Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Spice Latte, anyone? No?

 

Argh.

 

And I thought it was late back when we carved pumpkins on actual Halloween day. In other news, did you even know that it’s next to impossible to buy a pumpkin anywhere on October 31st? Not Ralph’s, not Pavilions, not Trader Joe’s, not Bristol Farms, not Walmart, not Target. Huh, I didn’t either. Apparently there is a mass exodus of all pumpkins on October 30th. Now we know and knowledge, as they say, is power.

Huh?

 

Anyway. We ended up at a makeshift “pumpkin patch” set up next to the mall where they were selling their last few picked-over, sad-yet-enormous pumpkins for a flat rate. Yep, for $15 each, you too, can be your children’s Halloween hero.

 

I repeat: aaaaaaarrrrrrrgh.

 

So yeah, that happened. And then the holidays were upon us one after another in rapid succession. And then things got busy. And then they got really busy. Then super busy. Then I was going to pop in here with a witty, “Tis the season to… carve pumpkins!” or “It’s beginning to look a lot like… Halloween”. Or some such.

 

And then my blog decided to break and wouldn’t load any pictures for no good reason.

 

And then I sat on a pile of ashes and ate leftover Christmas chocolate. Reminding me anew how much I opposite-of-love computer/web/techie stuff. But at least the chocolate was good.

 

And then, the new year came and the blog mysteriously decided to work again.

 

So here I be. Blowing the proverbial dust off and picking up where I left off. Glad to be back.
