Planning for Halloween

Although he doesn't realize it yet, I'm going to make Rusty a superhero cape to wear on Halloween. I worked it all out in my head while I was riding the bus home. So I have my work for tomorrow night.

Tonight is laundry night and "there's nothing on TV" night, so I'll be watching a movie on cable. I think Urban Legend is on some channel starting at 7, so after The Simpsons is over, I'll watch something scary (maybe).

I got Halloween candy for any trick-or-treaters that happen to show up at my door on Monday night. Anything that's left will go to work to be devoured my co-workers. That's what they're for. Especially since Rusty doesn't get to eat chocolate.

I need to stop reading so late into the night. However, I fall into the trap of "one more chapter" and by the time I finally close (or finish) the book, it's well beyond the time I intended to turn off the lights.

Tonight is laundry night, because I chose not to do it last weekend. So now I have to do it. Of course, it could wait until Saturday or Sunday, but I'm afraid of being arrested by the clean underwear police, or having to go to the doctor/emergency room.

I went to Barnes and Noble (my favorite store ever) and got a new book today, and a little mini-bonsai kit. It suggests putting it on my desk at work, but I'm afraid Boris the spider plant would get jealous. And the grass I got from a co-worker for my birthday died a horrible death from neglect in my office. I think the new plant will have to live in the window with my African violets, pepper plant, Christmas cactus, and various other plants. I think the only reason Boris survives the work environment is that here at home he was sitting under George (a big plant) and didn't get any light.

No news on the dating front. But I'm not discouraged. I'm not doing it because I NEED to be in a relationship. I'm doing it to keep me entertained when I'm sitting at home being a hermit with Rusty and my plants.
