<p>I believe we decided upon =) as being more “with-it” than :-)</p>
<p>Sluggy left her plastic butt at home, surely that’s got to get us some serious party points, right?</p>
<p>just half way through todays posts, but 09Mom did make it home. I cursed all the way home :mad: I had waited so long for this. And besides mootmom, whom I’d already met, I couldn’t to see these people! especially that very funny sluggbugg!
I cursed my radiator shop guy all the way home :mad::mad: that darned cooling system was repaired just recently! it was the crazy, practically stopped Hwy 880 rush hour traffic that did me in. I can’t believe I missed a golden opportunity :o<br>
DARN :(</p>
<p>thanks sluggbugg for the recap
I can’t wait for the “movie” :)</p>
<p>I am so jealous. 'Nuff said. Glad ya’ll had fun!</p>
<p>
I would rather read the book. ;)</p>
<p>Thanks for checking in 09Mom. Oh man, 880 during rush hour on Halloween Night. You POOR, POOR thing! What’s your mechanic’s name? I’ll get in my sluggmobile and drive right over there and give him a swift kick in the overalls!.. Is he a large man? Does he have a tattoo of a skull on his arm? Um, on second thought, I’ll buy you a nice glass of Pinot (or, moonshine) the next time you’re in Sinner’s Alley. Glad you made it back in one piece. :)</p>
<p>09mom–We missed you. What an awful way to spend the evening. Glad you’re okay! Next time !!!</p>
<p>Well, I showed up after all. No mistaking which was the cc group. But you were all so young and fabulous looking and outgoing that I - old, frumpled, and shy - was embarassed to let you know who I was. So I took a seat at an adjoining table and eavesdropped… </p>
<p>And now I’m taking bids for not revealing what I heard.</p>
<p>j/k, of course…</p>
<p>Dig, I saw you in your Zorro costume trying to hide behind the palm leaves. Nice tights, btw. Moot, I can show you how to fold teeshirts the Japanese way. It might make your towel folding a little more exciting. =)</p>
<p>awwwww I’m glad you had such fun! I was home with my dog who barked at trick-or-treaters all evening :(</p>
<p>
Well, this firms up my plan to email slugg a photo from 20 years and 20 pounds ago, so she can splice it in to her iMovie. I figure that’s the only way I’m going to give her publication approval :p.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m pretty much a non-participant in that iMovie, so maybe I’ll send an undated photo, too!</p>
<p>Wonderful fun everyone, thanks for spying from the potted palms, dig. We all knew it was you, but we played along, good sports that we are.</p>
<p>I’m blaming the surprise layer of blubber under my chin on bad lighting, Jmmom. I could have sworn that my head did not look like a Jack-o-lantern when I left the house. Crap. :D</p>
<p>Mooters, I had to splice you out of one shot because the ribbon from the balloon centerpiece cut your face in half. I tried to Photoshop the ribbon out, but it detracted considerably from your stunning good looks! (Mouths are hard to Photoshop.) It would have been like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. 
The bat balloon was more of a participant than any of us. None of us were very enthusiastic about having our pictures taken! :)</p>
<p>Teasers, teasers. I’ll believe in those photos when I see them:).</p>
<p>Slugg:</p>
<p>D and I went shopping yesterday, big sales around, and wouldn’t you know, that nasty store had mirrors that allowed me to see myself from the rear, I thought it was my mother-in-law sneaking up behind me, but no, it was me. Can you photo shop me too???</p>
<p>Lol, somemom! Sure, I can Photoshop rear ends, just not faces. :D</p>
<p>Oh folks…if (and we hope it really happens) my daughter gets accepted to Santa Clara, will you meet again if I come out there??? Please say yes! </p>
<p>And Andi…we should get a group together in Boston!!</p>
<p>Thumper … yes, definitely. Do we have to wait until Halloween? What about Valentine’s Day?</p>
