The Big DumpTruck

It’s never to early to decide on a Halloween costume. I hear (from a reliable source) that “we” are all dressing as super heros this year. As in all the kids and adults who normally trick or treat out of my sister’s house, aka, “ground zero”.

So now I have to figure out which super hero I can possibly pull off, given that I’m not built like one would normally imagine a superhero. So far the best I think I can do is one of the Powerpuff girls. But my hair is mostly Buttercup, but who the hell wants to be Buttercup? She’s not the cute one or the smart one, she’s the mean one!

Why don’t they have Spongebob clothes for people going to work? I could get plenty of lovely stuff for Jr. with Spongebob on it. T-shirts. Pajamas. Underwear. But no blouses or skirts. It’s really a crime. I’m going to be going to work every day and nothing I wear will have Spongebob on it. *sigh*

I should go back to the cafeteria to see what the sign says exactly; they may have confused the anniversary of Elvis’s death with his birthday. That would explain the free cake. That’s right, the cafeteria had free cake today to celebrate [mumble] Elvis. I think the mumble says birthday, but it SHOULD say anniversary of his death, because that’s tomorrow. He didn’t die the day after his birthday, did he?

The grill section special of the day? Fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. No, really. I took a pass on that, as I had peanut butter last night, in a more normal form. You know, in a Fluffernutter.

Which raises the question – is cake an appropriate way to “celebrate” someone’s death? I think no. But it’s cake and it’s free, so, okay, sure, why not.

My numbers are down, so I can only assume my readers are all on the same power grid.

Junior is moving on from the home daycare/childcare setup. I’ve been
incredibly happy with the care provided by the Heart to Heart daycare in
Leominster. With the economy the way it is, the owner has some empty slots
that she just hasn’t been able to fill, and that’s making her a bit nervous.
If you need HIGH QUALITY child care and you live in the Leominster –
Fitchburg area, please drop me an email and I’ll get you in touch with the
owner, Sheila Roy. Consider this a public service announcement combined with
me wanting to help out a friend.
