Random Tuesday Thoughts... Sandy, Grease, zebra,

So it's Tuesday, Tuesday really are awesome. There seems to be a lull here in the wind coming in from Post Tropical Storm Sandy. The garbage can toppled first and then the chairs. You saw yesterday's chair photo. Today another chair is down but that seems to be the extent of my yard damage.

I'm lax today, really lax, I went back to bed. I suspect it's the silly candy I bought yesterday for Wednesday. I'm going to have to walk on my treadmill again tonight to recover some of the damage. I Love me some candy. oops! they were seasonal candy those creams I think they are called? mini pumpkins, candy corn, witches, butterflies, and mummies. Yellow, brown, orange and of course candy corn. Yummy but..butt!

Middle child is working on his Costume. He wants to be Steve from Mine Craft. I swear that game is taking over the world... Creepers and all.

I suggested a Zebra, since I already own the Zebra hat, (warm as toast!) I said put a clown wig on it some black and white striped pants and shirts, and some bingo dabber dots and he's Marty from Madagascar?

I  suspect that our oldest will borrow Daddy's Angry Fast Bird costume? and I'll just stuff  it with balloons? I found the pillows didn't really hold the triangle shape for hubbie lst year. see... I'll have to find that pic...

see no triangle butt

Everyone was talking about Sandy Cheeks from Spongebob when talking about Sandy but today? I've been thinking Grease the movie. HA! I even saw a photo on CNN with her photo as the hurricane spinner graphics off the coast of the USA.
So did you all buy your trick or treating treats?  Or have you been out already?

Our youngest is going to be a ninja, i got smart this year, I brought up 1 outfit we had in the house for him to try on, hahah all the rest are still boxed and bagged and he's decided he'll use the ninja suit I brought up. I mentioned this to Mom and she says "what about the fun of dressing up?" oops! You just can't argue with a Mom of 5 can you? So I'll get him to check out the other costumes in the box today. 
I can't wait to post pics Thursday.

Waiting for Sandy (Chair Status)

I'm quite inland here so I don't expect a lot of waves or tidal waves. Some people are experiencing that up the  Eastern coast of the USA.  Please stay safe and sane. Don't forget to go visit your neighbours for chocolate stock on Wednesday.

 As of 2pm (an hour ago), the wind had knocked over my Garbage can and 2 chairs in the back yard.

Words oh the Words!!

Today instead of a Wordless Wednesday I've got words.  Today I'm listening to the local Radio Morning show. Lots of Talk, they have a morning discussion and ask questions to toss around with the listeners. Today's Discussion started with "What should older women or younger women not wear". Kudos going out to the Text contributor that went "off topic" and added men because well that of course evened the playing field.

So someone said men over a certain age should not be wearing leather pants. The Announcer defended his own by pointing out they are used for Motorcycle biking. So you've defended yourself, excellent but what about those that just can't get their heads around building themselves back up after being put down for what they wear or can afford to put on that day?

We've got a lot of talk in schools about anti bullying, if you are walking down the hall of a school and pointing out what so and so shouldn't be wearing? what happens next? Does he or she defend themselves or do they latch on to that in their current adolescent turmoil(finding themselves) and say "no one likes me" "why am I here?" or do they run it through their brains over and over and over wondering why? If they are lucky they are confident in themselves and know exactly what they are wearing and why and don't give it a thought but not all kids have that ability. They put a lot of value within themselves on what other people say. Keep it friendly people.  And oh did Mom or Dad take the last few $ they had that paycheck and buy the person their only pair of jeans they could find within that set price? Are they brand name? Probably not, are they the same as everyone else wears? nope, but they fit and they are clean and warm enough to get them through to the next season or growth spurt.

Think before you speak, be an example to others.  It's true there are some people that need to make an effort to put themselves together for the day, and make a positive impression for their next job or opportunity in life and that's all there is to it. Comb your hair, brush your teeth, put a smile on your face and be yourself. No one can take that away from you. Adults be a better example, kids watch everything you do, and they learn from your example. Treat others exactly as you would like to be Treated. Be respectful. Enjoy the person not what they happen to wear that day. Get to know a person's soul...

I know I'm guilty of saying things and making judgements on others but I'm learning too. No one likes a Judgy Mc Judgerson but saying something when things are wrong is worth more than anything I could post in a picture today.
