HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

happy day before halloween friday!!

Happy Friday Morning everyone! I'm soo glad for the weekend to get here. And its the day before halloween, so things should be a little festive at work today. Well, at least I hope so! I should run into the kitchen and make something yummie to take in, but then, I will want to eat it..

Anyone out there dressing up this weekend? I'm not dressing up.. but I recieved some little trinkets from my secret witch sister from Genenvieves swap, and I made them into barrettes so I will be wearing spiders, bats and mice in my hair today. and probablytomorrow too..

Got all my laundry done.. and going to brockport right from work to get grocerys.. then my big jobs will be done and I wont have to do anything this weekend but putter and play. I do have a Longaberger party to go in the morning, probably wont buy anything.. but a bunch of my girlfriends will be there, so I cant pass on going.. besides.. it'll give me a reason to wear my mouse and bug barrettes again!

Finally finished my punch needle pumpkin project (above).

I love how it turned out!

oh.. one more thing..

lost another 3 pounds this past week!

yeehaw!!!

came home to a little surprise!

I am not afraid of mice.. and I do actually think they are cute for the most part.. In fact there was a time in my life when I had a couple of fat rats for pets. but I dont like to be surprised by any type of little critter running around in my house!

I came in after being out to dinner with 4 girlfriends.. (such fun!) and frannie and figgy did not come running to see me... I went into the kitchen and they were extremely interested in something else that was hiding behind the vacuum cleaner that I had left out yesterday! I moved it a little and out it came!! My son and his buddy came out and wanted to catch it.. so Now I had two adult?? boys and 2 cats after one litte (though rather large) mouse! it ran towards me.. and up onto the chair I jumped.. as I screamed ummm.... and screamed.. umm.. a few times...

robert caught it.. then held it in front of the cats noses.. it was jumping around and I thought it would bite them.. so I screamed again.. get it out of here!! He said he was going to kill it.. and then I screamed some more.. "YOure not going to kill it!! take it out and let it go in the cemetary!! " then he started out the door talking about how it would come back in and he was going to have to kill it.. so I ran in the bathroom and opened the window and screamed some more at my husband... "dont let him kill that thing!! make him let it go.." I got a "what the hell are you talking about and whats going on in there?" then I yelled some more telling him about what was going on.. as my son carried the poor thing by the tail out to the barn to show him!

I dont know what happen to the mouse..

frannie and figgy are still looking for it!

and I have a sore throat!!!!!!!
