my mom's gonna kill me.

i lay the blame solely at joy's door.

her red velvet cake called to me.

free cake to whoever wants to come

clean my kitchen.

any takers?

...i reduced my energy costs by 16%.

i paid my electricity bill today

and was delighted (yes, delighted) to see that i'd reduced

my energy consumption this month and saved a little money in the process.

why am i so excited about this? i don't even know what a "therm" is.

honestly, i think it's the bar graph.

i don't even know who i am anymore.

...i didn't dress up for the 'ween.

the party invites have been rollin' in and

i'm suffering a tinge of regret for not dressing up this year.

to make myself feel (a little) better, i've compiled a photo journal

of the past few years' schennanigans.

ah, the glory days.

i've had some GREAT costumes in the past few years.

ridiculous.

what're you doing this weekend to celebrate the 'ween?

any fun traditions? parties? scary movies? nothin' at all?

lemme know, sugars.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

let's squish our fruits together.

i love the guy's commentary at the end.

"i guess they do this here."

classic.

...the state stole our money outright.

i've said it once, i'll say it again: political officionado i am not.

but this just ain't right.

p.s. happy monday. it can only get better from here.

let's talk (baby) turkey.

really, martha stewart? REALLY?!

this is just awkward and ridiculous.

and i'm not totally sure, but this might just qualify

as child abuse.

to crafty mothers everywhere: just say NO!
