    I had no clue what that humbug was supposed to be. I thought it was a cake or a hot dog.:D

    (Please stop talking about pickled eggs too. Gross! _pale_ ;))

    I only had one and a half drinks yesterday so I should have really been AF. Still not sure if I will be AF today yet.:rolleyes:

    I have put up some of my Halloween/ Samhain decorations already.:T I want to have the house ready so we can switch the lights out and pretend to not be at home when the trick or treaters come.:rotfl:
