This year, Ed and I decided to stay home and take it easy. It had been a long week, and we were looking forward to passing out candy from our house and seeing all the kids from our neighborhood. Ed did not get home from work until around 6, so I had the candy all ready to go and even had one customer before he got home. When Ed finally came home, he came into the kitchen wearing his "king" mask that he loves so much. When he wears it, he definately gets into character and doesn't say a single word. I didn't notice it at first. After talking to him for a min. or so, he wouldn't answer me and when I looked up, the King was staring at me! He succeeded in freaking me out, but what I think he was really looking forward to was freaking out some little children! However, it was not to be. For some reason, we didn't have any more trick or treaters the rest of the night! I couldn't believe it. I mean, we live in a condo, so I didn't expect there to be a ton of kids, but at least more than one! We were both pretty disappointed. The King felt better, though, when I offered him some chicken wings.
So it finally happened to me . . . I turned 30. Ed had a great party for me with lots of wine, wine, and more wine . . . yummy Italian meat and cheese . . . it was a great time. We had a wine tasting contest where everyone brought a bottle and rated which one they liked the best. Ed got me a New Kids on the Block CD to "make me feel like I was sixteen again." It worked. I do feel sixteen again, but only when I listen to it, not any other time. I feel 30 the rest of the time. It was fun to have a bunch of friends over to celebrate. Now its starting to sink in, and I guess I really don't feel any different, but life sure flies by fast, especially when it's a good one!
