While I would love to do a "catch up" post....ummmm...not so much. Most things are the same anyway. I just live in a house now. That's been my life since April.
Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. While Tennessee doesn't get cold enough fast enough for me, we are at least now at the point where it is downright chilly in the mornings and I'm no longer sweating halfway through drying my hair. I love the changing of the leaves and even have my kitchen decorated in fall colors (all year round....not just for autumn). And, to me, the "holiday season" started at the beginning of October....Halloween being my favorite holiday! (I am going to ignore the fact that Christmas decorations have been in the stores since Labor Day.....)
(this was last year....it's been too dry for fall color this year...)I am going to get married in October. The year (and the groom) are yet to be determined. If I could find a place on earth where it is fall all year long, I would be on the next plane. You people can have your springs and summers.....fall and winter are my seasons....bring on the cold!!
So tonight will be my first Halloween in my new house. I have no idea what to expect as far as trick or treaters go. I have my super huge bag of Smarties (sorry, I can't afford the good stuff!). I hope we have a moderate amount of kids come down our street.....I do love seeing the little kids dressed up.....though I also hope I don't hear my doorbell ring at 10:30 at night (it has happened to my parents....so I know). Oh, and the teenagers can stay home. If I have to ask you if you are maybe a bit old to be trick or treating, then you are. So, maybe an hour's worth of kids will be good....after that, the novelty will have worn way off....
We are allowed to dress up at work (which is surprising considering some of our dress code rules) Anyhow, about half the people get into it....and that includes your's truly. The last two years I went as a hippie (which was so not a stretch). This year, with Potter-mania, I am Hermione Granger. It was actually easier than I thought....the only stuff I had to buy was the socks and tie! It ended up being the perfect choice because I can totally pull off the Hermione hair (this weekend I'm getting it highlighted, so after that, not so much). And tomorrow I'll already be thinking of what I will be next year....
Jennifer is "barefoot and pregnant" and I am just fat in this outfit....
