Today I made cupcakes to celebrate Hallowe’en. Nothing like eating sweets on the way out the door to collect more sweets, right? I know Ari will share her bounty with us, she never likes ALL the candy she gets and she does love to be generous. I honestly can’t remember the last time I went out trick or treating, I handed out candy at my house in Windsor-a popular street due to the houses being so close together, easy grabs for candy hunters.
Anyway, these were supposed to be pumpkins, but they ended up looking like eyeballs so I changed my plans.
Kind of gruesome. Better than cutesy pumpkins, right? And yeah, it’s a festive tablecloth that I bought for Thanksgiving. There weren’t any that had an Autumnal feel to them, so I went with skeletons.
Other than that, I’ve been listening to the Harry Potter series as read by Stephen Fry, who I adore. I finally finished book 5, Order of the Phoenix, that was about 30 hours long all told. It was AWESOME. Now I am stuck into HBP which is even better, such a dark book. If you’re ever bored with Youtube, look for Stephen Fry doing an English quizshow called QI, it’s brilliant. Very, very funny.
ps. I got interrupted by groceries. What I meant to add was that the other reason I am enjoying the audio books is because I can get a LOT of knitting done. I’m working on my fourth copy of this pattern. I’ve modified it slightly, but it’s easy, fast and deeply satisfying!
AND MY SISTER HAS SWINE FLU! AGH! Poor old thing, Megs, get well soooooon! I love you!
thanks hun, I am feeling much better. is nobody suffering out there in TO? TONS of people out here have it.
Nope, no one I know of, I guess that’s why I felt a little panicky when I first read your fb status update. Then the other comments made me worry less.
But I am glad you’re feeling better, you’ll be right as rain when mumma gets there!
I feel for you Caitlin’s Sis!! I have it too! It stinks. Stay safe in Toronto, Caitlin. It’s everywhere in the states.. ugh.
Everyone’s got the Hamthrax here! Hospitals full of ‘em and every other person is ill so it seems. Doesn’t seem to be lasting long at all for most. It’ll be next years seasonal flu, at this rate we’ll all be immune!
I don’t know a single person who has it, still!
That scarf is fantastic!
The scarves have been put on hold, I’m doing a bigger xmas gift project now!
My fam was one of the first to get it, thanks to Chris being in the automotive service industry (loads of people and their germy cars). As flus(?) go it was very mild. Flu light.
mine was not what I would call flu lite-5 days so far and I am still not 100%, feeling much better but not perfect!
It must affect everyone differently.
It affected everyone different within the family. Alex was the only one who ran a fever for more than a day but it was only two days for him. Get well now!
They are beholders, I tell you. Kinda nice beholders anyway.
