I Bought Black Candles

Since I have fallen into a wee bit of money (my student loan check came back today. Go, me!), and we needed some things from Wal-Mart, Jen and I went shopping at 3:00 am.

We picked up our necessaries, picked up some extras. Talked about how frickin excited we are for Halloween, what we're going to carve our pumpkins into. Decided on what we're having for Halloween dinner, since it's a big deal for me. Tried to figure out the best way to keep Kris from telling Jesse about Sam&Ham before she gets used to us enough for me to find a way to tell her about Sam&Ham, and why it's important without making her uncomfortable.

We also bought some Halloween supplies. Little decorations to go in our side of the house, since Kris and Jen & I are splitting decorations to the balcony. Kris's side will be spooky, Jen & I's will be for younger kids, and we'll give out candy in the back. Also bought some raisins to give the kids who are too old to be trick-or-treating.

We found some orange candles, purple lights, and some black-and-orange mixed candles. I have orange, I wanted all black. So, I took out the orange ones, and replaced them with the black ones from another package. (I know, I'm a monster.) Anyway, Jen's watching me do this with this annoyed look on her face, because, as a Wal-Mart employee, she HATES when people do that kind of stuff. So anyway, she's watching me do this, looking annoyed/horrified/disgusted, and I spout off:

"What? Do you think I'm going to use them and then eat babies? Take them off with me to them park, cook 'em up in my witches' cauldron?"

She started laughing so hard, if she'd've been drinking a glass of milk, the milk would have shot through her nose and left a dent in the far wall.

I love that my friends are so easily amused.
