1. What was your first Halloween costume? I honestly have no idea.
2. What was your best costume and why? I was princess Leah once (is that how you spell it?). My mom put 2 buns on the sides of a wig for me, and sewed a robe/dress thing. I loved it. It's about the only costume I remember, so it must have been good.
3. Did you ever play a trick on someone who didn't give you a treat? Yeah, and no. A friend and I were "robbers" in our older years, and I had a play gun. I think a lady thought it was real and she almost crapped herself. I felt (and still do) terrible about that.
4. Do you have any Halloween traditions? (ie: Family pumpkin carving, special dinner before trick or treating, etc.) We go to the party at church a week before, then on Halloween, we carve pumpkins, dress up (often in some quickly decided costumes) and go out to beg for candy. I take a bowl of goodies with me and hand them out to kids as we walk. People have started to remember me from year to year as the Bowl-carrying Treat Lady.
5. Share your favorite scary story...real or legend! I'm feeling very uncreative right now, and lazy. I can't think of anything due to the (possibly caffiene deprived brain) headache that I have going on right now. Sad. I know.
Feds arrest hundreds at Wal-Marts:
Federal officials arrested more than 300 illegal workers at 61 Wal-Mart stores across the country early Thursday morning and searched the Arkansas office of one of the retail chain's corporate executives, a federal official said.

Been making more and more candles. It's been keeping me busy, but in a good way. I put up some pictures over at the crafty blog, if you're interested.
The twins started preschool last week. One likes it more than the other, but they're both happy when I come and pick them up. The teacher took some pictures (on a digi-cam) to show me to prove they were having a blast while I was away.
It's weird not having them here, to be honest. So far I haven't gotten any more done while they are gone than I do when they are at home. Not yet, at least. It still feels weird.
The other day I was listening to a local talk radio show and the topic was a band that was promoting a live suicide (on stage) during their concert. Well, it was cancelled.
From the article:
"The city of St. Petersburg issued an ordinance last week making it illegal to promote a suicide for entertainment or commercial purposes, in order to stop the event from occurring."
1. What vehicle do you drive?
A Chevy Beauville. Most likely nobody's heard of it. It's often called our "Christian Van" for it's enormous size. You know, you see those church vans that hold 2000 people?
2. How long have you had it?
Almost 2 years, now.
3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?
Call me a dork, but I like that it's kind of old-looking and tacky. It's an '89, I believe, and it's very simple, none of the new lights and whistles. I happen to like that. I also like that it's big enough to fit us 7+ a friend, if we want to take one.
4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?
Hmmm. Maybe that the air tends to blow out each summer? That and that there is room for one more seat (it would fit 11, if it just had one more), but we don't have that extra seat.
5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?
Probably just a newer version of what we have. A big-assed van that seats a hella bunch of people. OR, I'd be drivin' a rap-mobile with rims, and lights and all that crap - for a day, and then I'd sell that big ol' money pit and get me a decent lot of land.
