Trunk or treat?

Today is a very big blogging day. I have a lot to share.

First, the final jeopardy category tonight was Musical Theater. And I knew the answer. How great is that?

Second, I picked up my farm box today. I got mandarin oranges. Yay, mandarin oranges. I did not get pomegranets (I know Mary Sue that is misspelled.) nor did I get kale. Both of those came in the medium and large boxes. I feel a little cheated when I get a small box and there are cool things in the bigger boxes, but I couldn't eat all the vegetables in a larger box. So I'm just going to have to live with it. But I had heard about the pomegranits (I know still misspelled.) and I was getting excited about the pomtinis. Oh well, I'll just have to drink the vodka.

Saturday night/Sunday morning is the greatest day of the year. It is the day we set the clocks back. I'll keep mentioning until and after that day, because it is my favorite day of the year. I love, love, love, the extra hour of sleep. My friend Barbara who was not a church goer used to save her hour until Sunday afternoon and then she would take a nap and feel like it was a free nap. Now as you all know I do not need an excuse to take a nap. But still I love the extra hour.

Finally, yesterday was Halloween. Last night I went to choir practice and someone asked me if I wore a costume yesterday to work. Well I work mostly from home which I told him. But here is the question: would you ever wear a costume to work at home? I sometimes barely even put on pants much less a vampire costume. But would you?

Also, I was talking to my mother today and she was talking about the nieces and nephews trick or treating last night. She told me that they didn't get a lot of kids last night because so many churches did trunk or treating. Trunk or treating? I asked what is that. Well apparently so kids don't have to go door to door churches sponsor these alternate events where peopel come to the church parking lot, decorate their trunks and hand out candy to kids. They decorate their trunks!!!! What the #@&!*? That is crazy, right? I just laughed. Who came up with trunk or treating? Crazy. If any of you have seen this, please tell me about it. Also, seriously if you have pictures of a decorated trunk that would be fantastic.

Alright, until tomorrow, I'll be looking for candy in the trunk of people's car.

Peace out!

yes, i've seen it. they had it in nashville and it's all over FL. i even saw a chat group where they were exchanging ideas for the themes of their trunk. being that i live in a place where people talk to their neighbors, however, we DO have trick-or-treating the old fashioned way and i like it that way. personally, if i were given the choice: trunk or treat? i would choose the treat. the trunk sounds too CSI for me to take my kids
