I'm excited!

My ruby slippers came in the mail today!
I've been gathering various pieces of my Halloween costume for a month now. I'm going to be Dorothy.
Everyone says that I'm going about this way too early, but I can't help it, I love Halloween. Ask my dentist why.

Hopefully this year will be a lot better than last year's Pirate fiasco. As it turns out, being a "pirate-maiden" is not as fun as it sounds. Also, trekking for hours through a neighborhood where the old man on the corner's boiled peanuts in styrofoam cups are the hit of the night while your fake hoop earrings keep falling out and your eyesight is severely impaired by an eyepatch--not so wonderful.

This year, I'm thinking I'll skip trick-or-treating (though I love it dearly) and spend Halloween at work, passing out candy to the kids. Wow, I know, sounds exciting, huh? But we have a costume contest and everything so it'll be fun to see everyone dressed up. PLUS, if I sit outside the store giving out candy, I won't have to work! Sounds like a plan.

Besides, last year I got some really weird looks. Apparently, 19 is a little old to be trick-or-treating. Who knew?
