Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween to all my loyal one follower....  I was thinking about the different costumes I had worn for halloween over the years and thought I would share the ones I remember.

The youngest costume I remember wearing was Little Red Riding Hood.  A friend of my mom's from work gave her the red hooded cape and so subsequently that is what I was for years till I outgrew it.  Later when I was in grade 7 I was Santa Claus.  Followed by a few years of being a ghost, just cut holes in a bed sheet..I was just in it for the candy...lol  As an adult costume wearer I have been a clown, flag girl, nerd, Cat in The Hat, witch and this year I am going as Gene Simmons.

I am hoping for a dry night of trick or treating...

Thursday Thirteen

in no particular order or theme here they are.....drum roll please..

1. My niece is having a baby in Dec. and I am making her a quilt.  I bought the material this week and am excited to get it started..

2, The weather has been phenomenal... I am still wearing shorts and a light jacket..

3. Tonight the kids and I are going to Reapers Haunted Attraction.  They do a great job and it's been an annual thing we've been doing, even way back when it was too scary for Nevada.  (this is her second year)  she was totally freaked last year :)

4. Went to see Dr. Eye this morning and everything is good and no sign of glaucoma...

5.After the initial buying of large boxes and bags of Halloween candy when they first came out, I can say I've been following the 12 steps program and have stayed away for a couple weeks now.

6.Went to Kohl's this week and bought the most comfortable fantastic push up bra in the world...I know TMI  especially if there are guys reading this..

7.Hopefully we'll be going to Thailand in little over a month. Been watching the airfares but things aren't dropping like I would like to see. 

8. Side note to number 7  I had to renew Nevada's passport and it still hasn't come back in the mail....

9.Hubby has been catching so many most awesome beautiful salmon that the freezer is flowing to over capacity...Not that I'm complaining but there is no room for ice cream...

10.Today is Grover's birthday..You know the cute little blue guy from Sesame Street.  I remember him when I was little and its cool to know Super Grover is still around.

11.I kind of miss having Survivor on a Thursday night.  It makes me think now that today is Friday and then I get disappointed realizing that its only Thursday.

12.With Em heading off to the Caribbean, it reminds me of  warm sandy beaches. So I am going to win a trip to Jamaica tomorrow morning on the radio.

13. Well that's all she wrote folks...

The food was so awesome if I do say so myself.   I was a little worried about the turkey as it had been in my freezer for a very very very long time but once again my not so secret brine did its magic and made the bird super juicy.  I didn't get a picture of the pies but they were delicious as well.  I don't know why people don't like brussel sprouts we all love them with the exception of Nevada.  The sauce on them was hollandaise. 

Today is a day for relaxing and eating leftovers...I already ate the last piece of the pumpkin cheesecake for breakfast lol

I need to blog

but what about???  I think Facebook has sucked all the literary juice out of me, with its ease of clicking and mindless games... 

Monday is turkey day here in Canada.  The holiday is not quite as big as the US holiday but we do like to bake and eat bird... Just about everyone has the day off or gets paid time and a half for working the stat.   I have the bird unthawing as I type.  I have a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin cheesecake in the oven right now.  We are doing the food orgy tomorrow.   There will just be our immediate family and my friend Traci coming.  I love the prep work and all the yummy leftovers.

well thats about all I can think of...sorry
