It took me two hours to get home. A clusterfuck so perfectly designed to keep a poor sick person from her couch you'd think I was cursed. But I am here with my gatorade and lonely candy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
buy 40 lbs of candy and get through it all
Dude. And I thought the houses were the reason we couldn't afford to live in your 'hood.
Oh! I forgot! So cute! Our one group ended up being (I assume, at this point) the only ones we got, but the wee witch, who was blonde and freckled and six-ish and not in the least scary, scrunched up her face at me and said "Hey, I know you!" Waving to the kids who are waiting for the school bus has its rewards.

Well, you know the only thing to do with lonely candy - put it out of its misery. Unless you're that kind of sick that doesn't want candy. I hate that kind of sick.

At lunch today I was treated to the sight of two women in witch costumes passing each other from opposite directions on 2nd Street. And a scraggly barechested guy in a homemade cape and helmet, though I'm not sure he was so much observing Halloween.

What is even happening?
Ben and Chris's friend came by with a friend who dressed as an atomic wedgie. He even had ginormous undies that came up over the back of his head, and a padded fake backside peeking out the bottom back. HYSTERICAL. Ben's friend was a headless horseman. Chris's friend (a girl, whom he's going to marry) came as a really cute witch that would have made Willow lay off her anti-witch-costume screed.
We've also had a sumo wrestler.

On a dark stretch between houses, Casper said, "We are lost in the middle of the darkness" and sat down on someone's steps. She got 54 pieces of candy (and has eaten two, per my ruling; then we moved on to popcorn). They did our block, then one block of the big street, then the next side-street block.

One group of kids. Hubby is appeased but not content. There are several herdlets of candy scavengers still prowling the neighborhood.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need something to do. Someone should tell me that it shouldn't be shoe shopping.

Turns out, my complex put on a parade of kids in costume and residents signed up to be designated candy givers for the route (I guess the notices were up when I was out of town.) Of course, it was at 4 pm, so I would've totally missed it anyway. But a nice plan, anyway. The new managers are certainly trying.
