Well. The Halloween Mega Store sell off was quite the place to be today! I wandered in and as I was passing the very first display I got stealth hugged! I was not Paying Attention, and a friend got the drop on me.
The guy behind the register looked like I was going to explode into violence, and seemed relieved when instead I hugged her back. It was awesome to see her. She was there with another lady I know and they bought almost $1200 worth of stuff (for under $400). I guess she goes to these sales and gets costumes for her dance studio. It was an amazing amount of stuff she pulled out of the cart.
I got the boater hat (politician) (fifty cents apiece - I got four - two for rehearsals and two for the shows - cheap-ass styrofoam hats, I don't expect them to survive very long - and in case the styrofoam boaters do not survive, I got a straw one for about 3 dollars I can add red white and blue ribbon to it to make it a typical political boater hat), the top hat (magician), some fancy gloves (just for fun), and a captains hat (sailor). Couldn't find any sailor hats. The store will close for the season on Tuesday. Amazing sales.
Then I spent some time doing various fiddly errands today which kept me out until the sun was setting (so early!).
I did not get the chance to rake. Oh well. Maybe next Saturday.

After-Holiday sales rock! \0/
Not raking = \0/! Just saying. (I'd rather dust, clean the toilet, scoop cat litter... you get the picture...lol)

Also, Sandi lives about forty minutes from me, so seeing her in my neck of the woods was a surprise!
I know - I am so unfond of the raking thing. But last year my travel schedule was so bad, and the rain was so bad - it snowed before I had a chance to rake. And you know New England. Once it snows, you're done. So lots of rain, early snow and me away - no rake last year. Bad for the lawn.
