Despite a few days of past-life insanity thanks to Facebook (see IH8FCBK), I am happy. Why? It’s this time of year. The weather is just perfect for sleeping, cozying up under the comforter. It’s the time for picking apples and pumpkins at the farm. I can cut wood without drowning in perspiration or worrying about poison ivy. The boys are so cute in their jeans and hoodies. And it’s great weather for heavier reds, and bourbon nightcaps. It’s definitely time to open a few new bottles from the bourbon collection.

It’s also getting on toward holiday season. Yeah, Thanksgiving is going to rock – how I do love stuffing. And Carol’s birthday is coming up, so we’ll have some fun family time. But this year, I’m really psyched for Halloween. We haven’t had a Halloween party in a long time, and it was always one of my favorites to throw. I especially love the tasty treats. Brain matter punch, eyeballs on a stick, finger sandwiches and other thematically appropriate holiday appetizers make for a swingin’ good time.

And if any Facebook crazies want to visit I can always try and dig up some insanity peppers.
