Happy All Hallow's Eve to everyone.

Here are some interesting facts about All Hallow's Eve and Halloween.

The origin of the word “witch” means “wise woman.” It was derived from the Old English word wicce.

Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween

Instead of just saying “trick-or-treat,” you used to have to dance.

Halloween is known by various names, including All Hallows’ Eve, Witches Night, Lamswool Snap-Apple Night, Samhain and Summer’s End.

 Costumes are worn because people believed the line between the living and the dead was blurred. They put on masks so the spirits wouldn’t recognize them

A Little bit of Everything

Wildflowerafternoons

Okay, so it's the day after Halloween. For the first time in thirteen years, I had a quiet, I don't have to go out, fight traffic, crowds and the fright of a little kid running out infront of my car night. Yes, the teenager went off to do his own thing, not trick or treating, all he wanted was the candy, admitted he's really not into it anymore, so I told him I'd buy a couple bags today to satisfy the candy hunger and he was happy with that, LOL. So now it's time to start having Halloween Parties. *YAY*
So not sure about the rest of you, but my butt was up at 7:23 AM (Damn turning back the clocks) :-) What did I do, well, I jumped right back into bed until 8AM, LOL.I do feel fully refreshed and rested though.
Florida's starting to cool down a bit, *YAY* it's to be in the low 80's today with less humidity and in the upper 50's tonight!! I've waited so long!! (Hand brushing across forehead)

I'm also in the market for a mini netbook. I've played with a few here and there, messed around with a Acer and A dell mini inspiration last night at Wal-Mart and went to read several reviews. I really like the key board on the dell. The buttons are just a bit larger, and felt more comfortable.

It seems the Toshiba mini has had a lot of negative feed back about the keypad being really sensitive and the mouse jumping around. That is one thing I want to avoid big time. I can't stand that.Anyone out there have a netbook they want to share the scoop on? I'll take the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
I need more coffee so I'm going to end here and say, Good Morning to Happy the Clock has been turned back day! You all got to sleep an extra hour and wake up earlier, LOL. :-)

Halloween Last Night

Well the tricking and treating is over with. No real tricks were played, but a lot of treating LOL.

Although, when I was a kid. If you had your lights on, or you were outside, you had candy to give.

I couldn't believe the amount of people who left their lights on, and or where sitting in their drive way with "caution tape" strung across it so no one could enter.
In my days, that was call for toilet papering or a good soaping.

Then this one house, actually says to the kids, if you give me a Reese's cup, I'll give you candy. HUH??? What's up with that?? Lady give me treat or expect a trick!!

Of course my boy looks at her and says "*snort* I don't give my Reese's up to anyone including my mom" and walks away. YAY MY BOY!!!!
Hey wait a minute...I like those Reese's too, LMAO

Hope everyone had a fun and safe night!!
