+ If you have any love for things Jane Austen and you have a sense of humor, you simply must go read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katharhino's 'Tis the Eve of All Hallows, a short story of murder and hilarity, starring the characters from Emma.
+ We're going to some friends' house tonight to hand out candy and watch a movie. Rumors were that costumes were a possibility, but no one seemed all that interested. Still, I would've gone as a newsie if I had been able to find a newsboy cap and adequate vest at a thrift store. No such luck.
+ Somehow lately we've been getting USA Network on what used to be the Catholic channel. I have to say, I'll trade televised mass for NCIS and House reruns, and new episodes of L&O: Criminal Intent any day. I keep praying that the mistake isn't noticed until after L&O:CI's new season is finished... which isn't till March or April, I think. Yeah, I know - it's a long shot.
+ I've seen a lot of mi familia this week. Well, except for Mom, who has been stuck in North Dakota, of all places, and then Orlando, all for work. We had Grams, Dad, and AAAC over for an awesome lasagna dinner Monday night. Ange made apple crisp out of some apples they picked off a friend's tree on their trip to IL, so we had warm, fresh apple crisp for dessert. YUM. Last night they reciprocated and had Grams, Dad, and us over to their house for the absolute best chicken parmesan I have ever had, and peanut butter fudge for dessert. I *love* having family nearby! LOL! We also of course played a bit of Rock Band at AAAC's house. Grams had never seen it before, and thought it very creative. We had the most fun watching AJ's face when he played guitar, and singing along to "I am 16, Going On 17" and other Sound of Music songs (playing in the other room, because Chloe was watching her favorite movie EVAH) as the PS2 kept freezing. Hehe.
+ Our pumpkins died already! How sad is that?! I'm wondering if we did something wrong, because aren't they supposed to last at least a week? Anyway, mine rotted so much it fell over on its face (actually, I think Isaac's evil pumpkin pushed it...) so we had to throw them away already. So sad!
+ So you know those caramel apples I made? There were five of them. And I ate four. Ha! Poor Isaac only got one. But he was only supposed to have two anyway (the maker gets the majority. Bwaha!), and he said I could have his last one. Man, were they good. I must make more.
+ BMG finally has Kutless's new CD! Of course I bought it, along with Sanctus Real's latest and the Robbie Seay Band CD I don't have yet. Anyway, I had a code for 3 free CDs (J8E4 for those who are members) so I got all 3 of 'em for under $8.37!
+ I have more to say, but I need to go since we're due at our friends' house in half an hour. Have a great weekend, all!

watchedmade fun of it enough to recognize several actors. We make up what they're saying, and even if no one else thinks it's funny (Jon's mom just thought we were strange, hehe), we crack ourselves up!Maybe your pumpkin was already old when you got it. Ours was starting to mold before Jon cut it, so it was gone in about three days (really, we should have thrown it out on day #2, but who knew a rotting pumpkin could smell so bad?).
I'm sure I would have eaten four of them as well. Caramel apples are delish!
Have fun at your party!

Haha, our pumpkins were outside so I didn't notice the smell, but they started rotting pretty much immediately. Mine
fell overwas pushed only like 4 days later though. Sad.They sure are! I need to make more.
We did. Thanks!

Re: music -- have you heard Starfield? They are my new faves.
no subject
Yep! Although I don't recall any of their songs specifically. I know they play a lot of their stuff on Air1.
