Are you ready for Halloween?

October 3, 2007 by Tricia

It’s that time of year again. Time to dress up like your favorite Ghoul, Goblin or fantasy character!

That’s right. Halloween is coming and if you haven’t picked out your costume yet there’s still time to find a great one.

I’ve spent some time looking at the huge selection of Halloween Costumes available at halloweenexpress.com and I’m impressed.

Wait did I say Halloween costumes?

grimreaper.jpg Yes they have plenty of those, but they also carry costumes for all the big holidays. If you want a Mardi Gras costume, or one for the Fourth of July, Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day, Presidents day or even Easter you should take a look at the selection at Halloweenexpress.com.

I’m sure the holiday that’s on your mind right now is Halloween as it’s only 28 days away.

Halloween Express carries costumes for adults and children. They also have a wide selection of costume accessories such as makeup, wigs, hair, masks, decorations and props and they even have group and theme based costumes. You can get everything you need for a perfect Halloween celebration.

Adults can find costumes for horror movie characters, for men, women, career costumes such as nurse, military, police and more. If you want to dress up in a sexy costume you’ll certainly be able to find something to suit your style.

If you’re having a Halloween party you might want to take a look at Halloweenexpress.com’s selection of decorations. You can get everything from DVDs and CDs filled with creepy music perfect for Halloween night, to hanging props, party supplies, Skeletons and Ghouls, to wall hangings.

Halloweenexpress.com is a US based company, but they can ship virtually anywhere in the world. They offer several shipping options so if you do decide to purchase a costume or other Halloween goodies from them you should be able to have your items shipped to you in time for Halloween.

Visit Halloweenexpress.com today and start planning for Halloween.

Wordless Wednesday

trees at beach

I feel bleak, cold, gray ….

Sorry. I haven’t posted for a few days because I’ve been very sick.

I’ve had fevers high enough to melt the little pads off my mouse (that make it glide easily) when I lie on my side on the couch looking at my laptop computer. Now that’s hot.

Just as I was about to start posting on Tuesday afternoon I looked at the stats for several of my sites and discovered that some very hypocritical elite bloggers had made a post about my gardening blog. My first post after my illness imposed blogging break was a rebuttal on my gardening blog against hypocritical bloggers.

So yes this old picture of trees in early spring that I took at Toronto’s beaches a few years ago reflects how I’m feeling right now.

Sad. Angry. frustrated. Bleak …

Prince in disguise?

I wonder if someone were to kiss this crowned frog if it would turn into Prince Charming?

This is another piece of metal artwork that my husband and I saw when we went to the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in downtown Toronto during the summer.

The show was fantastic, but I enjoyed the metal art work the most.

I’d love to have this metal sculpture either in my garden or on our front porch to greet visitors.

Our neighbors house is for sale!

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

Chris should be home from work any minute so I just went to the door to unlock it for him and while I was there I peeked outside. Chris walks home from work since we only live about three blocks away from the Hospital. I didn’t see him, but I did see a For Sale sign on our karaoke neighbors lawn!

Yeah! Finally!

They must have had a ton of repairs to do before they could put their house up for sale. I heard sawing noises as late as yesterday and hammering etc as early as what? Mid- August or so?

I’m not certain it’s their best moving putting their house up for sale at this time of year. They have a teenage son and they say that they want to move close to the husbands work (which really isn’t all that far from here) so does that mean their son will have to change schools? I think he’s in grade nine or ten. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have wanted to change schools while in one of those grades. Poor kid.

Well, we’ll see how things go. If they do sell I hope we get better, quieter neighbors! If we don’t, well, that will just re-enforce the fact that the next home we buy will be detached!

Getting together with friends from St. Lucia

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

Sometime later this evening, after my husband gets home from work, we’re having some friends over. Chris invited them over so that they can jam. I think they’re going to be playing music with a bit of island flare to it. Did I not mention our friends are from the beautiful island of St. Lucia?

I always enjoy when they come over because I get to learn more about other countries and cultures. You see our friends enjoy talking about St. Lucia. I don’t blame them one bit either as it sounds like a lovely island full of friendly people and beautiful scenery.

Did you know that the people of St. Lucia enjoy Creole food? Since the island was first colonized by the French this has greatly influenced their culinary style. Perhaps I should make a Jambalaya for dinner? Or maybe some fresh fish. Whatever I make I’m sure it won’t match the style of food from St. Lucia, but I could try.

One day Chris and I will visit St. Lucia and try the various popular foods ourselves. I’m not too sure if I’ll like saltfish though. I hear it’s an acquired taste!

Our friends often tell us how beautiful the beaches of St. Lucia are, so I’m sure if we went to the island we’d be spending some time on the beach as well. Perhaps traveling around to see different ones on each side of the island.

Anyway, we should have an interesting evening tonight. Our friends are always fun to get together with, and as I said, I enjoy learning more about their original homeland of St. Lucia when they visit.
