9/29/2005 - Beauty and Happiness

Well, fall appears to have finally made its arrival here in the south!  We are experiencing a lovely cool front complete with threatening skies.  It's a grey day but it's filled with the great promise of cool, crisp air and the joy of decorating.  I've been putting things out inside the house and will begin my assault outside this weekend.  I call it an assault because the neighbors next door put out a couple of Halloween items for decoration this week.  My hubby looked over, saw them, and pronounced, "there's gonna be trouble".  He knew - as I knew when he said it - that I take these things as a personal challenge.  Oh yes, the gauntlet has been thrown and I shall pick it up.  Pick it up and smack 'em with it!  LOL  We're calling it "Operation Death from Above" since we're north of them and death will be in our yard.  My house is the most decorated on the whole street - and it runs about 5 miles.  I always have more out for every holiday than anyone else.  And still, we have so few TOTs.  Hmmm.  This year they shall try - again - to steal things from me - and they shall fail.  I am waiting for them this time.  Waiting and watching.  I'm going scare the heck outta them and if they get away with anything they will have paid for it in terror and shame!  LOL  Yes, I'm a teeny bit evil but, ya just don't take a gal's Halloween decorations.  I guess it's better to ask forgiveness than permission, right? 

Unpleasant dreams...
