Time got away from me today.
I was out pounding the pavement all day selling advertising, and then we were supposed to carve pumpkins tonight.
We carve them on the dining room table which was covered with about nineteen loads of laundry, so I had to take care of that when I got home.
And then, once I got all the laundry folded and the table cleared off, I realized I totally forgot to look for all the pumpkin carving stuff.
So I wasted about 40 minutes trying to find it.
I never did.
But with only one of those safety carving knives and some help from my parents, I did manage to get eight pumpkins scraped and carved.
So if you haven’t carved yours yet, here’s my tip of the day:
Cut the hole in the bottom of the pumpkin.
All you have to do is plop the carved jack-o-lantern on top of the candle and the stems stay intact.
Now, any wagers on what time tomorrow I will inadvertently discover all my carving stuff now that I’m all done?

Nope. I still haven’t found them. But I know they’ll turn up somewhere when I have no need for them.
