Today I passed out the remainder of my at-work halloween candy. I'll take down the cobwebs on Monday. Tomorrow we are going to carve our pumpkins and buy candy for the trick-or-treaters I expect. I really do hope we get some.
When I was in 8th grade, I had a crush on a boy that lived in my neighborhood. My three girlfriends and I chaparoned my (then) little brother for trick-or-treating. We totally went to that boys house. His dad was just sitting on the porch handing out candy. One of my friends asked if he was home. Yes he was. At this point I was probably red and mortified and I can't remember if anything else was said at that house. We continued down the street. Near the end, some kid goes racing by on the sidewalk. It was him! OMG! (I did not say OMG in 8th grade, but it holds the connotation of foolish drama) None of the girls noticed! phew! Then I was dumb and said something to them, so one of the girls chased him down. OMG! I think she, or maybe all 3, told him that I liked him, blah blah blah. Then it was arranged for him to walk next to me alone, while I'm trying to use Matthew as some sort of akward conversation shield. He actually asked me out and I declined. It was the most rediculous of rediculous situations. We actually started 'going out' a week or two later, but since he was a crush and not a friend, we never talked to each other and it was rediculous and akward. THE END.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
What's your favorite ghost story or urban myth?
Love,
The Asker

Ah yes......I remember that Halloween and all the giggling about that episode. Matthew had no clue. All he was interested in was the candy! :)
The urban myth about waking up in a hotel bathroom covered in ice because one of your kidneys has been removed is probably one of my favorites.........
and yet.....it was probably based on something happening..........
Happy Halloween to all!
My word verification was 'imerill'
Kristen,
if you try the black thread idea.....it really does feel like you are walking thru cob webs.
At night, the black thread does not show up....and people are focusing on your door and candy and looking thru their mask, etc.
Word verification 'wayoff'
Ha! It is interesting to see what my word is going to be.......
I'm going to a workshop today and will miss all the fun at school today.
Kristen,
Well, I had company all week. Jessica and Jake decided that we should all suffer together. Nick has taken to calling himself and his father "THE IMMUNE" and refering to the rest of us as "THE SICKIES."
Jessica is quite worried about how this will affect Halloween for her.
My favortie urban myth.....
HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!
Bob would comment that if I were a REAL princess, the ending would hold true. So I repeat...
HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!
@ The Minears,
My father just returned from Japan. He commented that he left Tokyo and somehow in flight the world went from polite, well-dressed, thoughtful and hard-working, to having gained at least 180 pounds per person and being loud, rude and slovenly dressed. He clearly loves Japan. But then again, in Asia, they think he is really tall!!
Halloween recap...
Our little cul-de-sac has grown up. The only trick or treaters that came to our door were my own kids (if you are willing to include Tommy as one of my children, and we pretty much do.)
Jessica was a zombie bride! She looked great and it was fun!
Nick was a whoopie cushion and so impressed someone that they took his picture!
Jacob was a mafia member...or a jazz/fusion musician, whichever you find scarier.
Tommy was Captain Kirk, with his awesomely proof-of purchase cereal box Capt. Kirk shirt!!
The boys took off and slunk around Plum Creek and Jessica and I ran into town for extra fun. We assured Tommy and Jacob that the only way they could get candy was to escort Nick, and they all had a great time.
Only two people answered? Everyone else must have been too busy partying.
Mom, I just realized that my shirt is inside-out. I wore it to the grocery store like this. It feels so much better when there isn't a tag on my neck. I remember hearing the Kidney Story.
Anne, aww, 'happily ever after'?
Well, Kristen, I am rather sarcastic most of the time. AND being married and raising three kids is MANY MANY MANY more days of tireless work and determination than it is days of Happily Ever After, which implies relaxing fun and enjoyment. Not to imply that there is no happiness, just to scathe at the absurdity of fairy tales.
BUT...speaking of relaxing fun and enjoyment.....Bob, Jake, Nick and I are going to see the Red Elvises this Friday. (Jessica is NOT too happy!) Bob had us all donate an old pair of shoes, which he has painted for us. Our goal is to get the Elvises to sign our orginal-artwork shoes.
Bob...Industrial work boots painted a metallic army green. I can't tell you how impressive they look!!
Mine...a lovely old pair of Joan N David boots with pointy toes spray painted GOLD!!! AWESOME!!
Jacob...not done...in production.
Nick...an old pair of my boots from when I worked in the labs, painted bright yellow and with radioactive warning signs on them!!! AWESOME!!
