Is It Halloween yet? (now with actual Halloween)

October 30, 2009 in politics

Or as my kid used to say way back: Halloween already?

Check the Critterati gallery at the New Yorker – and especially my favorite page in it with the best of all dogs: Boongo as the Invisible Man

.And ready for tonight – Boongo Hendrix

.This is NOT a political ad

Mayhem ensued

and on Halloween night, more came in the garden

For me, the festivities begin this evening….. and run through the coming week.

On top of the fact that I am job hunting and still managing pet adoptions….

Busy, busy, busy…. cackle, cackle…..

I’m still deciding whether or not to pick up some candy…just in case. It’s such a waste, for the past 3 years not a single kid’s come to the door so I ended up having to throw bags & bags of it away.

Its sad, but understandable. If my kids were still young, I don’t know if I’d let them go door to door now either.

Buy candy you like to eat yourself. Always a good call….

Last year, I made the mistake of buying Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Three Musketeers. When the kids came, I tried giving them cigarettes instead (stupid for a person who lives in an apartment building, but at that point, those candies were MINE!!).

After a few complaints from parents, I just stopped answering the door and left a Jack-o-Lantern full of candy in the hallway. When it was empty, the party was over.

I don’t think there’s a candy in existence that I don’t like~~except for licorice. Believe me, when it comes to sweets I’m worse than a baby, & my only defense is to keep it completely out of my sight.
