8 out of 12 ain't bad

Well, final candy apple count is 8 out of 12. The packet was supposed to make 12 apples, but I guess I "laid it on a little thick" LOL. Actually, I made more like 7 1/2. The last one was a disaster since the candy was close to drying by then. I have a blob of candy halfway wrapped around the 8th apple! The rest of the candy stayed on my spoon, making a lollipop that I am now enjoying.

I totally missed Daylight Savings Time. I woke up today with half of the clocks in house updated and the manual ones still what they were last night. I was getting ready to accuse Josh of playing a joke on me when it dawned on me that the clocks changed last night!

I volunteered at Greenville's "Booseum" today as part of our group from work. It's a Halloween event for kids... crafts, a haunted house, a toy shoppe, and other things, I think. I got to help kids write their names in Heiroglyphics and wrap them up like mummies. I think I had a better time than the kids! Most of the kids liked having their arms wrapped (they could choose one body part for one ticket), but a lot of them let me wrap their heads. One was so scared that she only let me wrap a finger! But another wanted me to cover her whole head, so I convinced her to let me keep her nose unwrapped. I really had fun today.

Off to watch Crossing Jordan!

Not for me! Actually, I'm only taking 6 apples tonight. I had to - ahem - taste test them, you know?
