Enough with the post about haters.
My brother has been a hater for the past five years and I'm over it.
My mother has been properly reprimanded for gossiping the details of my life to him...and we'll see what happens with that.
What's funny about haters is that they simply serve to illustrate why I love my own life so much.
Not that it's perfect, by any means...but for whatever we lack in style and grace...we make up for in love, loyalty, and friendship. My family is unshakable...so go ahead and hate, fucker!
With that said...I know I've been meaning to update more around here and I just haven't followed through. Bad me!!! I'd probably guess that it's due, at least partially, to the fact my life is extremely mundane. Lovely...yes...but mundane. I also suspect there will come a time when this changes, but for now my life is pretty quiet.
Most recently we enjoyed a really awesome Halloween. We'd hoped to participate in a little kiddie Halloween parade earlier on Saturday, but the hubs had to work
I'd love to have put my foot down and demanded he say 'no' but we don't argue with that kind of paycheck. In the end it didn't matter much...this pregnancy is kicking my ass big time and frankly, I'm not usually ready to see the world until about 10am or so anyway... So, his working got me off the hook.
Instead, I spent my day finishing Roger's costume and having an all out facebook war with some girl from my past who has become an annoyingly serious bible thumper. She was only ON my friends list, really, for old times' sake...and I'd considered deleting her anyway since I don't read her monologues about how god is genius and all that. But when she started spouting off about Halloween being a satanist thing...and how pagans sacrifice their children to the demon...oh boy, I just HAD to jump in.
It was endlessly amusing for me, since, in addition to having an unshakable love for my family, I also have an unshakable spiritual foundation in the pagan beliefs I've practiced for many years. She doesn't threaten me...but we must have struck a nerve at some point, judging by the way she flipped out ALL CAPS and then deleted me before I could reply. Not that I care. I do hate that kind of childish 'last word' kind of bullshit...but that's fine. Me and a buddy had a grand ol' time harassing her all day. Think of the time and energy she spent writing back those words of god...deaf ears, sister...deaf mother fucking ears... LOL
Anyway, when the hubs returned home later that afternoon we began our pagan rites
Nothing fun like sacrificing children though...just some smudging of the house and ourselves...and a quick talk with the gods about what we'd like to leave in last year, and hopes we have for the coming year. (Halloween is the pagan new year) We happily carved our pumpkins on the kitchen floor...got dressed and headed out.
We were happily surprised by the number of kids who came by our house...we almost couldn't get out the door ourselves!! Our neighborhood isn't that great, and we'd planned on pirating someone else's originally. But, we decided to take a spin around our own block to check it out...and we loved it! Everyone loved our costumes and threw extra candy our way. By the time the kid decided he'd had enough...the hubs openly declared he didn't want the night to end. So we sat out on our front steps for a bit handing out candy to the stragglers and taking some pics...
Here they are: ENJOY!!!
Handing out candy...
Is there a problem here officer?!
Clearly I was guilty of smuggling a fetus...

Your costumes are ace too! Glad you had fun winding that girl up... I have to restrain myself from doing stuff like that cos I get too involved and forget it's supposed to be fun to wind up ignorant people
