Happy Halloween!

Nothing really exciting to report. I am, however, looking forward to taking the kids out for trick-or-treating tonight ! S9 dressed up this year as a skeleton (his first time ever choosing to be something "spooky"), S6 will be Spiderman, and S1 is going to be Superman....he looks too adorable in his little red cape !

S9 and S6 actually talked me into dressing up this year . I don't think I've worn a costume since I was 19 or 20 (for work). Anyway, I was going to be a witch, but then I thought "nah"; I'll be a kitty cat -- simple and cute !

I talked with H last night (he should be back by now from OR). He's going to meet us tonight here at the house for trick-or-treating. We talked for a while, and he told me how the show was going for them. We also chatted about the fights/fighters on "The Ultimate Fighter 2" (a reality show on SpikeTV). H missed one episode, so I told him he could watch it over here if he wanted to since I recorded it on the DVR. He seemed to be thrilled about that. Then after he was quiet for a moment, H said, "I miss watching it with you." I told him, "Me, too."

I do miss those times....times when I felt we were best friends....it didn't matter what we were doing or watching....we were like the best of friends....watching baseball, basketball, football, UFC fights, boxing, or actually going to games....we always laughed together and/or were amazed at the same plays, submissions, knockouts, whatever....those were all good times.
