Happy Halloween

I wish there were a way to transform Halloween into a big dress-up party sans devils, witches, skeletons, as well as all of the pagan, spiritual activity that occurs. Dressing up is fun, eating candy is fun, holidays are fun. I guess I mostly just think we should have costume parties more often--just like there should be more ballroom dancing...or any kind of non-suggestive dancing, for that matter.

I love dressing up, and I love dancing. I wish I lived in an era that held masquerades.

Update

I apologize for not writing much lately. I have been trying to minimize my computer time in hopes that this might help my head and eye aches.

Let's see, major points:

• The elimination diet did not appear to shed light on anything, except that I've decided to limit my soy intake since it apparently reduces thyroid function.
• I am on a new thyroid medication, Armour Thyroid, which is made from pig thyroids. I go for a follow-up appointment in a couple weeks to see how the addition is going. I suspect I am now over-medicated since I have been feeling shaky (sign of hyperthyroidism), and yet I am still fatigued and sleeping fine, so maybe not.
• I am so tired of headaches that whenever I think about it, I feel like either screaming or crying. I occasionally do the latter and, now that I think about, have never done the former. I'm not much of a screamer--only on roller coasters, I think.
• I took a career test the other day and my top results were administrative/clerical and entrepreneur. Perhaps if I had known myself better in high school I would have majored in business in college. Or perhaps not. (shrug)
  

Mmk, need to get off the computer. I wish you, my readers, a delightful and wondrous day.

Do you say "toward" or "towards"?

And isn't this such a funny word when you look at it closely?

Yes, these are the things that amuse me.

P.S.
For anyone who is suddenly alarmed that they are not sure of the difference or if they have been improperly using the word, according to the discussion on this blog, it is merely a matter of preference.
