Halloween is not my day. I have never liked it. Even as a kid. I remember going trick-or-treating only because my friends were going & I have this annoying sweet tooth. I would never even ring the doorbell. It's just not for me.
And I have never had a successful Halloween. Until yesterday. I had five nice things happen.................some little, some big--all nice!
A student in my first class remembered (somehow) that I like smarties candy, so she brought me a handful. I won a swarovski ipod nano (that I pick up today) and got the call yesterday afternoon. A student who loves to bake kept telling me she'd bake me something & brought in an angelfood cake on the last night of classes. Eight students asked to take a class with me again, two shook my hands, and one woman gave me a hug.
Finally, Code Girl and I went out after class to celebrate. We went to this really cute italian restaurant & had good pasta & drinks & conversation. When the check came, she grabbed it & paid. I protested a lot, but was afraid to insult her, so I had to let it go. She did not have to do that, and it was beyond sweet of her to do so.
All in all, my Halloween was spooktacular!
