Your Halloween Costume Should Be


A Girl Scout

Mmmm…no.

Assuming we actually get to do something for Halloween this year (Mike and I will be in NY for Jamie’s wedding reception that weekend), I’ll be dressing up as a French maid. Liam’s gonna be a baby bat. Mike started on his wings today, they look good so far. As for Mike? Not sure yet, but I’m trying to talk him into being Dracula. Baby bat and Dracula, kind of cute, don’t ya think?

It’s been a long week and I’m all behind like a cows tail. Fall has always been my season for re-order and organization. (I never was able to get into spring cleaning). I was hoping to have a garage sale this weekend but I wasn’t able to get all my closets sorted out in time so I think it’ll have to wait until we get back from New York. November isn’t really the best time for garage sales but oh well, hopefully I can make enough money to cover some of our xmas gifts this year.

Things just got too busy this week. On a friends request, I spent all day Wednesday playing volleyball for a United Way fundraiser. I used to play volleyball in high school. I’ve always loved playing volleyball. It’s a great sport, nothing like pounding on a leather ball to relieve stress. But after six hours of playing my body is so bruised and battered. It’s been three days and I’m still sore and exhausted.

I know that we haven’t even gotten to Halloween yet but Mike is already asking me what I want for xmas. I really don’t know. I mean, there are plenty of things I want but they’re just not really appropriate for gift giving or far to expensive. I was thinking about asking for a camera. I bought Mike an eight hundred dollar camera just before Liam was born but its kind of too complicated for an unprofessional photography person like me. It would be neat to have a simple point and shoot camera but something with snazzy features (like Cindy’s…sweet, I need to get those eye pictures from you, they are so awesome!). I asked him for an iPhone but he just laughed hysterically in my face so, don’t think that’ll happen. Then I told him I wanted a loofah. I took a shower at my parents house the other day and they have loofah’s. I used to have loofah’s too before marriage/parenthood yanked me out of my oil brat dreamworld and required me to be a more frugal spender. Now I just can’t justify spending ninety cents on an item that doesn’t really do anything different from a regular wash cloth. So, seriously. A loofah would be a great gift. Would make a nice stocking stuffer.
