I’m “hey-ing” all the way from LA. And if you need to know why I’m here, I’ll tell you.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing to hide.<\/p>\n

I’ve joined the Husband on his business trip. So, I’m all cooped up in the hotel room, away from my kitchen and daily chores.<\/p>\n

Yeehaw!!<\/p>\n

No cooking and cleaning for 2 weeks! In my world, that’s a great deal and is considered as vacation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I hope you had your share of sugary Halloween! There weren’t any trick or treating this year for us. But I did get a shock of my life when I visited our local library a few days ago to return some books and DVD.<\/p>\n

The librarian at our local library made an effort to scare the eff out of people on Halloween — including me — who has a weak heart and was so engrossed in her thoughts, preparing for this trip.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness there weren’t any fainting incident. And this is no exaggeration.<\/p>\n

So, if you ever plan to sneak up on me, just be warned.<\/p>\n

After all the sweets and recovering from being pranked, all I needed to comfort my bruised ego was a huge bowl of hot gingered chickpeas and kale soup.<\/p>\n

Being pranked definitely gives a huge bolt not only to the ego, but to creative juices, which was definitely overflowing.<\/p>\n
