My favorite Halloween Candle is Yankee Candle's Witches Brew. Gotta stock up while they're out.
We're the farmer's scarecrows
We scare away the birds,
We keep the farmer's corn safe
Without any words.
But when Halloween comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking 'round.

I got the Dan Quayle reference almost right away. I would have gotten it sooner, but I can't seem to stop randomly ranting at empty chairs.

Bought two wee tombstones with led lights in them at the Stop & Shop today. They were on sale for two bucks a pop. I just couldn't resist!

I damand pictures!!!
Halloween wraps fear in innocence,
As though it were a slightly sour sweet.
Let terror, then, be turned into a treat...

Yesterday I stopped into my local grocery store to buy my week's supply of diet Mountain Dew, and the pumpkins were already in crates wtiting to be put out. I bet when I stop in there today to pick up some luncheon meat for tomorrow they will be on display.

There is at least one seasonal Halloween store open already I can't wait to find time to go. Still no sight of a Spirit though.

this year I found myself in a unique position. I'm a high school teacher, so I have fairly "regular" hours (M-F days, not counting the odd work at home). My wife found out that she was going to be working some evenings this fall, so I was going to have some extra free time. That combined with the need for a little extra cash (we have our first baby coming in late November!) caused me to make a decision I've been wanting to make for many years: at the age of 33, I applied & was hired as a salesperson by our local Spirit store! Ive worked a couple of days so far (we opened last Thursday), and its awesome! Working in that atmosphere....well, it is just about perfect for anyone who is signed onto this board :)

oh, and did I mention 25% discount? ;)

That's why I like the mom & pop store we have here, Halloween World South. They have new stuff every year and most of their stock is different then the chain stores. Party City, if there's one near you, also tends to have different stuff.
