Happy belated Halloween to all.  While it's not my favorite holiday of the year, I did have fun trying to come up with just the right costume for what-I-don't-know.  

For the last few years I've always had the same costume and it's never been a challenge to try to think of what I'd be for Halloween; though I don't remember the last time I actually dressed up so that might explain why I decided to get rid of said costume.  Suffice it to say, I realized two days before The Big Day that I didn't have my standby costume on hand and I was left to try to figure out what I'd wear... this challenge was compounded by the fact that Jeffrey takes great pride in coming up with some pretty incredible costumes and I'd be expected to share space with him during the evening - I couldn't let his public down!  Fortunately, by throwing some things together and having Jeffrey do my makeup, I was able to become a goth vampire for the night.

Happy Birthday to Valerie Corby (I edited this to include her last name since I'm not sure she reads my blog regularly and I wanted her to find this if she decides to google herself - who doesn't do that from time to time?!?)...  I hear rumor on facebook that she's not feeling so hot today so I'm sending healthy thoughts and prayers her way.  For those who don't know, she's my cousin and the best grilled cheese maker I know - I won't spoil her secret but I will say that I've not been able to do mine the same way... of course I add apples and that makes a difference.  Anyway, I hope her birthday is great!

Happy November!  Fall is still my favorite time of year and even with the warmer weather we're experiencing this weekend you can still see the beautiful colors and smell the change in the seasons, so what better way to celebrate than to add an extra hour to the night!  I'm not sure how everyone else will be spending that time, but I intend to be in bed making up for the sleep I lost last night... hmmm, maybe we should always have the time change the night after Halloween...

Things are good.  I feel peace in my heart and it takes more than all my fingers and toes to count my blessings.

Time to sleep through an extra hour...
