It's Halloween Eve and I still have the bag of full size Reese's p-butter cups, I bought to give out. WIN!

There was a water main break today before I even left home. I called when I got home and luckily the apartment manager answered. So the guy told the operations manager everything was done and I got that text almost an hour before the message went out to the complex about water being back and that there was a boil advisory. Nothing appeared to be done since I left this morning. In fact, the piece of toilet paper I believe I left in the bowl this morning was still there. I don't know what this guy is thinking. I did today's call and last night's right by the toilet so you can hear the water running. I hope they replace him. I'm not sure what his deal is, but he had a nice built-in excuse today that he could not check on it, and instead he apparently told the operations manager everything was fine.  |

Good Evening Kids! The temps are dropping "bigly" here. By the time the poor trick-or-treaters get here tomorrow night, we could have a bit of snow, and temps below freezing. Amazing when I was outside yesterday walking in the neighborhood without needing a jacket.

Good Morning Kids! Sorta. There was steady rain coming down earlier this morning, a sound I haven't heard in quite awhile. But now, it is turning into sNOw. Unbelievable!  |

We got 2.5 inches of rain overnight. There was more rain after the 7 AM cutoff for rain totals for last night.
Sump pump is doing it's job. It's a good think I can stream for television because the Dish went out early in the evening.

My DSonIL text me, asking if they will see me, this weekend.
I replied, Are you coming to visit?

The weatherman lied, as the snow is sticking. It'll be interesting to see how many kids come to the door tonight. So far, 4 kids, one little one dressed in a cute cow costume "Cow!"  |

Hello gang! Wow, a ton of kids -- I think the neighborhood pastor brought the church gang over, which was actually nice!

I don't think I'm going to get any Trick or Treaters, this year.
Bummer.
When I was young, I heard about kids that went to Apts, to trick or treat. I was always jealous, because lots of candy, in a short distance and you were inside.
(I didn't live near any apts)
Trunk or Treat has changed Halloween, as we know it.

Happy Friday peeps! I get a quick visit this morning, as my 10 am appt was moved to 10:45. I will return a library book on the way, but I am doing laundry and getting ready for Sunday's race in the meantime. I will swim tomorrow and make a Walmart stop - I need paper towels and butter for cookies for DH. I will also peruse the Thanksgiving goods for cheaper non-perishables that I can get now.

We definitely went to the 2 apartment buildings that came to be built in our neighborhood. It was a fast grab of candy in our minds.

Happy Saturday peeps! Until an hour ago, I was up to my eyeballs in cookie dough and lasagna noodles! But the dough is done (I will bake a few for DH later, as I have a race tomorrow) and the lasagna is put together for dinner tomorrow. I did swim and get to Walmart this morning (did not buy the half-off Halloween candy, though I considered it). Also washed the kitchen floor, since it had everything from spilled sugar to juice on it.

Good Morning Kids! I've been so busy, I didn't report back on Halloween, but we had 35 kids at the door, so I've got too much candy left.  Gotta keep moving, as DD & her DH are coming over later today to help celebrate my birthday. |

DD just came over to visit her freezer. They bought a pig and she gave me several packages of pork as payment for babysitting.

I read the first sentence and before I even started on the second one my brain was on the EE frEEzer. And then I read on...my brain is obviously trying to get out of its Halloween mode LOL. I am a bit jealous of your ability to babysit your littles ones so often. |

And I wondered who she was visiting. Just making sure they were still there. |
