22 Trick-or-Treaters!

Lee and I are officially old! How do I know this?

• Today was Halloween and we didn't have any plans.
• I didn't drink for the first Halloween in, um, 11 years?
• We carved pumpkins.
• We gave candy to 22 kids of various ages.
• And then we got ding-dong ditched.

Haha! Lee goes, "That's the first time I've ever been ding-dong ditched. We're old!" Here are the pumpkins we carved. A cat and a Superman pumpkin. (Notice the kryptonite colored glow!)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Also, 11 years ago today was when Lee & I started dating (for the first time)!

If my mom knew how to scan pictures, I would get some of my old pics up here like Reuter did (wow, have I mentioned how hard I laughed at those!)... But she doesn't! So, I will just have to link to my Halloween post from last year where I have pictures of 5 of my last 7 Halloweens! (Thank goodness we have no pics of the pumpkin seed debacle!)

I am violent... In my dreams!

I have been having some ultra-crazy-weird dreams lately. And they are really starting to freak me out. Two have involved my home getting burglarized. And two have involved me kicking some major a$$. Yes, I know, if I'm kicking a$$ it must be a dream.

* Dream 1 - I was at home at night and there was a raucous. (Not sure where Lee was.) So, I come out into the living room and there are like 5 teenagers robbing my stuff. They saw me and I was like "Heeeeey, take whatever, just don't hurt me." But, then, they started taking my tv and I was like "NO, do not take the tv." I mean, come on. I love that thing. So, at that point, I ran back to my room and barricaded myself in and started calling the cops. Take my stuff, fine. Take my tv, we've got problems.

* Dream 2 - This was about 3 days after dream 1. In this dream, I am awakened again to a burglar in my house. This time it is just one dude. I'm calling for Lee to get the shotgun (yeah we have a shotgun, we live in Indiana). He comes out of bed all groggy. At this point the burglar runs, but I catch him in the laundry room (no longer the laid-back victim I was in dream 1). I have him by the arm (this guy must be a wuss), and I'm yelling for Lee to get the shotgun. Lee was like "No, just let him go." I was pissed, so I took the guys arm and broke his wrist on the corner of the washer. I'm getting sick of being burglarized in my dreams! And I am now bada$$.

* Dream 3 - Last night I had another dream. I don't remember much detail of this one, but all I remember is using a stick to beat this guy and then running away from him.

On one hand, these are bad dreams, so I wish they would stop. But, on the other hand, I am practically an action hero in them, which is pretty cool. I'm like a female Jack Bauer!

I HATE VICKY!

Does anyone else totally despise Vicky from the Biggest Loser this season? For awhile I couldn't decide who I disliked more, Vicky or Heba. But, as the weeks have gone on, it has become clear. Vicky = Satan.

Things I hate about Vicky:
1. She is manipulative. She manipulates her husband, her trainer (Bob), her supposed friend Heba, and anyone else she can get her claws on.
2. I think her & her husband Brady are throwing their weights. Last week Brady lost only 3 lbs. This week he lost 13 lbs. Bob confronted them about it and they both denied it, but then you could see Vicky smiling like she was proud of their little stunt.
3. She has no forehead. This may sound petty, but I have a history of not liking people with no forehead. I think the no forehead gene goes along with being a witch.
4. She totally setup my favorite couple getting booted. First she sent home Amy, who is a sweet, nice woman. Then they tried to make Phillip's team hate him. She is conniving.
5. She is totally there for the money. She even says it in her interviews. She basically said "I know some people are here just to lose the weight, and that's great, but Brady & I are here for the money." Who says that?

In conclusion. She is evil.

W

Lee and I went to see the movie W tonight. I was definitely expecting more. I learned a little bit, but I really thought there would be more about his presidency. Most of the movie was about the earlier years of his life. It definitely reaffirmed my opinion on George W, though. Great guy to party with (back when he drank), but not my choice for President.

And I couldn't get over the fact that the guy that played George HW (James Cromwell) is like 6'5", and just seemed to tall. I obsess over things like this.

Oh, the movie made Colin Powell look GREAT and Dick Cheney look like, well, a dick. As a reward to Colin Powell, I'm going to go ahead and listen to who he said to vote for in a week & a half.

Clint's Cafe?

On Friday, Lee & I drove up to Kouts, IN, to have a few beers with a guy we went to high school with, Josh. He lives up in Kouts with his wife and 6 week old baby boy. He delivers beer for Miller all over NW Indiana. At one point, Josh got up to go to the bathroom and I noticed the back of his shirt. It said "Zip it hippie". I immediately thought of Clint. So, when Josh got back to the table, I asked him where he had gotten the shirt. It turns out that Crown Point, IN, has a place called The Conservative Cafe. ("Coffee served RIGHT.")

They have some other t-shirts that are pretty funny too, like:
"Silly Liberal... Paychecks are for Workers."
and
"Peace... Through Superior Firepower."

Happy 31st BMW!

Happy Birthday to Barry!

Hope you have a fun one down in N-ville.

(this is a pic from his 30th b-day last year. not sure why he decided to flip Amy upside down?)

Typical of this election

Radio host Bob Grant thought that Barack Obama had created his own "O" flag that was an American flag with a big O on it. After getting all worked up on his radio show and having all sorts of opinionated-but-not-educated callers call in and b!tch about it, it is pointed out that it is fact the OHIO STATE FLAG. You idiot.

(Actually, it was Clint's girlfriend Michelle Malkin that pointed that out.)

Radio host Bob Grant asserted that Sen. Barack Obama "is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars[.] He has the 'O' flag." However, the flag to which Grant apparently referred was actually the Ohio state flag.

I'm so ready for this election to be over. I'm so sick of having to respond to peoples' false claims about Obama. (And no, just ignoring them is not an option for me.) It is so simple to just RESEARCH things before you pass it on in a forward. But, people would rather spread the plague of misinformation than do a quick Google search.

Ok, I'm done ranting about this now!!

Quiz that Ahow will fail!

Female or SHEmale?

I got a 12 out of 16 right.
Lee beat me with 13 right.

I would like Ahow to take it after drinking a 12 pack.

He definitely failed the "live" version of this quiz down in Atlanta!
