Today: work. I am going to call the a/c people about our unit and getting it fixed. I know, you're wondering why we're having it fixed now, with winter coming. Well the store is a little hot box and I don't want my staff to bake. I also have paychecks to write. Tonight we're invited to two parties, but I am still on the fence about going. I want to hand out candy in the hood here because last year we got kids coming by!! Kev is thinking after the candy delivery we could go, but the parties are in Northeast and North Portland (about a 35 minute drive away). On any other night, I'd be there. But this week has been chock full (read above) and an evening at home sounds perfect to me...we'll see.

You've been very busy! Good luck with the a/c!
Happy Halloween! I hope you have a great evening, whatever you decide to do :)
I reckon we'll find out your decision by phone tomorrow.
You did have a very busy week.
We had quite a few kids come by our house last night. Some of them were so cute. Particularly the littler ones.
We even had a couple carrying a baby. The kiddo couldn't have been much older than 3-4 months. It had the cutest smile complete with twinkling eyes.
