to look good in something that isn't a 'blob' costume.

Besides, I don't do well in Halloween get up. I once got an awful rash on my face and hands after painting my face and hands silver - I was an alien. I once hit my head on the door frame of a car when I couldn't see out of my panda mask. I fell flat on my ass when I was dressed as a Can Can dancer in very high heels. I fell flat on my face when I was dressed as Morticia Adams in a ridiculously tight dress. I poked myself with a pin inside a Geisha wig when I tried to put it on before realizing there was a pin in there. Why was it in there? I have no idea.

So at the ripe old age of 50, I refuse to dress up. If I had done the vampire thing I'd probably have bitten my own lip or tongue or something.

My hubby and I and the cats are just hanging out. We were trying to get Leaper - the black kitty - to sit in the window as our Halloween decor but he's not cooperating. lol At the moment, he and Oliver have taken to napping on shirts I put out for them to sleep on in the living room.

Notice all the space available and yet...Oliver sleeps right
on top of Leaper.


Well, off to have some beef barley soup. Grilling time is over so it's crock pot and oven time.

For all who observe it, hope you're enjoying Halloween!

I didn't know you worked with the Queen!

I didn't see any trick-or-treaters wither. Oh well.

lol Only for a day. Normally she's got long curly blonde hair and she's about forty. :-D

I think it was just too cold here. Plus we've got H1N1 running rampant among school children. :-/
