Yay! It's October!

Everybody in the cube farm is getting excited about this Friday's paintball extravaganza. They keep asking if Hubbyfink is going to wear neck protection this time; I respond that he might wear his SCA armour.

I need to get some mums and pumpkins for the stoop and put out the Halloween doormat and door decor. I think I'll start decorating tonight.

I can't think of anything entertaining to say at the moment. ( Here, have a picture of my mom and me. )
