I was visiting a friend, we went walking and saw FUN Halloween decorations! Some houses were really creative. It makes walking more interesting.
GUESS WHAT — I have a friend whose birthday is on Halloween!
So, a BIG SHOUT OUT TO Maura. If she’s reading, she’ll know I’m thinking about her.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! MAKE IT FUN!
And if YOUR birthday is on Halloween… Happy Birthday to YOU too!
A spooky typewriter. I LOVE this! I’m sad it’s not real!!
When I saw it, I immediately thought how perfect it was. In fact, as it has a page in it already, I thought of this old dusty piano my grandfather had that played music by itself. This would be similar.
Imagine you get up in the morning, depending on the keys you hit, the typewriter starts typing! You sit with your coffee, feet kicked up on the desk, reading the newspaper. What a glorious morning. Typewriter makes a cackling sound when story is done. You rip off the pages. THEN – Off to the editor!
My girlfriend’s birthday is on Halloween. She’s been doing research on her Irish family. They have some haunted cemeteries there. She could use this typewriter to RECORD family history. What do you think?
I HAVE SOMETHING BETTER. Although, if she survived the heart attack on opening the birthday box, I’m not sure we would still be friends. Imagine my fright, when I was “innocently” looking at Halloween stuff, turned TOO QUICKLY and saw this boa constrictor.
Oh my gosh — I DID JUMP BACK!! Realized it was a FAKE, then said a few… well, BAD WORDS!!
So, I decided neither of these were quite right.
The search continues… I did see a HUGE purple spider in someone’s yard. It had googly eyes. FUNNY!
I enjoy seeing the decorations. Some people go ALL OUT with their Halloween decorations & costumes.
Who says birthdays are boring?
My daughter surprised her boyfriend with a Brews n “Baahhs” birthday celebration. For an hour they visited with the goats, then they were rewarded with craft beer.
She enjoyed the goats, he enjoyed the beer.
Life is about finding new adventures!
Yes, some people have their birthday on HALLOWEEN!
This is a shout out to my friend, Maura!
Wishing you a special BIRTHDAY this year!
Celebrate the entire week… one day we will travel again!
My daughter and I were out celebrating her birthday recently., which was fun. A birthday celebration does not seem complete without a birthday cake. While we didn’t need a BIG cake, we wanted a slice of cake, something decadent… where to go? Aha, we decided on “Sprinkles.” She loves the coconut cupcakes and so do I, so off we went.
As she was placing her order, I happened to see that they had an ATM cupcake vending machine outside. You can see photo, that’s how the machine looks in the early evening, all lit up. I remember hearing about the ATM cupcake machines a few years ago, and thought it was a fad that would die out, but it’s still going – 24 hour service. That means if we have a late night craving for a cupcake, a decadent one, we can fulfill our sweet tooth’s desire.
Sprinkles has strategic locations throughout the U.S. (San Francisco Bay Area, Beverly Hills, New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, Nashville, Dallas to name a few). The cupcakes are very big, a bit expensive, but remember you are treating yourself.
In January they are serving “Breakfast Cupcakes,” now that will give you a sugar high. If you live near a Sprinkles, I would suggest joining their reward program, you’ll get a FREE cupcake on your birthday!
So – HAPPY BIRTHDAY to January birthdays!
Treat yourself! Start the year off right with a Sprinkles cupcake!
This post is in celebration of my College roommate’s Halloween Birthday!
Good news – I didn’t forget this year! I know, some of you are thinking, “HOW do you forget someone’s birthday if it falls on Halloween?” Not sure, but it’s happened.
Maura — You were always a jokester in College. I can see you dressing up and stopping by my place, honking the horn, and saying, “Let’s get this party started! It’s MY birthday!”
Look, you are even in GREEN for the “Luck of the Irish!”
Happy Birthday to YOU… and everyone else whose birthday is today!
Time for a road trip to ND – GO IRISH!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Brilliant Viewpoint
