extra virgin olive oil

Petite Syrah will be no longer, sorry folks. I'm sticking with myspace and making my blog viewable only to friends, which can only be people I actually know. While there may be many kind and friendly strangers out there in the world, I've been nearly overwhelmed in the past couple days with ones that are too friendly and I need to be more careful from now on. Yeah that means no more blogging as if I were a ten year old kid writing a diary of whatever passing thought. So if you want to know what's happening at the dollhouse, you'll have to email me. I think I'll go curl up in a corner and disappear into spa magazine for the rest of the afternoon.

a Moo Cow, a Kitty, and a Candy Basket

Happy November 1st!! It rained all night and into the morning, and now it's nearly winter here. I'm posting pictures from Halloween. Since I spent the holiday with my family, I settled on being a moo cow. I thought that perhaps the Gretl costume would be inappropriate for family time, and I didn't want to go out unacommpanied. ;o)
The first photo is me and my niece, Ella, playing around before we put on our costumes. The pictures that follow are our little kitty cat that I took trick-or-treating. She's really the happiest baby ever, but we cannot often get her to smile at the camera. I think she's around 15 months. I'm not posting any photos of me in the cow costume. It's really for the best. I had never accompanied a small child trick-or-treating before, but let me tell you, the adult in such a situation gets gipped. People asked me, "Oh, are you trick-or-treating, too?" What? Why else would I be dressed up in this damned cow costume? Really. Next year miss coffey is going to a grown up party as gretl, or little bo peep. But I'm glad that baby had a good time. :o)
