It was funny watching Harmony walk up to a door, try and squeeze her way in front of Virginia, look the candy giver and say"Shrigger shreet thank you" and sometimes just "Shrigger thank you," and wait for her portion of the goods. We went with our friends the Bulls at first, then we took the kids to Crystals parents and around that neighborhood. By the end of it, Harmony was dragging her little feet and her pumpkin was too heavy to lift so the people were trying to bend down and put a few pieces of candy in without spilling the rest in their bowl.
It was cold out. That's a green jacket over white lace sleeves
I am probably going to hear about this one. My shoes and camera bag (on the floor by the window) and her regular clothes (pink shirt) are visible on the floor. Crystal keeps a clean house. So clean in fact, it gets to be a little obsessive at times. So don't get the facts skewed.

And now for the Hump day list.
#1 Hump the guy at work that made it all click this morning when he said, "The only people that have problems are the ones that have sense." Wow. No wonder I work with a lot of people that seem to have no problems.
#2 Hump Microsft for charging for Windows 7. I paid a ton for Vista and it hasn't worked right since day one. You have been giving out free updates for Vista for the last year or so and all Windows 7 seems to be is Vista with the bugs worked out. So... Why not release it as an update instead of a whole new OS? Don't you think you owe it to all Windows users? Apparently not. THAT'S WHY I SWITCHED TO MAC. Snow leopard is only $30 because it is an update. You are lucky Microsoft. My wife HAS to use windows for work. She is still on Vista because we can't afford your upgrade... I mean NEW OS. I hate you greedy bastards. There I said it.
#3 Hump the economy. You have put my company in a bind and stripped all of it's employees of benefits. That includes me. It's funny how the Economy was of no concern to me 3 days ago, then BAM! It's sobering but at least I have a job.
#4 Hump people that e-mail me to tell me that my point of view is wrong. NO idiot, it's MY point of view. By all means, share yours with the world but don't tell me I'm wrong because I don't think like you do. Guess what? I have an opinion! Speaking of opinions, I based what I said about that Squidbillies show on one episode. I saw 2 more and they were almost unwatchable. As it stands the show is 1 for 3. I dunno if I can watch many more if they were like the last two.
#5 Hump people who can't drive normally. This isn't a HUGE problem in my commute but I will occasionally run across the idiot the makes a last minute turn with no signal into my lane almost hitting me. This person will usually give me the finger while yelling and waving their arms like they are on fire. Sometimes I wish they would catch fire. Quit being pissed, turn around, and keep your eyes on the road because you are about to run over another innocent driver.
Crystal's Birthday is in 13 days. What do women like for their birthday around $5? Geez. I wish I was kidding. Love you gals and guys. (Ladies first!)
Oh I almost forgot. Kandi asked me to post this link about domestic abuse. It's something she is very passionate about. What could it hurt.

You can do a lot for $5! Depends on her interests- but most women have things they love for $5- candles, bath products, make-up. Find a real good sale and tell her about that and she'll be even more impressed! Or a thrift shop for a nice purse or something.
IF whatever you get doesn't feel like enough- do something free and meaningful- cook (if that's unusual for you) or depending on how old she is- make a list (if she's 25- do something like my 25 fondest memories). It'll give you a chance to reminisce about good things.
Sorry about it being $5. Last Christmas I bought my husband's gifts for $8. But I did pretty good- a video game and a shirt. I had some great coupons!
I gotta get my Halloween pics posted....ugh, add another thing to my list of things to do! Today is Griffin's bday! Come over and say hello and get a homemmade cookie if you want....Dan will be home with him, I will be out with the other two.
For Crystal's birthday bake her a cake, and tell her you love her. If you want to buy her something maybe a datebook? She is starting the business....she probably needs to be able to write stuff down, keep track of it, write down contacts, etc....what do you think? I saw one at Sam's $8....it was really nice. Very pretty. I bet you could find the extra $3 in your seat cushions....if not, come raid mine. You know how we live.....shoes and a shirt on the floor...I'd feel lucky if that was all that was in a candid shot taken at my house! ha ha!
I hear there's a give-away for a "Sex" book on another blog that you might could enter. No, seriously, make a card telling her you love her and that she has the night FREE to do what she wants. You take the kids and the $5 and give her time for herself. You could also follow it up with a foot rub or something along those lines.
I'd kill for a night to do nothing, as I think most women would :)
Melaka
Chocolate?
I would like a cheap bottle of wine and a kid free night.
Crystal

LOL - Been there done that with the $5 birthday. But Crystal (I mean anonymous) gave you the answer I was going to give you. My favorite birthday from hubby was a picnic by the river, just the two of us and a walk to relax and catch up. Maybe feed the ducks.
Just to let you know, Windows 7 is only $35 if you're a student. All you need is a .edu e-mail address which uh, isn't actually too hard to get. I got one instantly the other day, just by applying to a school (not to get Windows 7 though, I actually am trying to get into the school!). So if you ever do need to upgrade to Windows 7, you might want to look into that.
I've so been fed up with MicroSHAFT for years- love my Mac also!!
Love hump day!!
Make a coupon book by hand using your best effort. Even if you have terrible handwriting or can't even draw a stick man, it won't matter because it was your best effort. Include things like "I'll do the dishes on the night of your choice." "You get the remote without any protest." "Foot rub on demand." Stuff like that.
I'm a fan of cheap wine and the coupon books. Don't forget to borrow a good movie. Whatever kind she likes- not you. :)
1. Love the pics of the girls! Too sweet :)
2. Love the Bill Gates pic and the rant about Windows 7.
3. I will match your $5.00 so you have $10.00 to get Crystal something :) Just let me know!
Cheap wine...kids to grandparents...redbox movie (only a dollar)...and cook her some dinner :)
Ok...can I hump something in a good way today? I want to hump Angus Young and the rest of AC/DC for putting on an awesome show last night.
The costumes were too cute
You know what makes me more happy than anything - a bag of Reese's Pieces, lmao. You can never go wrong with chocolate (in my humble opinion). :)
Awww, thank you Mr. McKnob for the Domestic Abuse Awareness linkie! Yes, it IS something I am VERY passionate about. And you have more readers, so....
Oh! And yeah didn't you know that our front yard is a training camp for the National Guard? I thought I told you that! God, you never listen to me (stomping my foot)! So :oP back to ya!
Hee hee my word verification is "flegraws" Those things make me giggle.
