Another Halloween has come and gone. 

Because I’m mildly insane about holidays and celebrating them to the fullest extent the day will allow, I feel complete in my soul when said holiday goes well.

In this case Halloween was a great success!  Especially with it’s rocky, ambivalent start.

Did The Punk have fun?  Check!

Did he get enough candy to last him until at least Valentine’s Day?  Check!

Were our Pumpkins amazing and did a ton of people comment on how cool they were?  CHECK!

Especially my mother’s art… er I mean her Jack O’ Lantern?  Check!

Did I have any fun?  Check!  Check!  and CHECK!

Shelly and I went out to our favorite holiday hang out (OK not really but we were there for New Year’s too, ergo, now our favorite holiday hangout.  Sorry Shelly… it’s true) for some great music and even better costume watching.

This couple was interesting.  When I asked “Hell Boy” if his dead Indian friend was in his movie (sadly Hellboy has never made it into my Netflix queue) he said, “No, she just likes to dress up as dead things.  Last night she was a dead Chef.”  Alrighty, then.  Good to know.

This guy made me pee my pants with fright. 

Since my therapist says you should always confront your fears, I asked in my biggest brave girl voice, “Um, will you take a picture with me Mr. Fucking Scary Clown Insane Guy?”  His grunt meant yes.  And then I fell in love and asked him to be my boyfriend for ever and ever.  But Mom, I LOVE him!

Of course there was another angel there.

 

But my costume won because not only was I twice her age and wearing more clothes, I had a super special hidden feature to my costume!

I was keeping all the evil Republicans at bay with my wand and blessing the good that is Obama.

Speaking of which… ONLY ONE DAY left of this never ending campaign!   ONE DAY!!  I’m sick.  I’m nauseous and dizzy. (and no, it’s not the extended hangover..)  I’m also excited and hopeful.

But mostly sick.

I hope everyone else had a great Halloween and in between sneaking your kid’s candy, if you haven’t already, make sure you take time to cast your vote on Tuesday.
