The last few years, my boys have gone to Halloween parties with their friends leaving me home alone to hand out Halloween candy. Although I have enjoyed seeing the neighborhood kids in Halloween costumes, after 27 years of handing out Halloween candy, my Halloween enthusiasm has dimmed.
So this year, my husband and I decided to go a movie and dinner. Kyle loved it because there weren’t the normal Saturday night crowds to fight. The movie theatre was only 1/3 full even though it was the movie, “This is It”, a culmination of film clips that shows the behind scenes as MJ prepares for his world tour. We really enjoyed it, and highly recommend seeing it.
When we walked into Chili’s, there was no line and we were seated immediately. They had this great deal, two dinners for $20 just like Applebee’s. We were happy about that because we like Chili’s better. We shared an appetizer of chips and salsa. I had ½ rack of ribs with loaded mashed potatoes (both were excellent); Kyle had a smoked turkey sandwich with fries. We shared a “sweet shots” dessert of key lime pie, hot cinnamon roll, and red velvet cake, the cinnamon roll was our favorite. A great deal for $20!
It was a nice change after handing out Halloween candy for 27 years!

Thanks!
What a great idea! I look forward to the day when I can retire from Halloween… it’s my least favorite holiday!
Me too!
