Please and Thank You -- Where did it go?

Today is Trick-Or-Treat day in my town. Halloween was always a favorite holiday growing up. Getting dressed up, going around the neighborhood and taking stock of the loot.

It doesn't seem like Halloween hold the same for the kiddos that stopped by my door. Just now I had some kids stop by.  I have a deck with a doorbell that leads to enclosed porch. I was standing in the kitchen and could hear the kids on the deck. It sounded like they knocked but I wasn't sure. They got mad and were about to leave when they saw the door bell. *Ding Dong*

I grabbed the candy and went to the door. I opened the door and the girls just stood there. No trick or treat, no hello. The three girls just stood there.  I asked them what do you say and they just stood there. One finally said trick or treat. One of the other's asked how many pieces she could have (???). As they left (no thank yous) I said You're welcome!  The girls just took a hand full of wet leaves the threw them at the house....

On a plus side, as I was writing this a Cat Fairy stopped by my house. Was super excited for Halloween and very appreciative. She was so cute, she got two pieces of candy!  I guess the Halloween spirit does still exist.

You can learn new tricks when sick.

Like VapoRub makes a great overnight pedi. Slather on feet, put on fuzzy socks and sleep. In the morning super soft footsies await!

5 Reasons Why Tactical Boyfriends Rock

So the other day we went to a local drinking establishment to watch the Brewers game. At some point I dropped my sunglasses under the bar. I asked The Boy if he had his flashlight on him. At that moment I realized how nice a tactical boyfriend is to have on hand. Here are some of the top reasons:

5. When looking for your sunglasses in a dark bar you can ask for the pen light in his pants pocket.
4. Asking the boy for the pocket knife is way easier than finding the one burred in your purse.
3. Because of the built-in GPS, they always seem to know where you left your keys.
2. No matter what multitool is within arms reach it will always have a bottle opener.
1. Carrying a purse everywhere is not longer needed due to cargo pants that have pockets inside, the pockets, inside the pockets.
