We also don't have to stay up late to watch Monday Night football.

Dude, I can't tell you how many times I've thought of this with envy. Not to mention, on college football Saturdays, games for you all start at 9am and finish up at a reasonable hour. Then you've got NFL cranking up on Sundays at 10am! This alone is almost enough for me to consider the cross-country move...I'm as much of a football fanatic as a Halloween fanatic. Fall is just so amazing, really ties all my passions together.

Are you from San Diego originally? I've been once. Stayed on Coronado Island and just loved the entire area (as everyone always does).

I saw the small recipe book by Pillsbury at the checkout at the grocery store yesterday. You know the one. It is the one that has all recipes for spider and ghost treats and cakes. I didn't buy it as I don't bake because I don't need that stuff around.

Nah, Ohio originally. Which is why I remember the pain of having to go to school or work the next day after Monday Night Football.

I gotcha. Small world, my brother lives in Columbus.

I saw that one as well as one the same size from Gooseberry. I presume Gooseberry will also be releasing a bigger one.

Did you buy it though or plan to?

I've seen some stuff at Michael's, but I remember them having more out sooner last year. Hobby Lobby had about two full aisles and some center displays of Halloween then five or six of Christmas.

However, I did go to this little gift shop that already had out the Dept. 56 Halloween stuff (or they left it out all year, I'm not sure) and found some cool pieces. My first Halloween of the season.

I like the crows!

They're one of my favorite Halloween ( actually, year round) symbols.

Nice grab Scarecrow. If only the Dept 56 stuff weren't so expensive I'd have the whole collection.

Went to Michael's last night and Halloween decor's already on the shelves!

I bought them both, but I haven't yet dug out my similar books from former years to see if they are repetitious. I mean, they are both dated for this season, but lots of those Halloween snacks look similar, you know?

On the plus side, my husband looked through one of them and said he'd like to make a chili recipe he saw. One thing I love about all those books is that they have harvest recipes, too.
