Countdown

the deep insanity of the season is upon us...
the remainder of the month is all activity, and apart from the manic nature of it all, i couldn't be happier. ok, i could be happier if each of the next 11 days was full of cool (not cold) sunny days and crisp evenings, and a few thunderstormey nights. but it's not nice to mess with mother nature, so...

yes, when it's all over i WILL have to sit back and heave out a sigh and wonder how i made it through it all with even a shred of sanity left (and then immediately start planning and working toward Thanksgiving and then Christmas) but for now, i am looking blissfully forward to the next week and half... i can feel the energy already building in me and i'm GIDDY.

i think my daughter might actually understand Hallowe'en this year. i still feel compelled to do some test runs of the whole trick or treating thing... and i'm still fairly certain she's not going to want to do any of the pumpkin gut scraping... still, again, whatever.... but she's super plus ready to be a cow...
her moo is PERFECT.

we're working out the bugs of arragning an OFFICIAL at work trick or treating session for my department... i think this might be an actual first in the company... i'm beyond geeked... i'm sure you can guess... odd bit is that I'm not the one who approached the boss about it. i thought about it, but i have something of a reputation as a boat-rocker already... surprise.

ok - that's about it for right now. if it stays low, i might pop in again later... hopefully with a better something to throw your way...
