Free Chick-fil-a breakfast!!

Score!

[rooskie]

I forgot to start the coffee pot this am. Guess I'll be late.

I also planned out a cute outfit. Black polka dot shirt, orange statement necklace, black boots. But it's cold as heck out so Notre Dame sweatshirt it is.

Waiting for the contractor to come by later with a quote for some renovations, then we're going on a short hike. Our youngest dog hates them, so that should be fun. We also decided last night that we might want to sell the house we've only been in for a year. Oops.

Is anyone doing pre-Halloween stuff tonight?

[penguin129]

I'm watching GMA. The monster mash smash dub was hilarious. I keep wondering how Barbie and Ken were keeping their boxes on without smashing their heads.

[littlelion]

I'm dragging. Not enough sleep, woke up 3 hrs ago and have yet to drink coffee. This day has to get better.

Warning: About to bring this thread majorly down. Really sorry


Well thanks fucking sick psychopath for ruining halloween for everyone. Someone in my area has been sticking razor blades in candy. So much rage. The Dexter-ish things I want to do to this individual. I hope the police find this person.

Oh my god, singingsea, that's terrifying

[spaceapple]

singingsea, that's awful! Maybe more people will hand out non candy items to be safe?

On a happy note, I made mini quiches last night to have for breakfast and they are delicious!

Right? Nothing makes me more fucking angry than people who hurt kids or animals. I want to go all Sherlock and find this person.

No then that shit head wins. My kid doesn't want a toothbrush/money/toy. Halloween is about candy and we shouldn't let that fucker win. Can you feel my rage?

[wannabmama]

singingsea that's horrible!
I'm exhausted, only slept from 2:30-6am and have to deal with BSC partner today on a deadline. I despise working with her on these types of projects and I'm sure she'll find a way to insult me and/or make me cry today. I'm going to live on coffee and already treated myself to a donut...trying to think what a good lunch treat might be so I can escape her wrath for a few minutes at least.
But..it's Friday!!! So YAY!

I feel you. That's insane. I remember my mom and dad doing a very thorough check of all our candy before we could eat it. It looks like that is still necessary so many years later.

I just want Christmas to be here. Our niece (six-years-old) is coming to stay with us and I am so psyched. I'm going to go bananas on Christmas decorations, movies, foods, presents...

My parents checked our candy too. Last year I did a general check of DS's candy but apparently I'm going to have to go TSA on that shit now. It's unfortunate when horrible people ruin a fun holiday for kids

IDK if this is a thing in your area but I know our church does a trunk or treat and I'm pretty sure the church provides the candy. It's a safe way to do it.

My sister is coming for NYE with my nephew who I haven't seen in like a year and a half. He's 3.5 and I'm so pumped to be aunt Ninny for a week.

Nice, that'll be so fun!  Do they live far away?

We're just getting our niece--SIL is due that week. H reminded me that means we have to be Santa and I legit fell on the floor in happiness.

Holy shit singingsea I just saw that story pop up in my FB trending bar. That is usually just an urban legend people talk about it. So messed up that someone would ACTUALLY do this. Ugh. I am checking DS's candy really well tomorrow even though we are nowhere near where this is happening.

We have a few of those in our area. It's something I've definitely considered but one of my fond memories as a kid was running house to house with my friends. Our town does an event called creepside where it's kind of like a festival and there are vendors and businesses that give out candy. I didn't go this year because last year it was a zoo but I'm probably going to give it another chance.

MH's mom would take their candy to hospital to have it x-ray checked.

I know a lot of hospitals offer to do this and I think that's awesome. Just sad that it's even necessary. It's the world we live in sadly.

Is this day over yet???

[gabride2010]

H and I probably should go down to see his brother's kids ToT tomorrow, but I just don't feel like driving almost 2 hours each way to do it.

[gabride2010]

Sorry doodler

They live like a 14 hour drive away so I usually see them once a year. It's the first time Z will be here in the winter so I really hope it snows even a dusting for him.

Sorry doodler

Thanks!  I'm not actually having a bad day, but it is Friday, and tomorrow I am going to a jewelry show with my Mom, and it's Halloween, and today is 9DPO, so I'm anxious for this day to be over and the weekend to get here!

[TheEleventhHour]

Three day weekend! So excited ... yesterday at work was rough so definitely need to decompress today.

[penguin129]

Does anyone else use Mint? I'm trying to look through our spending and categories for the month but is isn't working. It has given me problems all week. Grr.

[rablissful]

Halloween in a high school is always interesting.

The English department is dressed up as various Star Wars characters, the head being Darth Vader. The teacher next to me has been singing and playing the Star Wars theme all morning. My students were taking a test and she was singing her students' names to the theme. I was trying so hard not to dissolve into a fit of giggles. It was hard.

I'm not costumed, but festive. Black sweater dress, purple tights, and an orange belt. I'll take it.

Yikes! I didn't think this ever really happened in real life. How horrible.
