This is really wierd, so, I never posted this often on my xanga and I don't know why I am posting so often now. Wierd. Anyway, the Trunk or Treat thing that our church did was on Sunday night and it turned out really to be great. We had almost 30 cars (double what we had last year) and a bunch of the neighborhood families came and I dressed up as a Jedi (pictures coming soon) It was a lot of fun. I love little kids. I really do, but halloween really anoise me. Personally I don't have anything against kids going trick or treating, or making jack 'o' lanterns because it's not evil, even if halloween started out that way (for the most part) it isn't anymore. But: it is amazing to me to watch the people who come to my door on halloween. Some of them are accompanied by their parents who are there to make sure they are safe. They stand at the gate, sometimes in costume, sometimes not, and tell their kids to say thank you... And then there are the parents who come to the door with their infants and small children in hand who you know are to young to eat any of the candy, in fact they are to young to even say trick or treat. They don't always say thank you. Just a random observation. Yeah, I get pretty frustrated over it when I don't need to.
The Debate tournament is closing in on us, and Chris and I are officially in. (this whole late confirmation thing was making me nervous, though I guess it really isn't that late) I am stressing out. If we hit a team that is putting caps on non-economic damages, changing the Feres Doctrine, Eliminating the NVICP, or creating Health Courts, I will be fine... Other than that, I have nothing. I feel so incredibly unprepared!!! It's only the first tournament of the year though. I have been working so hard on debate recently and I really want it to pay off. We took Monday off because it is halloween and Devan's son's birthday, so I did debate. All. Day. Long. From like 7-8 and no, that isn't one hour, that's 13 hours (though I did have a couple breaks in between) and then another couple hours yesterday, and I am going over to Chris' house to work on affirmative this morning. I love Debate :-D So hopefully all of that work will pay off.

When I was an kid, in the 1950's and 60's. My mom told me "Jim do not take candy from anyone you do not know" then came halloween, it was ok to take candy from someone I did not know. dose that make cents to you?
When I was about 6 years old, I ask my mom If I could met the easter bunny, she ask why, I told her, I knew the easter bunny only could I take candy from him(her?)
I have never understood that. It really makes no sense to tell your kids they shouldn't take candy from strangers and then go get a whole sac full of candy from them just because it is halloween.
