INDEED!!

Tyrone? No.
Teague? No.
Tealc? Is that it??? It always reminds me of baby powder.

I had CANDY for dessert. Hubby finished off the last of the pumpkin pie. I think I might bake tomorrow. Maybe. Or I might just g out and buy that cheesecake I have been pining over. OR... I might wait, and order one from QVC. They have some fancy cheesecakes there.

I'm not even sure where DS hid his candy? Although he did bring me out several Almond Joy's last night and said...here I don't like these you can have them!

If I had to have another child...I think I would want it to be a surprise. I've done both ways and surprise was more fun. But I can see with the stress and worry of having twins that it would definitely make things easier knowing ahead of time.

I find it is most beneficial to just bury my head in the sand and pretend it isnt happening. I have been such a ding bat lately, that im surprised I can remember my kids names.

I still have the pumpkin pie from Costco....that thing is like trying to eat Plymouth Rock! It's stoo big I tell ya!

My husband has been packing a large chunk of it away.. I had no idea he liked pumpkin pie so much.

OMG, I almost spit out my coke when I read this. Yes, it's Teal'c.

I think Costco's pumpkin pie is magical. Every other pumpkin pie I've had just doesn't cut it! My bf's family devoured it at the BBQ. They thought I made it and I said the ingredients were pumpkin, cinnamon, sugar and Costco.

TEALC!!! Good girl!

Mmmm... That sounds GOOD. The kids got one each. They were gone Halloween night, after they went to bed. I snatched up one... and I was getting ready to snatch up the other one when Frelan looked at me all puppy dogish. So he got it.

If I let my kids keep their candy... Im pretty sure Mikalah would beat up her brother and eat both buckets full.

Uh Oh Megan. I was checking out the election results and it looks like they haven't reported Pierce, Thurston or Cowlitz county results. Looks like you and I are going to be the deciding votes for the governor's race!

My older sister and I did the EXACT same thing when we were kids! We would take out all the almond joy's and mounds bars and try to trade them away to friends or we would give them to my parents.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Oh! Alex- I was at Walmart and they had Starbucks ground coffee on sale for $7/EA. I don't know if you buy it and make it at home but just wanted to share.

Uh oh.. I am WAY unsure of my vote to. I just kinda... marked one.

Howdy Hyenas! Looks like Obama is our new president. I hope you will all join me in a prayer for him, regardless of our political affiliations or religion.

We need to support all of our new leaders and pray that they make wise choices, bring our troops home safely and work together to help build a strong economy.

sniffle sniffle, I'm all teary eyed now. But I know my DN wouldn't agree .. he considers a pull out as taking away his job.

hubby and I like umm there's a whole lot of other things you can do as a Marine.. your job is not going anywhere young man-- now get your butt somewhere safe.

E stepped out for a smoke-- heard the neighbors cheering loudly in the other building with Obama's acceptance speech

Local TV is droning on and on about local races -- too close to call. There's a high chance they will need to do a hand count on the Senator race. I like the spirit of an Independent tossing a hat into a race (heck MN has voted in an independent for Governor in the past) -- but it skews the results.

We had an amendment measure that would provide funding to protect our water, but they bundled it with funds for the arts. Too much tax, chances are that won't pass. Leaving it blank counted as a No vote.
Hope they try to revise and take a stab at it again when they can.

This would help protect our lakes from other states-- darn you California! Get your own water and leave our beautiful Lake Superior alone. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbft!

I voted for Dino. I figured anybody that names their kid after the Flintstones dino dog must have a sense of humor that runs in their family. Not only that he went to school and must have gotten teased terribly, yet still became a successful adult. Well that and for some reason I don't really like Christine Gregoire. Although I have to say it's almost like we live in a foreign land down here. I swear the rest of WA could fall off the map and unless I heard about it from you and Alex I wouldn't have a clue. Now ask me about Oregon politics and I can tell you everything you want to know.

 

[staley7580]

I need a snack. What to have... A steak and mashed potatoes sound tasty.. But not so snacky, eh?

 

[funnygarcia]

A slice of cheese and an apple-- mmmmmm . Too bad I have neither.

Hmmm.. I voted for Gregiore. Not reason.. Just cause she was already doing the job.

You know... DS4 kept sneaking candy out of his bag, so I put them both up high. I put DS8's in the cupboard over the stove (that's where we keep the breakfast cereal), and I shoved DS4's bag in the back corner of the counter.

I kept finding little empty Dots boxes and other candy wrappers, figuring the kids were getting into the candy after all. But tonight DS8 asked if he could have a piece of his Halloween candy for dessert. I said, "Sure. Get it yourself." He said, "Mama, I can't! It's way up high!"

So guess I know who's been eating the Halloween candy, huh? Little monkey. Why did I put him in gymnastics again???

Hiya Bernice! I now have 2 nephews and a step brother in the Army. One nephew just started basic training this week. I know we need a military to protect us and I am proud that they are serving. But on the other hand I think it's time to start bringing them home to safety and let the Iraqi's take control of their country.

Don't know why they bundle so many things together. We had a transportation bill that had lots of components to it, so I voted no. Although about half of the components I liked.

Uh-huh... THATS why I put the candy way up high in our top cabinet. Above the microwave.. and the dishes. She cant get to it, even on a chair. I know. She has tried.

 

[funnygarcia]

I'm glad the cnady is down to just suckers now.. less temptation staring us down. Like a big sign saying " eat me! "

Thanks, pix, but Walmart is too far away, I go there about 3 or 4 times a year.

I should've put DS4's bag up higher... But then I suppose he'd be eating DS8's candy instead of his own, right?
