Devil or Angel?....

Halloween Workers

I've told you I don't do Halloween, but when I got to work on Friday, these two were already wearing their "costumes". Actually, Kim (my boss/friend on the left) bought these get-ups for her two Golden retrievers' photo shoot. She brought them to work for her and Teresa (my pal and Tuesday work mate) to wear. The silly baubles I was wearing were waiting for me when I got there.

I will say, my headgear had me laughing all night. I'm usually running around quite a bit on Friday nights. I answer the phone for takeout orders of fish or chicken (and the rest of our menu), but I'm also a runner for the kitchen and to help Brandon (the cashier) get orders out when our customers come in. Every time I moved my head, these balls bounced around and were making me wObBLy. Understand when I say "run", I don't mean literally, although I do get around remarkably well these days.

So, this is how I looked Friday from 3:30 until 7 pm. My "regulars" thought they were amusing, but I was glad to take them off at the end of my shift. 

The weekend was dedicated to a little baking and a lot of laundry. I really felt accomplished when I went to bed last night.

Kim asked me to cover for her a couple hours this afternoon, and I'm working four hours for Sara tomorrow (my usual Tuesdays resume next week), so I'll have my days chopped up a bit this week. I'm going to try to start the cutting and piecing for my bluebird hanging today and tomorrow while I'm home, and then I have some more canning on my agenda Wednesday. I'm as interested as you are to see what I can actually accomplish. For today...It's off to the races! See you tomorrow.

  1. Oh dear, you're a good sport! Reading your list of "to-do" for this week has me sighing... yup, it's Monday again already... off to the races we go... 🤪 Looking forward to seeing your fabric selections and piece work come together!

    1. Hi Lois:
      I don't know. I've had a burst of energy lately. I'm restless (more than usual) if I sit too long. Even today. I usually come home from work and take a short nap. Not today. I baked bread! Handsome had rehearsal and came home to the smell of bread in the oven. Don't know what's going on, but I'm going to capitalize on this new found energy while I can!

  3. Those are the type of costumes I could manage to wear - if I had to. Sounds like you have a busy week ahead.

    1. Hi MA:
      Agreed. I spent more time giggling at the other ladies. Of course, the customers loved my head gear! Glad to have that behind me, though. Onward into the next week!

  4. I don't do Halloween either, never liked it as a kid either, not even for the candy.
    That would be the extent of my costume also.
    Another great week ahead of you.
    Oh those bluebirds..............

    1. Hi Shirley:
      I did as a kid. We lived in town and there were about twenty kids in our immediate neighborhood, so everyone went out. I haven't dressed in any costume since I was about 30, and that was a party Handsome and I went to right after we were married. I made our costumes. He went as Merlin, and I was his black cat. lol I'm looking forward to working on the bluebirds, too. More pictures soon.
