'Twas Halloween Day...

and all through the house...
Things were in readiness, even the mouse...The pumpkins were lined by the front door with care
In hopes that Trick or Treaters soon would be there ...

Wrinkled witches hands reached sneaky and slow
To grab some of the treats piled up and ready to go...
Scary pumpkin heads watched with diabolical glee

for the first sign of children....ready to flee... So Pa in his witch hat
And me with nails painted black
Had just settled down for TV and a snack...
When what to did appear before our wondering eyes,
But a weiner dog dressed, in a Halloween disguise.
Oh he begged with his eyes and he howled most forlorn,
For Kit-kats, for Dots, for M&M's and candy corn.

To his great disgust we had to refuse
and when he turned around we saw he had a broom!!!!

And showing his fangs he gave us such fright...
when he barked out these words "It's almost Halloween night...
protect all the candy because I'm coming back"
And off he flew on his broom without getting a snack!
We went back in the house and were feeling quite wary.
Because it was almost Halloween and a hungry weiner dog is scary...

...and what we saw by his food dish gave us another great fright...
Ooooooh....there's nothing as scary on a Halloween night.

This is a re-run from a few years back!  I thought it was funny and wanted to share it again, though.

Sadly, we are missing our weiner dog this year.  Halloween just won't be the same without incessant barking and escape attempts to get candy!

You know how a few people seem to ruin it for everyone?

It's annoying, isn't it?

 

All those people filing frivolous lawsuits, clogging up our judicial system and being ridiculous...

 

so that when you really, really need to file a lawsuit about something important...

 

Lawyers might perceive it as...

 

ummm....

 

frivolous...

 

...and dismiss you before you can even get to the pain and suffering part.

 

Grrrr.

 

Grrrr.

 

Somehow.

 

Someway.

 

I mistakenly purchased one too many Halloween treats.

 

Just one.

 

I had to.

 

It was all about nostalgia and supporting America and all that stuff.

 

However.

 

Grrrr.

 

However.

 

There I was...

 

Hiding (I mean sitting quietly) in my office...

 

Opening the cello wrap stealthily so I wouldn't have to share with Mr. Jenny when I BEHELD THIS ATROCITY AGAINST candy everywhere.

 

I can barely stand to show you this picture.

 

I must ask you to try and be brave.

Un-freaking-believable.

 

I know you're shocked, but it's true.

 

My Goetze's ORIGINAL Caramel Cream bar was missing a cream filling.

 

At first I thought it might have fell out somehow into the package...

 

...but...

 

NO!

 

That darned cream center wasn't anywhere.

 

Oh, sure, I ate it.

 

But it was stressful.

 

And traumatizing.

 

And caused an immense amount of pain and suffering.

 

But because of those whiners who said their coffee was too hot and blah, blah, blah...

 

I cannot even attempt to be compensated for my loss.

 

Grrrrr.

 

Yessirree, Bob.

 

Those frivolous lawsuits tie up our legal system forcing the rest of us to simply suffer through.

 

Sigh.

I have been feeling lousy...

...so it was with great annoyance that I found myself rummaging everywhere looking for the receipt.

 

No.

 

Not in the pile of little bits of paper in my wallet.

 

No.

 

Not in the stack of stuff in a bowl by the phone.

 

Grrrr.

 

Grrrr.

 

Finally, I gave up and went into Mr. Jenny's office in frustration.

 

"I can't find the receipt! You'll have to take it back to the store without it?"

 

"Huh?" Mr. Jenny replied.

 

I repeated myself in an even crankier voice.

 

"I CAN'T find the stupid receipt! Just take it back to the store without it?"

 

"What? What are you talking about?" my confused husband answered.

 

"The vacuum cleaner. The new vacuum cleaner. You want to return it and I can't find the receipt!"

 

He looked even more puzzled. "Huh? I don't want to return the vacuum cleaner! What are you talking about?"

 

"Seriously. You told me you hated the new vacuum cleaner!"

"No! I never said that! What are you talking about?"

 

"Seriously? You did so SAY that! You told me the new vacuum cleaner sucked."

 

Ummm.

 

Ummm.

 

So yeah.

 

Sucked, in this instance, was a good thing.

 

The powers of communication are just mind boggling, aren't they?

 

Just thought I'd share a laugh.

 

And tell you that I'm getting poked and prodded more later today hoping to find some health answers.

 

. I'll write when I can.

 

And you can just feel better knowing that I have well vacuumed floors in the interim!

 

Ha.

 

Haha.

 

Ha?

 

PS.  Yes.  I know I'm lucky.  Mr. Jenny vacuums the floors around here!
