Halloween is my absolute, 100% favourite day of the year. There's scary stuff and free candy. It makes me sad that now there are trick or treating curfews. And what is this crap about candy fairies taking your loot and leaving you a toy or book instead? That sucks.<br />
<br />
Tonight is Daddy's night, so after the Boy is finished trick or treating I'm going to go home, fire up the jack o'lanterns in the living room and watch the new episode of American Horror Story. And dig into the bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups I picked up this morning, and whatever else I can manage to steal from the Boy's loot.<br />
<br />
This is Peter's 2012 jack o'lantern masterpiece, Mama June from Honey Boo Boo. It didn't photograph very well, but it looks amazing.Desperate Housewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04646972372049652156noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19718017.post-70760050408048744782012-10-30T22:35:00.002-03:002012-10-30T22:35:39.635-03:00HMS Bounty <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I saw the Bounty sometime in the 1990s in Miramichi. What a beautiful sight when it sailed up the Miramichi River. And when it left, a young guy from home went with it, just decided on the spot he was going to crew on it, ran home and grabbed his things, and off he went. What a shame it's gone.</div>

Peter and I went to Charlottetown for Canada Day/his birthday. We stayed at the <a href="http://www.fairholminn.com/" target="_blank">Fairholm Inn</a>. It looked pretty swanky on the website, but the pics totally didn't do it justice. I spent half the time there sitting in the second floor sun porch perusing the reading material. Oh, and Paul McCartney stayed there once!</div>

We took the a tour from Key West called the <a href="http://www.furycat.com/index.php">Snorkel and Sunset Sail Rum and Reggae Cruise</a>. It was amazing. I saw a giant grouper, a great big barracuda, a whole school of blue Ellen Degeneres (Nemo) fish, and a slew of other neat fish. It was magical. Almost everyone went snorkeling, except Peter. Peter can't swim, so he stayed on the boat and got hammered. He seemed to have a pretty good time, too.<br />

- To blog more. I can't remember a damn thing that happened this year without it.<br />
- To use a real mug at work and stop using styrofoam cups. They make me feel guilty.<br />
- Ditto reusable shopping bags.<br />
- Remember to bring reusable bags in to store.<br />
- Should I even bother with 'eat less crap and exercise more'? Sure, what the hell.<br />
- Use Kitchen Aid stand mixer more. <br />
- Listen to music more.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> - Do all recipes in new Michael Smith cookbook, a la Julie and Julia.<br />

- Stayed in three awesome porn inns, including my beloved Mecklenburgh Inn.<br />

- Finished massive "Shores of Hawk Run Hollow" cross stitch, one quilt top, one lap quilt, and almost finished a small hooked rug.<br />

She told him she "could tell when someone knew what they were doing," and said he should come to Vegas with her... who knows if she was talking about his photographic skills?! ;) <br />
He also went on an errand to get her M&Ms ... he said she made no diva-like demands about having the brown ones removed. <br />
