Pirates, Periods, and Petticoats...

Halloween is my favorite holiday... but I'm not really in the mood for it this year. There really wasn't much of a fall, which is my favorite season... we went from BEAUTIFUL summer-like September days right into wet and cold, and then yesterday it snowed. It just plain SMELLS wrong for this time of year. Where are the cool, brisk days with the leaves crunching under your feet? This year everything is soggy and has that pre-mildew odor. I can see the sun through the window today... maybe I should go outside and see it.

Maybe I am just PMS-sy... Me and Ron will usually decorate the front of the house the day or so before Halloween (Um... that would be today as I sit here in my bathrobe and type this...) but he is sick and I have hormones kickboxing in my head and I just don't feel like doing much of anything today. Often friends will stop by on Halloween night... I think this year will be a little quieter... I will at least answer the door in costume though, and maybe walk around taking pictures of local kids. I will also have the garden hose ready to soak anyone even thinking of raising an egg laden arm in the direction of the hearse. You have been warned.

I intend on being a Pirate Queen for work tomorrow, but was also considering being Darth Vader... but I can't see a computer screen in the mask. Can you imagine me telling someone they have a late charge on their library card with a Darth Vader voice changer? Heh, heh... I have to did out all of my costume stuff today and try stuff on... Dear Goddess, PLEASE don't let me get Ron's cold or whatever the hell he's got and my period at the same time... and not tomorrow either, I don't really want to deal with bathroom neccesesities in petticoats.

If anyone is free on Wednesday, you might consider going to the Day of The Dead Celebration at The Forest Hills Cemetery. I have to work and go to a doctors appointment that I have waited 3 months for, but I wish I could go! I hope someone can go so they can tell me about it.
