My favourite holiday is on the way - Halloween. I just love love love it, maybe it's because it brings out the witch in me!! Let's forget about the glutton part. Leaving it as late as possible, I went to the shops this evening and got all the junk food in preparation for the mass destruction ahead. I almost needed a wheel barrow to get the stuff all into the house. Kids had to be dragged out of bed to help me. We managed to get all the stuff in. It was late because a very nice girl and boy down in Zellars spent a half an hour trying to get a halloween toy to work for me, despite the fact there were lines of cross people behind me with their wheelies full of junk food like me.
The Halloween toy they tried to get working for me was
some zombie eating a rat and the rat went in and out his mouth, or at least it was supposed to, except he wouldn't co-operate. The girl assistant took great pleasure stroking the rat's tail, thinking it might get him to move, totally ignoring the irate customers behind us. She was a lovely girl. I think she fancied the boy assistant also trying to help us get the rat moving. Love stories begin in Zellars...
Unfortunately, despite changing batteries the damn thing wouldn't work - dang!! I think it was not meant to be, besides I did promise Kevin NO MORE HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS. It takes two days to put them all up and a week to take them down, as I'm laden down with sweets and lethargic. I usually wait until it's time to put up the Christmas decorations...
Anyway Halloween is on its merry wonderful way. I just hope the candies and crisps will last... We've already made a considerable dent in the boxes of miniature chocolate bars and lays crisps!!
Help!! Halloween come quickly...!!!
