I'm back - warn your local neighborhood watch
After a fun-filled weekend of not being able to use my computer, Windows XP arrived today and I am back in business. I still have to reinstall most things, but I can ramble once again, so I'm sure you're all thrilled beyond belief.
Great strides were made in the Halloween decorating department over the last few days. All of the lights are up, and I set up the canvas tent cover thing which usually resides over the patio. I'm using it to create a lovely graveside service, complete with a coffin, mourners, etc. Of course, the mourners will be a werewolf, a skeleton lady, another skeleton, a fiber optic skeleton head, and so on. Oh, and a skeleton head with a hand holding a butcher's knife will be coming up out of the coffin. And there's a lot of blood.
It should be fun for the whole family.
I've also added the hanging bloody mummy, the tombstones, a lovely witch complete with a broom, and a black light in the porch light fixture. There will be red lights in the windows and the foyer area by the front door, to give that extra lighting oomph. Five pumpkins now grace the front yard, and there is still quite a bit more stuff to go out there once it gets closer to the big day.
I listened to the CD I made last year of Halloween sound effects and music, and quite frankly, it sucks. So I'll be redoing that, but I can't decide if I should go scary or not-so-scary. Maniacal laughter or the Addams Family theme? This is the kind of thing to keep me up at night, so I better decide soon.
There are so many other important issues to worry about, after all. Issues such as there being several M&M Halloween-themed items out there which I do not have. I don't have any Halloween-themed M&M items. I have M&M items for several other holidays, but none for this one. This sucks, friends. But they aren't cheap, so it will have to continue sucking until such time in the future when I can afford to purchase them.
I'm going to bed now, so I can stay awake pondering these and other related very important issues. If I don't do it, who will?
