Something evil this way comes...







So Halloween has traditionally been a favorite holiday. Weird, yes I know. Even weirder probably to those of you believers who think its "wrong" Whatever. The holiday is what you make it. I personally LOVE to see cute little (and big) kids beat on my door and say "trick or treat" or the ever popular "gimme some candy" Well, I did LOVE this until today. Until this little kid showed me the true meaning of "he needs some discipline." There I was, handing out Reese's Cups and Snickers, when this little boy handed me back my Reese's and said "I am allergic to nuts... Got anything else?" I had already given him a snickers, so I said " No, sorry, this is all I have. So he turned to walk away, but "something" made him pause. He grabbed the snickers out of his pumpkin and said " Does this have nuts? To which I replied, " yes, sorry, it does" And here it is, the big moment. The kid proceeds to THROW the snickers at me and run. Now his Mama, was laughing saying " well, at least he knows he can't have it!" HELLLOOO, your child threw a Snickers at ME" In addition, I ran out of candy, I gave over 60 pieces out, and even after I turned off my light and blew out my Jack-O- Lantern, I still got knocks. I must say, I am reconsidering that part of my Halloween obsession. What I won't reconsider is my love of pumpkins, carvings, and hayrides. ( See above).

Up and Running and Birthday Bananza!

Ok, so now that I finally have some pictures up, I am officially sending links to everyone!
Today was my 29th birthday, and seriously, I think it was one of my best ever :) I started my day snuggling with the dogs and the hubby, followed with yummy breakfast at J Christopher's with my friend Sam ( that place is SOOO GOOD, oh the potatoes) , got a surprise facial as a gift from my sweet hubby ( shout out to Spa Venessa, they always treat me well) , went to Michael's to get new picture frames, and finished the day with a YUMMY dinner at The Real Chow Baby surrounded by 14 people I love and cherish. Thanks for all the calls, texts and "Happy Birthdays" I say this so much, but Mike and I are truly blessed to be surrounded by so many people we love!
Tommorrow is back to work For now, I am pooped and headed to bed with sweet visions of birthday cake dancing in my head!

Up and Running .
