The Big Day
Halloween, I mean. But also… the election. I’m challenging myself not to talk about the election again here until next week. I was doing pretty well, but now every time I think about it my stomach clenches with anxiety. I know other people are feeling the same way, so the last thing you need is me reminding you to worry. So let’s talk about Halloween! Do you dress up? I love Halloween, but I never dress up. There would be nowhere for me to wear a costume- I can’t wear one to work, and I’m not going to a party. I have been wearing my Halloween t-shirt though: And I’ve been sporting my “spooky” hair clip. My daughter says claw clips are for old people. So be it. My daughter will be going to a Halloween party, and I’ll stay home and give out candy. My trick-or-treating days are long over, and I don’t miss it. Well… maybe a little. This year, my daughter is dressing up as a character from a… game (I think?) and her costume is a black wig, white shirt, and black pants. Apparently her friend is going as a partner character, and the two of them will make sense together. Whatever! I miss these days: We also don’t carve pumpkin anymore, and I do NOT miss that! I never really enjoyed it. I think these were the last ones we carved: In addition to Halloween, we have a busy week and I’m all for it! My daughter has an audition, another social event, a pep band rehearsal and we have a home football game. Bring it on! It’s the start of our super busy season, and I love it. Are you doing anything for Halloween? Do you like dressing up? Do you carve pumpkins?
