We will stay here and pass out candy to how ever many neighborhood kids show up. All of what I had planned is now not happening. I went with my daughter to THE PARTY STORE yesterday to pick up some things for our Women's Day Out Event this Saturday. Also, she is throwing a bridal shower AND then a bachelorette party for a friend; the shower in two weeks and a "Slumber Party" the week before the wedding. I was amazed at the great things they have in this Party Store. I've been to many party stores and this by far, was one of THE BEST. It just so happened that the color of plates, napkins, plastic ware etc. were 50% off. Glad the bride chose those colors. We also picked up some beautiful invitations and thank you notes. When we moved from FL I also had put my old melmaline(sp) turkey platter in the garage sale and I needed a new one. They had one there that wasn't exactly what I wanted but it is melmaine (sp) and brightly colored stripes of brown, orange and yellow, more of a Fall platter but it looks very nice. And because of the Avon and the jewelry that will be here we had also chosen a soft pink and a darker pink .. "Diva" she calls it .. to decorate with. Then I went to the Halloween aisle. Wow. Great costumes etc. But we are not doing costumes. What I did buy were some little tiny plastic pumkins and I came home and filled them with little tootsie rolls, bubble gum, and lollipops. My original idea was to give out mini Snickers so that is no longer happening. And of course, we will be watching "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." I watched it last year with them for the first time. I had never watched it before because I thought it was scarey. LOL It's a HOOT.
