I like Warehouse Stores

Y'know, Costco, Sam's Club. I get the biggest kick out of going there. I'm not sure why, but I do. Big sections of large flat screen TV's or Piles of Fleece Throws. Then all those fancy doo-dads for offices, leather chairs, file cabinets.

And of course since we just barely passed Halloween, we have Christmas Stuff up all over.

And Bulk Food. Man that's the neatest thing to see. Want 125 Individual Pudding cups? Excellent! How bout 20lbs of cheese. We got that too. 5lb jars of Pickles, Economy size Mustard, Pretzel Tubs, just how freaking sweet!

Halloween '05

Had a better crop of ToTers this year, but not as much as my first year in my complex. Neighbor's Kid was a pink poodle, who hated to wear the headpiece, but did for us. Her father correctly guessed that I was a Jedi Master for Halloween. One girl thought I was a Ninja, which I guess is close since the Jedi's are based in some part off of the Samurai. Only One girl recognized Sara's costume as a Slytherin Student. It may have helped that she was dressed as Hermione (I saw the red/gold scarf, and Sara picked up on her pretty and mousy hair like Hermi's) We had a little witch that waited to come up after all her brothers & Sisters were finished. The girl toddled up to the door and then roared at us like a lion. That won cute points, so she got extra candy.Had a 10 year old dressed as a Playboy Kitty Cat. She said Hi. we said hi. Small pause, then I prompted her with the "Come on, say it" hand gesture. She said "What? Oh, Trick or Treat".Only one group of boys (2 of em, aged 10-12 i think) try the "Well no one else is coming, might as well give all of your candy out."We went through perhaps 1/3 of our candy stash, not to bad, but plenty left over to make the dieters at my office hate me :)
