Good evening, all,
Our kids have been here and gone; about 40 to 50, most adorable but some WAY too old. Our community upper age limit is supposed to be 12; a lot of the older ones had no costume and were just holding out their t-shirts to cradle the candy. Toward the end I was giving out handfuls. I made my purchase at 5pm today so I wouldn't eat it all........and still some of the Twix made it in my mouth!
Sylvia.........Well, it's been over 24 hrs., personally, I'm hoping the little guy gets a good home with your ill friend. You have gone above and beyond to find his owners if they are local.
Terri and Vicki.......Brrrrrrrrrrr......
Margaret........Pencils, well, I think it's a good idea too. I have a friend with a husband who is a dentist.........one year they gave out toothbrushes......not popular!
Barbie........Love your kitties!!!
Cindy........How very sweet of your DH to carry the old pug girl around.
Joyce.........Hope the visit went well. Fingers crossed!
Juanita..........Hi!!
Kataniki..........I'm with you about not getting drawn in to others drama; my DD (22 now) (and her friends) has been known to exaggerate circumstances and events somewhat. Every situation is different, but usually I found refusing to participate in the outrage and anger about the unfairness of life (or whatever event), etc. by listening only for a limited amt. of time, speaking slowly and calmly and asking how they were going to eventually deal with it to be effective to take the air out of their drama queen posturing many times. I have been known to say: " We are resolving nothing. This conversation is terminated for the time being." to my DD and turn and walk away. I found that often the more she spoke the more she fed off the story and got more wound up.
Cynthia.......Neat pic!
G'nite everyone!
yanniejannie.........Oh, no--turned the heat on for the first time today.........

Ok, let's be honest tonight. How many ate candy???? My husband always hopes for huge amount of people so he bought a 230 piece bag. We had 18. We bought those little mini pieces and he was giving out 2 pieces. When I answered the door I gave out a handful not counting at all. I knew his secret. He wanted more leftover for him.sneaky. As soon as we turned the outside lights off he felt to go Karoaking. That means I was alone with a big bag of scrumptious candy terrible man I ate enough I had tod delete my healthy bedtime snack and my evening popcorn. But I entered it all in my diary. Then I remembered that they didn't bring my salad right tonight at Denny's. I had to ask for the glazed pecans and cranberries. S I afe only a teeny wheezy amount of the cranberries and no pecans. I also didn't eat the garlic bread all of this is included in the total calorie count of the meal. So that dropped quite a bit off the meal, actually down to the allowed but the nutrition of it was awful. I hope I have Biden the mixing bowl where I will forget it. But what woman does not remember where she put the chocolate??? I will have to Charlie to rehide it. We will give the remains to Mixhelle when she comes over Sunday. I should have taken it over to her place of work tonight but it's just to cold out.
Enough of my confession tonight, Joyce, Indianaq0 -
Do dried cranberries taste good in plain oatmeal. I have some left over from supper. I also have all my glazed pecans but those will probably go to Charlie? But I do want to make use of the cranberries

Barbie - Loved your pumpkin costume.
I was Beaker today.
Joyce- You are only human and some situations are more difficult to deal with than others. Leave it in God's hands and he will show you the perfect time.
Sylvia - I'm glad that poor dog is with someone as caring as you.
Renny - Massages are one of my favourite things. I don't think you can get them often enough.
Doctors still don't know what is going on with me. I guess we'll continue with tests and different medications. Hopefully they figure it out soon. It hasn't had any impact on my weight. After 2 weeks I am exactly the same as I was.
DH had his colonoscopy on the 30th, this is the 2nd one since his bout with diverticulitis that some him turning grey and being rushed to hospital. It is also the 2nd time that they didn't get through. He will be sent to Calgary in the next few weeks for more specialized tests. Never thought life would be this way.
Wore my Beaker costume to work and felt like a celebrity. One child jumped up and beeped my nose.
Did Halloween crafts with 2 of my granddaughters. Watched Mickey Mouse with them because "relaxating is good for you, Grandma". I had the pleasure of helping Princess Anna from Frozen and a magical Unicorn get ready to go out.
The little ones are good for my soul.

I weighed myself this morning and I'm at my lifetime high: 182. I'm 5'2". As today is November 1st, I am recommitting myself to Move More, Eat Less. I hadn't been trying all that hard before, and look where it got me.
For breakfast today I had one hardboiled egg, 1 1/2 oz lowfat cottage cheese, and 1/2 C. blueberries. Now I'm going out for a walk before this storm we're expecting hits. Right now it's quite windy with blue skies and puffy white clouds - a good time for walking.
