Exactly 22

Carlos and I fixed up exactly 22 Ziploc storage bags full with...

• a box of 24 crayons,
• a pencil with a big top eraser,
• a large toothpaste and toothbrush,
• a Hershey's bar,
• a five count pack of chewing gum,
• a small pumpkin from Lucille
• and Mother had us to put in a sucker.

I told each trick or treater not to eat the pumpkin.

Believe it or not! We received exactly 22 trick or treaters! I couldn't believe it.

When Michelle comes up for Thanksgiving I will give her the remaining crayons to put in the Christmas socks and Easter baskets for her classroom. That is 43 boxes.

Halloween Costume

Here's Emerson all dressed up and ready for Trick or Treating.

He decided to dress up real scary this year, he is going as Grandpa Clyde.

Grandma Jennie thought it was hilarious. I thought he made a pretty handsome fellow.

MySpace Messed Up

When I was working on the page with links to the MySpace pages of StalkerClan members, I noticed a problem with Shawn's MySpace Page. It looks to me like Bert, or is that Sugar, has somehow gotten into Shawn's computer. I sure hope he can clean things up. Posted by Clyde

Thanks Meaner

Our class would like to thank Meaner for our pumpkin buckets. We have filled them so full already that we may have to put side boards on the tops of them to hold all the goodies.

So Much Cooler Online

I'm having a hard time understanding baby sis' Michelle. She asked me to add links to some of the MySpace pages of StalkerClan members. I've been working on it and what I have so far is HERE.

I don't have a MySpace page and I've always had the impression people tried to make themselves look "So Much Cooler Online" on them. Like in Brad Paisley's song:

I work down at The Pizza Pit
And I drive an old Hyundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I'm five foot three and overweight
I'm a sci-fi fanatic, mild asthmatic
Never been to second base

But there's a whole 'nother me
That you need to see
Go check out MySpace.

'Cause online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm six foot five and I look damn good
I drive a Maserati, I'm a black belt in karate
And I love a good glass of wine

I figured that Michelle had put together a page that presented a glossy image of her like everyone else does. I expected she had posted a photo like this ...

But, when I look at her page, I find ...

I wonder, if people assume this is the "much cooler online" Michelle, what do they think the REAL Michelle looks like?

Like I said, I have a hard time understanding her.
