The ramblings of a fiber-affected single mother of twins who makes a living as a code monkey

One Crazy Fiber Lady

Trick or Treat

October 31st, 2006 · 6 Comments

Happy Halloween!  Today was a seriously busy day.  I worked from home today and got a great deal done:

1.  Finished up the bugs on the coding project for work and answered a number of questions from the testers

2.  Cleaned out all the stuff from the inside of my Durango in preparation of returning it.  Took it to the carwash for a serious cleaning.  Made an appointment to have it inspected on Friday with goal of dropping it at Dodge dealer on Saturday.

3.  Added the new car to the insurance policy.

4.  Took the monkeys Trick or Treating.  They got it this year even if doorbells were a bit out of their reach.  I swear I bought a costume for Kat but she refused to wear it.  It was one of the Disney Princess dresses in a pretty pink that she loved until I tried to put it on her.  If she gets even a tiny bit tied up in a shirt, that sucker is history.  I think that’s what happened with this dress.  Mom managed to get her dressed into her Dora shirt and pants set and that’s how she went T&T.   Alex just loved his Buzz costume.  I figured he would as he’s become enamoured with the movie and will watch it on a continuous loop if we let him.

5.  Got a flu shot (site hurts a tad and I ain’t feeling all that great now) and got some Imitrex from my doctor.

6.  Picked up the new car.  Sweet.  Put the carseats and the train station parking permit in the new baby.  Meet my new wheels, a 2006 Toyota Sienna LE in Blue Mirage Metallic.  I so loved test driving this car that I can’t wait to get to know her.

And now, not having knit a single stitch all day, I’m going to call it a night.

Craft on!

    Congrats on the new car. Use it well and stay safe.

    The twins look so cute. Halloween costumes are a funny thing. My daughter wore her witch hat for 2 houses and I wound up wearing it during the rest of trick or treating. I looked swell.

    Wow, you were a busy girl! My 15 year old basketball jock son went as a giant Blues Clues stuffed animal. Costume cost me $75 bucks at Taylor Rental in Hawthorne… My 17 year old, dreadlocked son went as Dolly Parton complete with blond wig and my 12 year old with the broken ankle was too pissed off to be anything other than a grouch… consider yourself lucky
