For All the Saints

[browngirl]

Happy All Saints' Day to all who celebrate it!

This entry is short and messy because I am typing directly into the comment box during about 150 spare seconds between tasks. So.

Since I'm blessed with a talented photographer for a roommate, there will be a picture of my Magnificent Hat later, with my head in it.

Some NWS pictures now, of delightfully rude pumpkins:

And last but not least: Having gotten very few trick or treaters, what on earth will we do with the leftover candy? (NO, NOT 'EAT IT'.)

Build something spectacular!

[cornute.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like this! (http://missedmanners.wordpress.com/2007/01/12/what-i-did-over-christmas-vacation/)

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

That? Is MAGNIFICENT.

Some of the comments were depressing, though.

Science experiments!

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

*laugh* But candy has too many ingredients; too many variables to account for.

Food bank? Office break room?

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

Alas, neither is a viable option; food banks want real food, not candy, and about half my coworkers have children and/or live near children, so the candy dishes all over school are already full to overflowing.

...what on earth will we do with the leftover candy?

That's what office-mates are for, aren't they? And it does seem that we get fewer and fewer little ones coming to our door these days, doesn't it?

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

My officemates have already filled the school with candy, though. It's a little ridiculous. *laugh*

I wonder if people are trick or treating less these days. Certainly, no one will take anything not pre=packaged, it's a little depressing.

For the leftover candy: (make and) fill pinatas and give them to young kids having birthdays or other celebrations.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

EEE! I think I will do this! *bounces excitedly*

Would you be allowed to have a candy bowl in the reception area?

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

I'vew got one, thank goodness. But the kids are, surprisingly, not eating it that fast. They must be glutted.

What an excellent picture! Woo Hoo!

Doesn't she have a gorgeous smile? My photography teacher commented on it a few years ago when I took advantage of BU's tuition reimbursement program and my nearest local model. :)

[treacle-well.livejournal.com]

I agree. Wonderful smile; fun hat.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

*blush* Thank you. :)

[ceo]

That is a gloriously silly hat.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

*beam* Thank you for taking such awesome pictures of me. :D

In my house, leftover Halloween candy was used to decorate gingerbread houses.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

If I started making a gingerbread house... o, the trouble I'd be in. *laugh* I'd soon have the Gingerbread City.

[flabosib.livejournal.com]

I took our leftover candy into work to sweeten up my co-workers. Unfortunately, several of them had the same idea.

Must.Not.Eat.Anymore.Candy.

Sigh.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

Alas, that's exactly it. O, my God, the CANDY. Eeep!

[susannag.livejournal.com]

I'm taking mine to my knitting group.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

*falls over giggling at your icon*

[susannag.livejournal.com]

Isn't it great? I got it from Mrs. Spock.

[intenselaura.livejournal.com]

Yay, those pumpkin pics are awesome! Thanks for sharing; I really appreciate the smiles tonight.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

*grin* You're very welcome!

[fitfool.livejournal.com]

I unloaded my extra candy at a swing dance. Those pumpkins are awesome :)
