the wib community has sure come up with some excellent suggestions!
i challenge you to beat my 'BEST IDEA YET'! (i think it's really good)
Let's keep 'em coming!
:)
Am still dressed up for Halloween - wore my cat headband and tail all day... got loads of compliments :) ...even showed my condo to a new-never-met-before-potential-buyer in the outfit - when the guy left, he said "like your cat ears". i had forgotten we were discussing condo fees and hardwood floors and water heaters with the kitty outfit :) (he won't be interested in buying...he's seen me as a cat)
I've had a few trick-or-treater's so far... in this part of the country, it's customary to DO a trick or tell a joke... so I've heard a few cheezy ha-ha's already :) Hope it picks up a bit - was looking forward to the doorbell ringing every minute.
Instead of a chocolate pumpkin cake... I'll be making a real pumpkin bread cake! So... it will be pumpkin bread mix...baked in a fancy bundt pan (bunt? bundt?) anyway - it's the pan with the hole in the middle, but a fancy one with ridges. I think i'll start that now b/c the doorbell isn't ringing off it's rocker. ..with lemon icing? i don't have pumpkin flavored extract... so i was gonna go for lemon? plain vanilla wouldn't be bad either... we'll just see how the mood strikes!!!!
:)
And, I must thank the entire community... you have exceeded my expectations! I met my total # visitors this past month compared to my first month of September... and you were generous enough to give me four additional visits! My cup runneth over :) You helped me reach my goal! Thanks - it was a great pick-me-up... and makes me feel good. You know, like I matter...as though what I contribute here is meaningful in some way...
(um, no - there aren't self esteem issues here... just self-competative issues methinks. ha ha hohoho!)
p.s. and, why is it ...that if you add an 'h' to "tough"...it becomes 'though'? a much softer-sounding word.
[UPDATE: just washed allllllllllllllllllllllllll of my dishes. kitchen is clean. it was quite an event. NOW i can make pumpkin cake. i'ts 10:04pm my time...yawn]
[update #2: cake in oven. now it's 11:47. i'm tired. my head is getting sleepy...]
