Good morning, Dee! And all to come! And again, I hope you have a great trip, Dee!
Happy Halloween, I guess. This is not my favorite holiday, either. At least, since dh retired, we don't have to worry quite so much about people "rolling" our yard. (Covering it w/toilet paper, you know.) And that is NOT just a Halloween night prank around here. Dbil's yard has been done twice in the last month. It's not just something kids do to be mean, they do it to their friends, too -- constantly. But, I don't believe ours has been done at all since dh's retirement.
I'm just not crazy about strangers in masks wandering around, coming to the door. Seems like there are always some that are a bit too old.
And all the scary associations w/the holiday are not my favorite way to have fun, either.
My dbro, at 40, however, is still a Halloween nut. He just told me how he & his "not the girlfriend" have already been to Halloween/Fright Night celebrations @ Universal Studios and Busch Gardens, plus something else downtown, and will probably go somewhere tonight.
I think it has been his favorite holiday since he was a toddler.
If w*lmart . com has a really good price on the Electrolux vacuum cleaner I want right now, chances are that price will be even better on Black Friday, right? The price isn't going to go UP between now & Christmas, is it? Do y'all think I should wait
and see what sort of sales I can find on Black Friday, or should I go ahead and buy it NOW? The price is less than $350. I think I have worn down dh, and I'm just going to follow his instructions to "Buy it! Do whatever you want! Throw the Kirby out in the trash if you want to!"
* sigh * My minutes have disappeared. I must s2s.
This working every day business IS getting old. Part of me REALLY does not want to go back next year -- mainly b/c I am just getting TIRED. But another part of me says I really do not want to leave before dniece graduates. * sigh *
And one more year = over $1700 per year in the long run. I don't want to do it only for the $$$, but after today, the $$$ DOES become a consideration.
At any rate, I'm committed to do it TODAY... so I guess I better s2s and get at it.
