happy halloween!

it's 11:53 am and i just had my first trick-or-treaters. i knew they were going to start coming early; a bunch of friends refused to believe that they come before it gets dark. why waste all of that candy-getting time? if halloween landed on a weekend back in the days where i could still get away with trick or treating, i would be out by noon as well

last night denise and i went to my friend danielle's halloween party as elmo (me) and katy perry (if you don't get it google the "scandal").

we made some spooky treats including witches fingers (success) and spider brownies (epic fail):

 now that the worst of school is over for a few weeks (can't speak for denise), hopefully we can start making some holiday boxes. it's kind of frustrating to keep making though when no one is buying, however. but i guess we'll keep trying..

i want this dog SO bad. so bad that i actually just used capitols in my blog.

 his name is panda, and he is currently located at the town of hempstead animal shelter. not to be confused with the town of north hempstead animal shelter, where i work. denise and i met him at the lido beach festival by the sea last week and i've been thinking about him every single day since then. the town of hempstead shelter is packed with animals and unfortunately their days are numbered there. i wish they would adopt a volunteer program like we have to help with getting dogs adopted- dogs have a much brighter future at our shelter. 

 check out our volunteers' website

unfortunately i know what i could handle and my family definitely does not have time for another dog right now. the most i can do is hope this guy finds a home :(

my mother bought a box from us today. is it sad that she is probably my best customer? i guess not as long as they are getting sold; the box was a new one that had yet to get put up on etsy due to my laziness/ lack of motivation due to lack of sales. i know these things take time, however it has been a few months and we have only had 2 sales to people that we don't know. we actually have sold quite a few to friends and family, however.  i'll stop being a downer. i guess i'm in that kind of mood today.

on top of that, i basically told a guy that i'm into him via email by saying that if he was a lifesaver he would be cherry because that's my favorite flavor. who do i think i am, really?

time for biggest loser, denise just got here. yay!

ttfn,
