Yup, I do give out tooth brushes, BUT I also give out full sized candy bars :) And since Halloween is a Friday this year, for the grown ups that are walking around with the little ones, I'll be handing out cups of hot, spiced, rum infused cranberry apple cider (that's assuming that I don't drink it all myself before my neighbors show up :rolleyes: )

Full sized candy bars....yikes..

Fuming @ the ski shop that mounted the bindings on my new Celebrities. :angry: B's going to check it out and let me know if I should have let them have it.

Trying to figure out what the heck I should throw together for dinner.

Wishing I could go to sleep right now. For some reason, I'm exhausted. Couldn't possibly be because I chased after 2 little kids for 7 hrs outside the house today. :roll:

I just got home from another mentally exhausting day. One of my engineers accidentally took out internet services for one of our main offices today. Whoops. It really wasn't his fault though, but he took it pretty hard.

Same shit, different day for me...........That's a good thing :)

I'm heading to volleyball for a couple hours. Maybe spiking the ball for a while will help my mental well being, since the anticipation of ski season is driving me nuts!

The bindings B ordered had lifter plates and I wanted them flat mounted. So the dude said he could, he'd just have to grind down the screws (for an extra $10). I dropped them off 1 week ago and he said they'd be done today. I showed up at 3:30PM (shop closes @ 5) and right away he says "Oh yeah, we didn't get around to yours yet. Do you want me to do them right now?" Uh, yeah. "Oh, but I need to grind down the screws so it will take a while...do you have any errands you can run?" Uh, no. I spent all afternoon doing that and now have 2 cranky kids on my hands. I'm not putting them back in the car. So after waiting a while, he comes out...and says that there's a dimple in one of my skis because he didn't grind the screw down enough; but no worries, he shortened it more and reinserted it...and the dimple will not affect the ski function at all. Oh yeah, and because I told you you didn't have to leave your boots, you'll have to check forward pressure when you get home.

:angry:

Not going there again.

That's horrible. I wouldn't go there either.

I am eating candy intended for the little beggars that dress up funny and come to our home each year.

I bought a bunch of candy this year as there are at least a dozen screaming kids in my complex, so I though for certain they'd be coming door to door. Nope....shut out


I think it's the weirdest thing that kids go trick or treating on the 30th in New Hampshire. In Vermont the day before Halloween was called cabage night....the night the older kids would go out and wreak havoc with toilet paper and eggs. If it weren't for the Ct river, things could get ugly on the border :lol:
