Halloween Weekend what'sup?
 

When I was young, even when the kids were young, I enjoyed Halloween.
I decorated with some out door lights, a blow up Pooh bear and huge witch, but the morbid part of the holiday is sucking the breath from me.

The grandson will love local home trick or treating, it is calling for some rain, so I will drive as his parents take turns for He and Katie to go door to door.

Rain rain go away....at least the snow from last week is gone. Last year there was 3 inches on the ground for the night.

Have a good weekend all....:grouphug: Don't forget the clocks go back an hour on saturday night.....
Go Phillies!

I don't get into halloween any more.... too much anxiety involved for me.

I do know that a niece and a nephew are going as Pirates...that is if it's not snowing where they live....

I haven't heard what the other 10 nieces and nephews are going as.... I be one of my little nieces goes as a princess... or as she says...prinicess.

Hope everyone has a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
Hugs to all!!

thanks for finding that picturre DI!
I bumped up the thread as we will look the same again, stay with what works! WEnt in costume for the ULL orchestral haloween concert hubby participated like normal he was a hit. dressed up like a monk, came dragging his foot down the long walkway in the auditorium and up to a rope on stage that he pulled and they played a gong! it was great! Hoping that the rain lets up by tomorrow so we can carve our pumpkins and finish the last touches of the decorations before the kids come, we have to paint up our faces as well. Jeff built a coffin this year and I may be in it...we will see. I have worn a wedding dress old torn/lacey thing for many years now and jeff wears a tall top hat and we both kind of look like spooky bride and groom. You can see us in the pictures! jeff loves to scare the kids.

there were 5 tornadoes to touch down in shreveport which is 4 hours north of us.
it has been gusty hurricane weather like now just raining should quit for tomorrow night.
tornadoes are so scarey! especially when they spin off of hurricanes.. yikes!

sorry that you get anxiety with halloween abby, hope it doesn't snow on those little prinicesses.

Thanks for the clock reminder, Di.
 

Hi,

No Halloween here. I see one place near us decorated. I haven't driven around and looked at others.


I'm missing the World Series this year.
I guess I only watch when the Red Sox are playing. :eek:

I think I want to get out and get some sunshine this weekend. We have a very small park next door. Maybe I can go sit and read a book in the sun. Then take a walk. Need to work on my vitamin D. http://bestsmileys.com/sun/3.gif

I love halloween, but this year Im so depressed thinking about my project.... :(

HAPPY HALLOWEEN MY DEAR FRIENDS !!!

Dear Majo,

You did a good job.
Relax and enjoy while you wait for word on their decision
OR
Start your next project.


Waves gives good advice on the other thread about reframing your thoughts. A counselor will help you learn that kind of stuff.

In the meantime, many hugs :hug: :hug: :hug:

I like Halloween. It was fun. I went to three parties on different weekends. And I have to say I am glad I went. I can no longer eat lots of candy like the good ole times but man I had fun watching people being drunk instead. It was amusing to me. I probably was the small percentage that was completely sover there. I can not drink because of my meds and the family alcoholism. But people got goofy and I was just laughing. My friends played in the corn field and they had an ear of corn fight after I left the party. And the big plus was the fact that I went to bed at 1 am but gained an extra hour of sleep! So I went to work with an extra hour of sleep. It was awesome!
What a plus huh?:D

I feel good
 

Hi,

I feel good.
I know this because when I woke today I decided that I need to clean my bedroom and organize it. It's been getting worse since the July move.
I told my friend she absolutely needs to get herself over to my place next weekend (when we are both off work) and help me fix things and dump boxes. Before today, I couldn't imagine dealing with the mess.


We have a full moon Monday night (tonight) at 19:15 2009 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
I think that means 2:15pm in the afternoon East Cost time -- not 100% sure about the exact time.
Go moon! It's beautiful right now. I'm so happy that I can see the moon by stepping outside my door.

M.

yes the moon was beautiful! looking at it reminds me that we are all connected.
Glad that you feel good!
hope that happens more often for you.
(((((HUGS)))))

i finally saw the moon last night
 

when it was no longer full.. but nice and appreciably fat, still. :)

by the way Mari, your translation of GMT to EST was accurate: Eastern Standard Time is GMT-5.

my time zone is GMT+1 (or EST+6).

I too hope the positive feelings pick up again. i know tonight's event was a huge strain, but i think you did well, and i believe the reaction you are having is normal considering the difficulties, and that it is just temporary.
