hollereen night - boo!

firstly, hollereen decor. officelady brought in a small supply cart & parked it beside her desk. the supply cart was wearing a sort of skirt. this skirt was made of black fabric decorated with little candy corns. my thought is that the cart was being turned into a decoration. my opinion? fail. here's what the fabric looked like -


officelady was also wearing a pumpkin sweater. now, see... i am a fan of the pumpkin sweater, in general. i can see that it is mocked far & wide, exclusively worn by dweebs. i can see that. however, i choose not to accept it. however, at the insistence of mini-me & my old man, i no longer wear the pumpkin sweater. the bunny sweater. the xmas tree sweater. ::sigh:: i am looking forward to turning 50 so i can legally wear the pull-on pants they advertise in the sunday paper inserts.

headlines from google news today: chinese shoppers shocked by tainted food scandal. oh, c'mon. how could that even be? there have been so many tainted food scandals lately in china. have shoppers there not been told of the others? and, this: one in five homeowners with mortgages underwater. hee hee... hrm.... fairly certain they don't mean the actual houses are underwater. but, it's still funny.

here is a lovely candy corn cake. i promise not to wear the pull-on pants if you will make one for me!!
