Here I am in the Hallmark store, buying a birthday card. They have some Halloween goodies on display. There is another woman checking out said goodies. We start chatting...
She says, "If I bring home one more Halloween thing, my husband's gonna divorce me."
Hooch says, "Me, too!"
She says, "He took away my charge card."
Hooch says, "Me, too!"
She says, "I can't wait for Halloween, it's my favorite holiday!"
Hooch says, "Meee Toooo!!!"
So we talk for 30min (no kidding) about our love of Halloween, her decorations, my decorations, her parties, my parties, her costumes, my costumes, we both buy a bunch of Halloween cards, walk out together to the parking lot so that she can see the Magic Pumpkin, (she was suitably impressed...she says that the Pumpkin trumps every Halloween accessory that SHE owns!
), we exchange names and emails (turns out she is a friend of one of my coworkers at the hospital), and when I get home, I realize I forgot to buy the birthday card!!!!! 
)
