Wow. Just. wow.
Aug. 26th, 2009 10:13 pmHere is when you know you live in a small town... when a discussion about what to include in Halloween treat bags derails because various members of the committee suddenly decide that the parade route (which has already been submitted to, and approved by, the Borough Council) isn't LONG ENOUGH. So you spend the next hour drawing and redrawing maps of town trying to decide where the parade should start FROM, and where it should go TO. OMFG.
I glazed out somewhere in the middle and decided it didn't really matter to me what the parade route was. So I just let the battle rage around me!
I'm trying to think what we DID get decided. It didn't really feel like that much. But I think we decided on juice boxes and donut holes for post parade treats on the Courthouse lawn ... and we're doing 300 treat bags for the kids. We're still discussing what to put IN the bags. We're thinking:
kazoos
stickers
halloween themed pencils
candy
plus whatever we can find that's budget conscious.
what we will not be including from past years ...
a toothbrush.
:P
Last year was a slapdash affair as the people who had been running it were having business difficulties and dumped it off on others at the last minute (rather understandably, actually).
It's good that we have time to plan. Just NOT when we spend three hours on stupidity. And then there was the gossip about the planning for the town Christmas festivities! Also someone heard my endless prattling on about needing a town egg hunt and we're doing that apparently in the Spring in conjunction with the newly created Easter parade. (Can't wait to make a hat for that!! Millinery is my thing!!)
Thankfully, this week's Leverage re-runs at 11 pm so I can catch it then. I was really looking forward to being home by 9 to watch it first run. I've been looking foward to seeing Wil Weaton in this one for a while now.
But on the plus side, I got my Torchwood series two DVDs back. The friends I've hooked on the show were hooked good, and have gone on to watch series three and thought it was "brave." I felt bad for hooking them right before series three aired... but they don't seem to mind!
But enough small town politicking for one night!!
