UPDATE!
I can’t believe I actually did it! I didn’t know I could do that. It was a simple copy-and-paste job, not the “add image” trick. Wow, what a serendipitous event. Now, if that works, I can post that pic of the Women’s Party in Breckenridge that Xanga would never accept. Doo-dee-doo, I’m happy!
Aaand… I did it that blog about the women’s party is now properly illustrated.
Dammit! Xanga won’t let me upload the pic of my Jack O’Lantern. I tried something different this year. Usually, I pick out a small, cheap pumpkin and do the same face I’ve been carving since I was a kid: triangular eyes and nose, and a wide, snaggle-toothed grin.
This year, the price was exceptionally low, but almost every pumpkin in the bin was moldy. The only not-moldy punkin I found on top (I would NOT dig down through all that mildew) was a big one, so this year I have carved my biggest Jack O’Lantern ever. At Doug’s request, this one is not the usual scary face. It is a great big animé wai.
Check this out! I found a jewel on Xanga today.
Update 1.0:
Xanga still won’t accept Jack, so go here. (update 1.1: the site might be worth a look, anyhow.)

Damn, sounds like quite a punkin. I’ll kepp checking back for when the Xanga gods are smiling on you again.
We went to a pumpkin patch (about 10 acres) and found the perfect one…I think. heh. I love Halloween.
Rude. We want to seeeeee!
I hope you get that pic uploaded soon cuz I wanna seeeeeeee! (Oh yeah and can I have your pumpkin seeds? ^_^)
This really is a tease post ya know.
Hey there… thanks for stopping by. The thing is, I’m not sure if I’m fluent enough to translate Enya songs for you… but I have found out that her website. http://www.enya.com has the translations for all her songs on it. Have fun, take care, and Happy Halloween!

Yup SHE is a treasure. You’re no slouch urself.
Xanga wouldn’t let me post a pic the other day, but most of mine are sinfull so I understand. lol.. I wanna see this pumpkin.
Hey…. Are you pissed at me for wanting to put some journalists in harms way? They’re worse than lawyers some days. Maybe just a little slap…. Ok Nevermind I’ll leave them alone.
Mebbe there’s a ban on pumkinny pics so they don’t overwhelm the xanga server ? ! Try flipping the pic on its side. Maybe the pumpkin-filter won’t catch it!
Terrific!
that’s evil looking! in the way cuddly is evil, ya know….
Hey it’s Spunky McPumpkin (Golden Arches) !!! LOL

Your blog is always sooo interesting to me.

scary picture! I haven’t gotten a pumpkin in years. Cool site here!
I came by to sit with you for hours..or however long it takes to dive into your story thus far never dreaming you would flatter me by giving me mention in your yummy log. Tender mercies, yellow ribbon and peach tea roses to you.
that is the cutest pumpkin face i have ever seen
Hi, thanks for leaving a comment on my site. I was browsing through your blogs and found it interesting that you have quiet a biography of events. Though I didn’ get through everything, it was nice to read. It’s not often that you see people blogging their entire life. I really enjoyed it and it got me to thinking that perhaps one day when there’s enough to say, I’ll do the same.
Laughing my ass off at NFP’s comment …
And yes you did find a jewel.
Cool pumpkin!
Thats a pretty happy looking punkin!
Cut and paste will work as long as the URL (from the site where you took the picture) doesn’t change…some sites (that get linked to frequently…like smiley graphic sites) change their pages’ URLs so that their servers bandwidth isn’t over taxed…(I apologize for explaining this if you already knew it)…Spot
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Love it….
Wait :-d
Awwws shit… I can’t do a sticky out of the tongue thing. I tried.
