Halloweenie

I LOVE Halloween! It is definitely my favorite holiday of all time. I've dressed up as a many thing in my life (and I'm proud to say I may be one of the 8 women in the world that does not use Halloween as an excuse to strut my sexy self - I don't need a reason, duh) 3 years ago, I was Marylin Monroe a la beautiful white dress. 2 years ago I was a Egyptian Goddess. And last year, with my protruding belly, I went as a troll (remember the ones from when we were kids that had the funky colored hair and the jewel in their bellybutton. Yep, that was definitely me last year, complete with heart jewel over my bare belly).

This year, I am missing out on all of the fun of dressing up and it's making me more and more depressed the closer it gets to the big day. E and I have plans to stay home and watch scary movies Saturday night (and I may or may not get my fix and wear fairy wings while sitting on the couch).

Someone asks me today "Why do you like Halloween so much?"

.....
Because it's the only holiday that has not been engulfed in family drama (what day should we get together, whose house should it be at, are we getting presents)
Because you get to dress up as something completely crazy and it's fine with the world
Because carving pumpkins is the most disgusting, gooey, hard working fun I've ever had
Because no one else really seems to enjoy Halloween a ton
Because it's the only holiday that seems appropriately displayed in department stores (October 1-October 31st - Not July 8-Oct 31, *sigh, Christmas*
Because I like it (and why isn't that a good enough reason?)

Oh, and by the way... Chloe's costume. An octopus. Probably the most adorable 8 legged thing EVER!

Happy Halloween
Hugs!
