After sort-of-accidentally missing church this morning (yep… on Reformation Sunday — I suck as a Lutheran) and lunch with some parishioners, I settled in and turned on some Law & Order while plotting how to massacre some pumpkins.Â? I had two of them from Albertsons that were 20 lbs masomenos and incredibly thick.Â? I found that the most efficient way to do things was to scrape the edge with a large spoon (something I wish I’d known last year) and I managed to make quite an excellent cat-o-lantern and a pumpkin of crosses.Â? (Jesus *IS* the Light of the World and all and I was kind of low on creative energy.)

The cats were going crazy over the pumpkin guts and I think Freya would still like to bathe my arm and get the smell off.Â? Hopefully it won’t be a problem at Carols Round The Table practice…
