HA! Try stealing my pumpkins now!

We didn't carve pumpkins this year. We didn't carve pumpkins last year, nor the year before that. You want to know why? Because stupid teenagers in this neighbourhood steal the pumpkins and throw them at the mailbox. I'm so tempted to do this (click on it to enlarge):

I'm not fond of Halloween. But it does mark the beginning to some of my favourite holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Kind of Cool.

I wonder what Utah is going to be. Can you make right wing xenophobes and bad air into a dress?

Gak.

Every time I search for True Blood or the Southern Vampire Mysteries on Amazon, it keeps telling me I might like Eclipse. Um, no.

Facebook also keeps telling me I should like Glenn Beck because I live in Utah. Ugh. NO.

I'm about to have a freak out:

I have no other place to write this down

So feel free to ignore it.

Sewing projects to finish:

Sew buttons on Liam's vest
Add another growing stripe to Alana's dress
Nikki's ren dress
Gwyn's present (3 months late-Sorry Gwyn!)
Sam's jacket (also 3 months late-eep!)
patchwork dress
Button and buttonhole on Alana's dress coat

To do:

Alana's peasant blouse
Justin's vest
Alana's crib covers
Mindy's present
open cardi
Liam's costume

Projects that I keep meaning to do and probably never will:

Alana's crib bumpers (yeah, she's 18 months; what's your point?!?)
Rail covers (she chews on EVERYTHING)
Blue dress
Elmo blanket
Coverlet for Liam's bed

Anagram

I was playing around with an anagram generator, and after a few names I couldn't help wonder if the creator was a Democrat:

Glenn Lee Beck: CELL 'N' KEEN BEG


Sarah Louise Palin: LUSH PARANOIA LIES


Anderson Cooper: COARSENED PORNO


Michele Marie Bachmann: MENACE, CHAMBERLAIN HIM


But then I got to Joseph Robinette Biden Jr's:


SHEEP JOINT INTERBRED JOB






Other notable ones:


David William Donald Cameron: I AM LOW-MINDED, CORDIAL VANDAL


Kim Jong Ill: MIL JOKING


Golda Meir: E.G. I AM LORD


Felipe Calderon: DEPLORE IF CLEAN


Nicolas Paul Stéphane Sarközy: UNHAPPILY RANSACKS ZEALOTS


Shimon Peres: POSERISH MEN

Things happening here

We all had food poisoning for all of the last week. It sucked. I'm still not over it either.

I bought Alana a petticoat. Justin is mocking me mercilessly.

Last Friday, it was 90 degrees. This Friday is supposed to be 62. Welcome to Utah and its schizophrenic weather.

I noticed both the kids didn't have coats, so I went shopping on Saturday. Yikes, it's expensive to outfit two kids.

I discovered Bulfinch's Mythology is a good companion book to the Harry Potter series.

Liam may not be able to talk, but he knows how to click and drag on my computer, close Windows, and pause the DVR. Oops.
