Oh my God... HOW IS IT NOVEMBER????? I can't even deal with this year. Obviously, I hope the next four months go by quickly, but at the same time, I feel like time is already whizzing by so quickly that if it goes into even more of a warp mode I'm going to be a dried up old hag tomorrow. (No jokes please, I know I left that one wide open.)
Anyway.
Yesterday WAS Halloween, and I got dressed up and went trick or treating with Pauly D, Obi Wan Kenobi, a Lily Cat, and a VT Lion. It was... pretty cool. There were a few other adults wondering around the shopping center in costume, so I didn't look like a total loon. My favorite family costumes were the Angry Birds (kid was the red one, mom was the blue shotgun one, and dad was the black bomb) and the Wizard of Oz (mom was the Wicked Witch, dad was the Tin Man, kids were Dorothy and the Scarecrow). It was a great time, and as always, I drove home thinking about what I would be next year--I've already got a couple of ideas!
Honestly, I really dislike Halloween in general--I don't like the decorations (Most of them are gross and only loosely Halloween related--a crime scene? Really? Uh, Happy Halloween??), the music is kind of stupid, I don't like opening my door to randos to pass out candy--but it's all worth it in the end, because I LOVE dressing up.
Anyway, another holiday is checked off the list, and I guess I can admit to my blog family that I have been listening to Christmas music since this weekend. I usually wait until November 1st to crank up the holiday tunes, but this year, I decided to give myself a special treat and get started early. I can also admit that I signed up for NaBloPoMo! I haven't done this for a few years, so I'm looking forward to the challenge of posting EVERY BLESSED DAY this month, and hope you won't get too sick of me.
Did you dress up for Halloween? Any other NaBloPoMoers out there?
Yeah...I don't really get Halloweeen either. Though, your Alice costume is durn pretty! Glad you had fun!

Your costume is awesome! Seriously....this year is flying by! I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks so.

How fun! Did you go to the shops over at Mt. P?
I'm also not the biggest fan of Halloween. I dressed up as a ladybug & went downtown with some friends last night but had to be a grandma and leave early because I had to be at work early!
Good luck with writing a blog post every day! I might try it....

SOOOO excited to be reading another person who is doing NaBloPoMo. It's nice to know you aren't alone out there, lol.
I'm also not a fan of Halloween. It is so cute for kids, but besides that I get a bit bored with it. I can't believe you've already started listening to xmas music though. I do love me some christmas music, but I hate how over played it gets.
