I woke up and realized that I needed to dress up for the Halloween parade at school this morning. So, I'm going as someone who just woke up. Purple robe, fuzzy leopard slippers borrowed from my dear daughter, green mud mask, and
curlers strewn in my hair by my supportive children.
Life is good.
Happy Halloween!

A disturbing number of our restaurant staff were dressed that way.
On the downside, the front desk were told NOT to wear costumes today. The college's football team is spending the night in the hotel, and we don't want to distract them any. Right. But, since I work after their curfew, that rule can go hang.

You honestly think you're going to get the football players in their room before curfew the night before this game? Or is that why they're staying in the hotel? So the coaches can make sure they're not off partying?
I learned a very important lesson this morning. If you're going to temporarily dye your hair, you should:
(1) Start out with light-colored hair.
(2) Buy a whole lot of Kool-Aid.

Today I'm dressed up as the scariest thing that I can think of -- a nurse. Borrowed my wife's scrubs, her spare stethescope (sp?), and she has these freaky pens that look like syringes with fluid in them. I'm supposed to stop by her office later this morning and pick up some other things that will make the outfit better look the part. |

I like! I think I've seen you wear all that before too.
Someone came around and took my picture today. As soon as I get a copy I'll post it. But my costume didn't turn out very well. I went for something sweet and our bathroom now looks like something out of Psycho. And I smell like fruit punch. And, my hair isn't very red at all.
I'm also missing a few patches to do an effective Pippi Longstocking. But hey, it'll do.

Who knew Eris was such a youngster?! Not fair when they're young and smart! Smarts are supposed to come with age.
Wormie- who has officially reached the age where she's smart, but can't remember anything that she's learned.  |

Bah, humbug. I hate the whole costume thing. My contribution to Halloween is a licorice scented candle.

We can't dress up here. It's "agin" The Sal's religious beliefs and that of many of our foster parents and bio parents.

To pass out candy tonight, I will be wearing my junior prom dress (it's white and has that translucent, iridescent fabric that was such the rage in the late 80s) and some fairy wings lent by a friend. I have a wand to top off my outfit and I plan to put my hair up with a sparkly barrette. My official name is "Glenda, the Good Witch of the North." (Of course, around West Point, I've increasingly become known as the "Angel of Death" because I'm not afraid to fail papers.)

He didn't have the guts!

Er, I didn't dress up this morning. I was goign to go all Indiana Jones. It is close to my normal dressing anyhow. Throw in a whip and a shouldter-strap map case and voila.
But I'm going to the doctor's office today and I didn't want to show up in costume.
