It was a dark and Stormy night when the Howl reverberated thruough the House!

It is All Hollow's Eve and Spirits will be among us tonight , splash water across your threshold that a Banshee may pass by.
Hang wolf bane on your windows and Garlic on the doorknobs

Draw the curtains and light the lights.

Turn on the TV and watch a spooky movie tonight.

I'll be giving out candy to wee goblins and monsters and recall back when my childhood friends  and Idid the same and had a ball!

When you are low , know there places to go.. Downtown ...remember Petulia

On Friday, Marion and I went downtown to the Convention center on Front street for the Womans Show.
We got there a around 11.50,it opened at 12.00noon.
The line ups was at least 250 people long and wound around like a snake in the S desgin.
As soon as you go in there's a goodies bag to be had , the show was full of freebies and new and not so new products and plastic surgery techniques geared to woman.The food court was crap nothing worth mentioning.
The breast cancer and Ovarion cancer foundations were there, the breast cancer area had this new light instrumnent that can light up any bumps or lumps on your breast under two layers of skin so you can see   its true size  so you can tell your doctor and take approiate action. That was an amazing thing.
We were there for 5 hours , and would still be going on till 9 pm that night.
Came home on the Go train, and stood all the way, Stephen Marions hubby picked us up at the kiss and ride, got home exhausted , found my son had already arrived for the weekend, we decided to order Pizza , I rested up then we had dinner when Dan got home then I went to bed about an hour later I was done. Woke up 2 hours later , got up has s quick shower and went back to bed.Nite nite!
