Last minute Halloween To-Do's

My last minute Halloween To-Do's include:

  • Buy a pair of matching pants and long-sleeved shirt for my son, Evan's, doggy costume
  • Buy a pumpkin
  • Carve said pumpkin with the boys
  • Make some tasty pumpkin salted seeds in the oven
  • Clean house for our Halloween "Open House" (trying to sell our house, still)
  • Stamp some cute Halloween cards for family

Evan's Joke...

Evan: Knock. Knock.

Me: Who's there?

Evan: Banana

Me: Banana who?

Evan: Why did the man throw the pie out the window?

Me: I don't know. Why?

Evan: Because he wanted to see the caterpillar!

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Car wrong-way on I-95

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Car wrong-way on I-95

What's on my bedside table

"More Than A Pink Cadillac: Mary Kay Inc.'s 9 Leadership Keys to Success" by Jim Underwood.

Good book so far.

I decided to start reading this book after I went to my first Mary Kay party at my friend's house last weekend. I was really impressed with the quality of the products and read a little bit about Mary Kay Ash's story in the information that the Independent Beauty Consultant provided during the party.

From what I have read thus far about Mary Kay Ash I am very impressed. She was able to build an empire and keep her integrity at the same time. How many CEO's could you say that about today?

She seemed to genuinely care for the welfare of women and wanted to see them succeed.

If I want to be successful in business (which I do), then I wouldn't do too bad than to emulate this strong woman.

Book Lover

As you may know...I love me some books!

So you tell me...What is your favorite book and why?

I'm looking to branch out from my current fare of financial, non-fiction reads!
