What did you do today?

My favorite holiday is coming up fast! I love Halloween!
My costume is a surprise... some of you know what I am going to be so please don't spill the beans. I'll post pictures of course!

This years getup is quite a departure for me. No historical accuracy, no corsets, no frippery. This year is all about silly fun and nerdiness. I have been painting accessories and putting my hair through a dry run. I am wearing a mask this year and I have to figure out how to get all of my hair under it. Anyone care to guess? Hee-hee!

In other news, I spent this afternoon on a rather odd errand. Someone in California who I've never met asked me to find a certain grave in Boston and collect a soil sample for them. I haven't been lurking in a cemetery in a long time and today was a beautiful day for it. If I didn't have so much to do at home I would have stayed there much longer. The leaves all over the stones were beautiful and it was good to be outside.

Of course, I am delaying the real work I must get done by tinkering with my Halloween costume... I should be balancing the checkbook or editing photos. I can't really sit still right now though, which is a shame because I cut my cemetery visit short to come home and work on stuff.

*sigh*

And I have class all day tomorrow and a family dinner that could prove to be... oh SHIT! I totally forgot I was supposed to make my mom a birthday card today!

Oh crappity-crap-crap!

bye!
