In past years I've held a Halloween party at my house for friends to com over and eat yummy treats and watch a Halloween themed movie, and just enjoy eachothers' company. However this year, I'm working on actual Halloween, and then between work, school, and Peter being home (yay) for a few days, a party just wasn't going to happen this year.

So I didn't go out and buy a costume this year, which is a little sad since I LOVE costume shopping. I was feeling a little bummed about my lack of Halloweeniness this year, but last night I carved a couple of pumpkins, and it made me feel a little bit more Halloweeny.
I carved a real pumpkin and a fake pumpkin. I'm actually slightly allergic to pumpkin, and touching raw pumpkin for a prolonged amount of time can lead to a painful burning feeling on my hands, so my Mom lovingly hallowed out my pumpkin for me. I'm wearing my Halloween socks, and I'll change into an old costume before heading to work, so Halloween is still slightly alive. Hooray! Maybe after work if I'm not too tired, I'll watch Nightmare Before Christmas or some other Tim Burton movie -I've never seen Frankenweenie, so maybe that (maybe I shouldn't since I have work early the next morning, but psshhh, sleep is for the dead).

I kind of miss Halloween when we were kids and how your costume was a super big deal, and you'd have a Halloween party at school, and do Halloween themed things for weeks before Halloween actually came. I suppose one Halloween themed thing I've done this month is turn my house into a haunted house complete with Zombies and a Ghost (my dad was walking around the house moaning like a ghost for weeks -it was really annoying).
Anyway, I'm not really sure what else to say, this entire post feels far less coherent than one of my normal posts, I mean, I don't normally have a proper narrative in my posts, but this can't even be described as following a train of thought, it's just sort of madness, so HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Also, it's only 55 more days until Christmas! (I don't have a problem, I swear).
I didn't dress up this year (I usually don't anyway) but I wore black and orange and painted my nails with black and orange designs :) I think it counts for something. Oh yeah also I went to a friend's house and then realized the buses stopped running so I got a ride home in the trunk of a smart car!
ReplyDeleteMy moms down in the states right now, she said where she is, Halloween is actually way more of a big deal, like people at work and many adults were actually in full costume. Kinda jealous, since here in New City the only ones who dressed up were some people at uni and otherwise just neighborhood kids.
