Independence Eve

So bored. Weird stomach pain that gets worse when I eat, and comes in waves. It’s right under my sternum to the left, and hurts for about 10 or 15 seconds every 10 to 30 minutes. Ugh. Anyway, if I still have this pain come Tuesday, I’ll make an appointment.

It’s a nice cool night at least, a little breezy, and a comfy 60°. The girls are on the patio cleaning off chairs so we can take them to go sit on the roof of my husbands work parking garage and watch the Gas Works fireworks. They found some spiders, and are spazzing out now. Oh, so if you’re cool and don’t mind the 4 hours of traffic leaving Gasworks park, The Presidents of the United States are playing a free concert before and after the fireworks show, go! We’re cool, but the traffic… no thanks.

Anyway, just finished watching Spiderman 2, and now I’m going to pvp or something. Peace.

Happy Halloween

 

It’s the day my kids have been waiting for; well, me too I suppose. Costumes are ready to be put on after school, and candy is ready to be passed out. I’ve rented An American Haunting, and Slither for my spookfest tonight. I can’t wait! No really, I don’t think I can, lol.

Critters and Halloween

From my e-mail newsletter from ASPCA:

NO SCAREDY CATS (OR DOGS!) THIS HALLOWEEN: TOP 10 SAFETY TIPS
Attention, pet parents! The ASPCA would like to call your attention to some common-sense cautions that’ll keep your pets safe and stress-free this time of year:

– No tricks, no treats: That bowlful of candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for Scruffy and Fluffy. Chocolate in all forms can be very dangerous for dogs and cats, and tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed.

– Dress-up can be a big mess-up for some pets. Please don’t put your dog or cat in costume unless you know he or she loves it (yup, some pets are real hams!). For companion animals who prefer wearing their “birthday suits,” however, wearing a costume can cause undue stress.

Popular Halloween plants such as pumpkins and decorative corn are considered to be relatively nontoxic, yet they can produce gastrointestinal upset should pets ingest them. Intestinal blockage could even occur if large pieces are consumed.

For our complete list of Halloween safety tips, visit ASPCA.org. And please remember, if you suspect that your pet has ingested a potentially dangerous substance—around Halloween or any time of year—please call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

P.S. If you haven’t already done so, check out our Halloween eCards. They’re boo-ti-ful, if we do say so ourselves.
