Halloween

W back again. I want adult trick or treating. Why should the kids have all the fun? Remember Halloween when you were a kid? the excitement? "what am I going to be? how much candy will I get? who's going to have the best costume?" I miss that.

We dressed up as couch potatoes and watched a "Supernatural" marathon. We got our annual one group of trick or treaters. Just the kids in the complex, top of the hill and off the main drag cuts down on the kiddies. Hope everyone else had a great time.

Happy Halloween to all you ghost and goblins.

Half way there

It's Wednesday. We're almost there. W doesn't have to work this weekend so we are planning on doing nothing. Does that mean we are doing something?

It's supposed to be nice on Saturday so hopefully I can get a nice long run in. I did 5 miles last Sunday and it was so nice! I would've liked to go further but I didn't have water with me. I'll have to plan a little better.

We get that extra hour of sleep on Sunday Morning. It's like a little reward for getting our sunlight taken away from us.

Ello Gov'na!

What's with the Patriots playing Tampa Bay in England? Do the British even care? Seems like a waste of fuel to me.

What's next The England Elite VS Los Pumas at Foxboro Stadium??

Never say never

Just a word to the wise. Just don't say it or 6 months down the road you're in a car dealership by yourself signing your life a way with a brand new car. Or you'll end up living on a street with speed bumps. It's true, it happened to me.

Be careful what you say.

BTW - this doesn't work with the lottery, I've already tried, many times.

Friday Off

W here, E and I are taking some vacation days. Yesterday we went out and shopped for a pumpkin. Today E carved it and it looks great even if she says she messed it up. It's 3 ghosts looking all scary can't wait to see it lit up. She also toasted the pumpkin seeds. MMMMM.....

Meanwhile I tweaked my Applecrisp recipe to add some cranberries. It was awesome. E is so lucky she married a guy who can cook. (right now I'm patting myself on the back for being a good cook.) Now if I can only get her to eat more than chicken. Just kidding she loved the Cran-apple Crisp and I did too.

Hope everyone else is enjoying their week.

Days off

W had yesterday off and was supposed to write the blog. I had to work.

We both have Thursday and Friday off. We're going apple picking and antiquing. Tee-hee. Just kidding. I'm just seeing if W is reading this. Though I think I would like to get a pumpkin. Oooh, and carve it. Yum, pumpkin seeds.

Tonight my company is having a big shin dig in Boston for their anniversary. I'm going so W is on his own. Tomorrow and Thursday I'm having dinner with friends.

W's brother's friends asked him back to play poker for Friday night. I think they want their money back.

And the winner is . . .

EC!!!

I won an award from the In House Agency Forum (IHAF). IHAF is an design/marketing organization that I belong to. I won first place for the direct mail category. I can't believe it, now I can update my resume and on-line portfolio to say that I am an "award winning" designer. The other designer I work with also won an award so it was an overall good evening for the team.

I've attached a pdf of the design that won. The piece was cut out in the shape of a fryer basket.

Happy Anniversary!!

Today is W's and mine two year anniversary. We're going out to dinner. He's the best husband ever. I could continually gush but you probably won't want to hear it.

I have to work late. This makes it hard to stop at the store and buy a card. Oh, since I'm at work, I'll make him one.
