Halloween 2007 was the bee’s knees, the cat’s meow, the… the… [insert superlative here]…

It started off with the Breakfast of Champions, a diet-smashing fundraiser at work for The United Way — a bake sale.

Coffee cake, three decorated cookies, and French toast with maple syrup! The mouse truffle was the pièce de résistance! My body went into sugar shock by 10:00.

Bake sales at work are (pun alert!) DEADLY.

Saw some interesting Halloween costumes today, starting with a pumpkin head wearing a black cape walking down the street this morning. It was a real hollowed-out pumpkin, too! Then there were the rather large furry creatures on the subway:

The panda even did a little pole dance. You know, as pandas do.

There was some major geeking out at the Eaton Centre Apple store, too. We shamelessly monopolized the attention of an Apple store employee until his shift was over. But oh boy, I should’ve known better than to go in there and play with the new iPod Touch. I couldn’t stop touching it! Although, come to think of it, the Apple staff are probably accustomed to wiping drool off the devices.

But to my utter jaw-dropping surprise, I became the proud owner of my very own iPod Touch, thanks to the generosity of the Mac addict who introduced me to this brand in the first place… you know who you are! I am ever so grateful, because now I can wi-fi my way around the world without having to drag my PowerBook through airport security and squeeze it onto tiny airline food trays while the person in front of me reclines into my face.

It’s the perfect travel companion!!
