It's Friday, and a lovely, cool, autumn day here in my part of the world. Charlie wore a new pair of long trousers, some sort of cargo thing with lots of pockets and, for some reason, some clip thing on a long piece of material clipped to the belt buckle. I'm mentioning this because Charlie is kind of skinny and it is freaking impossible to find pants that fit him. He's too tall for size 7, and too skinny for 8 regulars, and 8 slims are really hard to find, so it was only the addition of a belt that kept him from going for that whole 'gangsta, my undies are showing' look. But he looked cute.

We went to "The Pop Shop" again last night for ice cream. Charlie got a Root Beer Float and I had a Chocolate Malted milkshake that was so good it was practically orgasmic. Seriously. Had a nice chat with the owner woman, who recognized Charlie and me, and mentioned how we're 'regulars' already. Saw elfmanfan doing her 'soda jerk' thing, and doing it quite well. So go her.

Speaking of elfmanfan I'm sending her 'break a leg' vibes as she is auditioning for the school play today.

In other news, She who is awesome, aka carlanime sent me so winegum candies and a box of Smarties! (yum, yum, yum!) Charlie loved the winegum things. Kept sneaking pieces when I wasn't looking. The Smarties are all mine, though.

Tomorrow my town is holding its Third Annual Book Festival. Am looking forward to it. Got to love a town that has a festival just for books, right?

Oh, and I'm getting my hair cut. Finally. Hurrah.

Ewww. Ketchup flavored? Bet my Charlie would like them but me...not so much.

They don't really taste like ketchup to me.

They just taste sweet. Savoury-sweet, not sweet-sweet.
