Lion and Magic Boy

I think it’s safe to turn my lights back on now. Every year I buy candy for Halloween and then either I live in the middle of whatthefuck and no on comes to the door at all or I am frightened by the thought of packs of three-foot tall people begging for candy at my door so I leave the lights off and cower in the bathroom for four hours.

I had the laptop upstairs and was watching some episodes of 30 Rock (only heard of it a few weeks ago), so it was okay. But I have at least $10 worth of black-market Milky Ways and Three Musketeers here that I have no idea what to do with. Any ideas? Is it recyclable?

You’re not suggesting I eat this stuff, are you?

Good. Because that so is not happening.

So today I found out what small claims court is all about. Needless to say, I was unimpressed. Is it just me or is it weird when a guy takes his ex-wife to court? Is that even legal? I guess it is. I have no idea as to the outcome yet, but I did get to wear my black court suit again so it wasn’t a total loss. Those black pumps are almost getting comfortable.

The children are with The Ex tonight, who has again co-opted the holidays this year, at least the ones involving major food consumption. It’s going on 10 pm and they are likely still trudging from house to house, collecting candy for his consumption. I so did not say that. Perhaps I am still bitter over the court experience, which necessitated having to leave Eric at a day care center that I had never been to before because I couldn’t find anyone to watch him. He seemed okay yet was regarding a cupcake and a lone apple slice quite dubiously when I picked him up, and I have yet to know Eric to turn down food, especially cake! except when he’s sick.

So I thought I would point out that although this will post on November first, it’s clearly still October 31 in my time zone and in several others as I write this (shhhh!), so is this cheating for NaBloPoMo?

Don’t answer that. I have already decided.

And oh, I have set the bar veeeery low for quality this month. Yay me!
