My parents totally forgot to buy Halloween candy, my dads away on buisness trip and my moms working overtime, I think I’m supposed to buy candy because everyone forgot but I just am feeling lazy today and I’m a mess too, don’t feel like taking an entire shower etc…just to go buy candy for kids like 10 blocks away so I found instant microwave popcorn ( we just bought a bulk pack so there are like sixty packs in the closet ) ,string weight watchers cheese, and instant oatmeal packs (apple cinnamon flavor etc…), they are individually wrapped by machine so do you think I could hand this out instead aswell as other items ?

Okay so my aunt, three best friends and i are hosting a carnival in June durning the summertime. So far we have a snow cone machine cotten candy popcorn maker and a few games. we are also having a ring toss you throw a ring on a soda and win it the glass toss you toss a washer into a piece of glass and win candy a dart throw balloons for the kids and a goldfish game. We were wondering if it was a good idea. we will not buy fish. Instead of fish they get a coupon from a local pet store to get a free goldfish. The coupons cost ten dollars for forty. The coupons can be used anytime they want to as long it isn’t a sunday the pet store closes. We were wondering if this was a good idea?
Thank you for the nice commets but really the coupons are only good for the fish. If they do not want fish or the parents at least we will have at least a prize box filled with little toys and candy.

we want to put in a stone fireplace..we see all the neighbors with the wood stacked and men doing chimney repairs..my parents did not have one built on the house cuz in the 50s they thought it was old fashioned..our grandparents summer house had a huge fireplace with large stones..i used to love to throw plastic cartons in the fire and watch them melt..my mom says ok with the idea..were thinking 30.000 thousand…that’s a lot for ambiance but…winter roasted chestnuts and fire place popcorn sounds cool.a neighbor said its a pain for repairs..soot..cleaning and too much work for pretty…is it worth it? we thought about a franklin stove or something of that nature but want to fiddle with the logs and see the flames..

too much chaos, and most of all $$. we’re are not wealthy. but we can still afford some luxeries once in a whillee… like going to the movies, eating popcorn, and sometimes, once in a while for really special occasions like my birthday, we even get to go bowling.

so i have had bday parties when i was 1,2,3, 5, 7,and 9, and 10 and 11. i am now 14. so i decided to finally do something nice, because i missed my 13th.

so i tell my parents i want a party. they say okay. so my mom tells me to buy whatever i want, and not to look at the prices because she feels guilty. so i say fine. i buy a whole bunch of stuff in every store i go to and this is the pricing.

btw 10 girls are coming!!
grocery shopping: 2.08– wth? how did that happen? we bought milk, eggs, doughnuts, bagels, creamcheese, and icecream, and frozen pizza. oh and candy and chips. we already have bread, peanutbutter, and jelly at home.

entertainment:
a movie- .99
a rented kariokie machine-

fun:
got my hair done- including tip!!! so expensive…. but really nice treatment.
got my nails done- and 2 dollar tip.
got nailpolish for the party- (got 7 shades)

how expensive? we’re keeping them for an entire 24 hours. i have no idea what to do.

so kariokie, painting our nails, what else? oh yeah, we’re taking a walk. we have music so maybe a little dancing.

and the movie i rented. ugh this is so annoying and overwhelming help!!! what can i do for cheap or low money???!?!?!

And I always try to make homemade old fashioned treats that were around during my childhood and that of my parents. Usually I have hand dipped carmel apples, homemade sugar cookies decorated in Halloween shapes, apple cider, Hot chocolate (homemade), homemade fudge, hand made chocolate covered various bonbons etc… Do you have any ideas for any others? Oh… I do popcorn balls too. Any one remember anything else from years ago?
Oh Lady M….I am no longer a slave to my taste buds…I simply don’t eat sugar any more….Food is fuel for my body….But I do enjoy my cooking skills!!!
