Spooked
Here's what our next door neighbour has on their door. I got spooked enough when I saw it for the first time - which is stupid, really, as I didn't think I would - but today it started talking. The neighbour seem to have turned it on and it had some kind of motion detector and it started shouting and laughing when I walked past which made me jump. The sound was quite loud - I woke up on it several times today when napping on the sofa - someone was first knocking and then banging on some neighbour's door and kept walking past the boody thing which was laughing and cursing all the time. By the time I got home from yoga they had mercifully turned it back off.
So, basically, it's Halloween time.
Which also means Dragon's birthday - and for the first time... well, probably for ever, Dragon is in the position where he likes his work mates enough to actually want to invite them to a party. So, we're having a birthday/Halloween party next Saturday, and I'm trying my best to juggle the preparations and the last week of my yoga challenge next week. It's going to be fun - I'm not sure how much I'll have time to cook, but I will be at least baking a cake (pumpkin cake, of course - Dragon loved it) and doing some chicken nibbles and dips (that Dragon also loves).
But, you know, I think I've learned a thing or two about myself with this challenge and surprisingly I'm not overwhelmed.
Posted by kolibri at 23 October 21:48, 2005I just went through our photoarchives this weekend and came across Dragonīs birthday photos from 2004. Ay Carambaaa! Fun was had, plenty of friends with food and drink. Odd cactuses and glittery wigs, too...
My plan for the halloween-party next weekend is to lace-up my pinstripe corset so tightly, Iīll be unable to eat my usual party-amounts of goodies. This "better living through healthier diet and excersise" is really working for me and Iīm gonna keep at it.

I wrote about it earlier how I've practically noticed the effect of a healthier diet, but it really doesn't allow for any mistakes... after weekend of bad eating I'm soooo ready to get back on track and feel good again.
