Monday moaning

I should just pour a big glass of wine and sit out on the porch with the candy

There you go!  I wish we had kids :(  all our kids have grown and moved away.  I miss Trick or treat.  We all dressed up here at our office.  We have 50's 60's 70's and 80's represented :) 

I hope everyone that got such bad weather is recovering and getting the electric back. 

Have a great day all!

I feel like a poophead saying this but I really don't like Halloween. It means as soon as I get home tonight I'll be answering the door for close to 2 hrs to hand out candy

Cathy, just say no.  I don't hand out candy and have never been egged or t.p'd.  Of course, with my house, that might be an improvement.

I live in a cul-de-sac where everyone knows everyone and that would just make us creepier than we already are. It would also mean hanging out in the bedroom so no one saw lights on anywhere. I'd end up feeling worse. Honestly though, people who don't even live in our development drive in on Halloween. It's pretty crazy. I should just pour a big glass of wine and sit out on the porch with the candy

LOL same here

I don't like it mostly because Bugsy is fine until about the 4th or 5th ding dong, "trick or treat" - then he is just so freaking hyper and you can't settle him.  it is happy hyper but it is HAPPY oversized INSANE mutt HYPER.  So then I have to send him to either his crate or the TV room (upstairs) with DH and I get to sit downstairs in solitude and deal with the door.  Some of the kids come to see Bugsy and then if I let them see each other it is pure chaos.  I sure wish that B didn't get SO happy.  It really is too much dog for that much energy

Cathy I had planned on sitting outside and giving out candy but it is supposed to be showery so we'll see.  I just dumped the bags of candy into a bowl and proceeded to eat a fun size twix and 3 Musketeers.

Crashing tree limbs  . . . . check.

Exploding transformers  . . . . . check.

Blaring sirens and emergency notifications from police cars  . . . . check.

Power outages  . . . . . . check.

Another warm and fuzzy weekend in the great State of NJ  . . . . priceless.

Meanwhile, what I thought were transformers blowing causing weird light in the sky - was actually snow lightning.  The only time I ever saw that before was in Denver.  The sky lit up green and blue - like 4th of July Fireworks when it's cloudy out!

Our house power was out Sat evening until 3:30am this morning - I saw the cable guys out yesterday so that was restored before we had power to use it. lol  What a blessing every one of those power workers and plow drivers are.  Shoot, this morning I went to leave for work and the same two plow guys came by and waved at me b/c they recognized me from Saturday.  (my friend's ex-husband's car was in the way and he tried to move the car, but forgot he'd left his emergency brake on.  The plow drivers and I laughed at him as he tried to skid down the road on two moving tires.)

Our office lost power, but was on generators.  For some reason, it never occurred to me they might be closed today - this place only closes if there's a declared state of emergency by the State of NH.  So, good thing power was restored about 6:30 this morning so people could come to work.  We have showers and freezers for people to store their food, etc.  It's been a tough weekend for a lot of people - plenty of coworkers still don't have power.

I just keep thinking... Colonial New Englanders did this EVERY SINGLE DAY OF WINTER.... amazing.  Reading by candle light last night in a house built in 1790 made me feel very "colonial" myself. hahaha!

Kim Kardashian files for divorce 72 days after wedding.  Think she'll give the gifts back ?  Sheesh  . . . . what a freaking joke.

Amazing how badly the northern states got hit! Just above the border here we got really high winds and a lot of rain, but no real damage. We had one tree down in the front yard, so guess we'll have a bit of firewood to burn. LOL.

 Still recuperating from the long dogshow weekend. Trying to get the house tidied up, and got all my flower beds ready for winter. Just have to teach class tonight!

Sorry, but I find it funny.

Me too.  I read somewhere that she made aound 17 million for product placement at her wedding, now she'll reap the benefits of all the magazine and tv interviews too.  How sick are we - those Occupy Wall Street people should be all over this and just shut that whole family down.

I don't follow the celeb news much.  Unless they're on Dancing with the Stars. bwahahaha!  What is that family's claim to fame anyway?  Rich daddy right?   Most of the celeb news I get here and that's plenty for me. lol   I don't have much sympathy for the rich and stupid.

I ate a can of tuna straight from the can for lunch.  Might have been a mistake as it seems to want to hang around in the form of belches.   My cat will love me if this keeps up.

Glad Davey had a good vet visit, calmwaters. :)

Is this the Kardashian that married the basketball player? I am fairly clueless about these things and just asked someone the other day why this family is famous, they didn't know.  just saying my family would make a great sitcom

Jonny, we're all pulling for you and Tessy.  She knows how much you love her and how hard you've been fighting for her.

Paige, I'll keep your grandma in my prayers.  Hopefully, she can at least be comfortable.

Glenda, good luck vibes coming for the adoption.

I decided this would be a good day to cook (in the kitchen, with utensils) and put some chicken cacciatore in the slow cooker this a.m. ... and realized about 1/2 hr. later that I put in the sauce, bell peppers, onions and mushrooms and forgot the chicken.  Fortunately, it wasn't too late to pop it in. No idea at all how it will taste, but it smells good.

Now all I need is the strength to stay out of the Halloween candy until about 9 p.m. when it usually ends.  Hopefully, DS #1 will be here to take the leftovers home.

Yes.  They are famous because of a sex tape that the twice married & divorced Kim had done that went viral.  Her mother is now married to Bruce Jenner, who is a mere shell of the Olympic athlete he was, but the real dad was some rich dude.  Between them all there is no talent unless you consider having a big butt talent.

I only know all this because my DS is addicted to the show and we only have one TV.
