Tonight I sit here with a bag of candy and NO ONE has knocked on my door. Such is the case with me and Halloween. If I don't buy the candy they swarm my front porch like scary moths, but if I buy the candy they stay away like vampires avoiding the sun. I remember last year going outside and snagging kids off the street trying to get them to take my candy.....then I saw this strange look in one dad's eyes and I thought maybe I was being a little pushy. So I retreated to my house and turned out the lights.
My friends Gail and David mailed me this coin purse with a Starbucks card inside for Halloween. The card came with a sticker on it saying I could download two iTunes for FREE. What a great, goofy thing to get in the mail. Sue sent me a cute card with a kitten wearing a witches hat. It is this goofiness that makes me like Halloween....and my goofy friends. Thank you friends.

Nice coin purse!
I just read this orange one and my eyes will never be the same. Your activities practically mirror mine on Halloetc. I bought a smallish (I thought) bag of everything Tootsie Rolls and I had three batches of door knockers and now its over and I have Tootsie Rolls out my ears.
Same with me. Small assortment bag of candy and not one child rang my doorbell. I brought the candy into the ofc and put it out with everyone else's leftovers.

I do not partake in Halloween.....I have never understood the phrase "Happy" Halloween....what does that mean?
Denise, you are being a Halloweener.
Back at you Hannaweener.........
Anyone dress up? Trick or treat? Only two at my door this year...wait, one was UPS so only one. The UPS guy did take some candy though.
Well, we've both been through the same teachings, warnings, etc. about this holiday ... with the witches, ghosts, scary things, etc. ... but you gotta love the baffled, bumbling Aunt Clara on TV's Bewitched! :)
Mike was a biker zombie (not a far stretch) and I was a mad scientist (not a far stretch). Leanna, age 17, was a little girl, stuffed animal and all. Mia was a Cleopatra with the sprayed on black hair.
We had fun roaming a nearby neighborhood with the other crowds of families.
The two most EviL things of all that evening was the copious amounts of candy, and the ghastly spraycan hair fumes.
I hate it, but we loved it.
