Avoiding Halloween

Well, we spent several hours tonight in a nearly completely dark house, trying desperately to avoid the trick or treaters who insist on coming up to our door, even though the lights are all out and the doorbell is disconnected. Terry even thinks he heard the first batch try the doorknob! Cheeky little fellows, aren’t they?

Our neighbor’s property was toilet papered last night. Glad it wasn’t us; that would have really ruined my mood to wake up to that this morning. 🙂

A productive day, even if I didn’t get my workout time on DDR. 😉 I still cleaned out half of the garden, threw away all of the dead hanging and other potted plants on the porch, took Phoebe for a walk, chatted with the guys across the street, made ranch cream cheese rollups for consumption some day this week, made dinner, did some dishes, took a picture of my Heirloom Memories sampler in progress and finished stitching an old project that I found the other day. I started stitching this purse kit for my mother several years ago (apparently, back when I wasn’t as fastidious a stitcher) and since there was only backstitching left to do, I decided to finish it for an additional Christmas present for her for this year. I finished the stitching tonight and posted a scan. I also posted a scan of the Heirloom Memories sampler. I haven’t touched it since earlier this week, but it’s still coming along nicely.

And I just received a new model stitching project this weekend – WOOHOO! I’m very excited about this one, as the colors are all my favorites and it’s my first hardanger model. Only problem is that I only have one set of scroll bars available and they’re not long enough, so I’ll have to run out (hopefully tomorrow) and buy another set. I could use an additional pair of side bars anyway; I only have two.

I have a presentation to give tomorrow that I haven’t really prepared for, so… that’s all folks!
