It's Halloween Day

afternoon all,
today is halloween and my costume is on my avatar (i could never find a cool costume like this one). i put her in a goth outfit, with dangle earrings and black hair. (i think black hair looks quite chick (french accent) on this animated representation of myself) the avatar is my wannabe becca - wish i could look great everyday and have my hair perfect, also think i would like to be in perfect shape since this is a wish list. (you know the hollywood killing machine of perfection with a great personality to boot...) *see personality situation below.* umm anyway, check out the shoes :). yeah, try walking in those things much less standing up.

i have noticed a scary trend here, in ok, with spiders. they are huge and everywhere. these things keep building webs around our house, and for some reason (that i can not fathom), i am the one to walk through the webs. now mind you, i am horribly frightened by spiders. SPIDERS KILL people. and i am sure i would be one of those who die. ( i realize i am probably not even allergic to them, but i could be and i will not push that envelope.)
yesterday - yes, i was a busy, busy, busy.... little bee you may recall all the things i was doing, cooking, couch project, etc. well - i swept the cobwebs away from the doorbell and around the edges of our front door. should have left it up till this evenings festivities get over. great natural decoration. - back to the large spider comment - before taking my husband to work (one of the cars is out of order) he headed out the door before me. "Hey, found your spider web from last night" (must have been monday morning then, which means i wasn't really taking him to work he just came back in to show me the spider) - that puppy was at least 1 1/2" round. then it spread its legs out and (i am shuddering remembering the incident...) headed toward some bush we have. (soon to be obliterated if i have any favor....) the spider had build a web from our drain spout to the bushes. YIKES!! i am so glad for my spider killer husband - this one he didn't kill tho... it ran like a squeamish little girl (umm that hits too close to home actually). ... ran like a fire was chasing it. there makes me feel better.
as for the tradition of handing out candy - well, i have decided to forgo that. i would simply consume the bag - be better to just by the bag and gorge myself so that i don't have to buy a costume. storyline - no candy in the house.

on another thread - i have met a few people that i really don't care for here. only the reason i do not care for them is because of the tendency they have to monopolize the conversation. I would like to monopolize the conversation. NEWS FLASH: i really like to have full attention on myself and be the center of everyone's world. kind of like a becca channel - becca all day, all the time. i am just so darn interesting. ( i know, i know, most of you had no clue did you? admit it - NO CLUE!! no, no, really it's alright that you didn't know. most people would not.) so now, i am finding that i have this horrible habit (well, i am sure there are plenty of other habits too) that must be broken so that others can stand to be around me. the problem to deal with? - i WANT to only talk about myself (hear the whine here....). i think i am grateful to see behaviors that need to change in my life, and meanwhile i will attempt to avoid certain individuals, often. (probably will have to be in constant contact with them until it no longer bothers me.)

on the subject of projects - we are PLANNING to put the baseboard trim on tonight. i have it all laid out and hope to put nails in it. then we will need to put up the chair rail - probably saturday since it is a 2-3 hour project. also need to purchase a few more items for the "couch" project (gnash teeth) amazing how much that is costing... i am making plans to purchase some bookshelves so we can unload another 7 - 10 boxes. (yeah tinder for the fireplace..) also thinking of spray painting the tv console. (i love spray paint - it is like magic color changing stuff. so much can be quickly accomplished with it)

and finally i would like to give a shout out to some of my visitors - bob, marianne, and randie - thank you for leaving comments. later all
