We had six clumps of kids. The best costumes were a family of vampire - Mom, Dad and two kids - standard capes and fangs, decent quality black wigs, and really good makeup to give them convincingly pale skin. Except for infant in Dads arms who was dressed as a lil Devil instead.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
What you didn't realize was the baby was the only one actually in a costume.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We had only one group of Torters, but there were a lot of them. Our neighbor's two kids had the best costumes. The five year old boy was R2D2 and his two year old little sister was C3PO. Nothing cuter than a gleefully giggling tiny girl beaming at you through the hole in a robot costume.
The DH is away in Vegas at a car show and I am slumming and watching Dancing With the Stars. It's a Halloween-themed show, with lots of cheesy costumes and melodramatic numbers. I'm loving it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My head hurts and I'm about to reach for the muscle relaxants.
I am glad I live somewhere where torters are unlikely. Also, I have no candy, and have never given any out. It's a tradition I manage to completely forget.
I smell of my assistant. It's distracting and weird.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My neck hurts, and I'm cold. Muscle relaxants sound good.

I have applied for the job I really want. ::crosses fingers::
And I only ate 4 tiny pieces of Halloween candy this evening, despite much provocation (see above re: job application). But it's too late to sit up and watch VM; I have to pack for a site visit tomorrow and go to bed.
Bah, my life is boring.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Birthday, Ginger!!!
Can someone draft a memo to my children about Daylight Savings Time, please? Remind them that they are supposed to sleep an hour later. Ta, ever so.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Happy Birthday, Ginger!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Good luck, 'Suela! I hope you get the job.
Am I going to give it another shot? Or will that just make me hate myself more?
You TOTALLY need to give it a shot! The first episode was way better than anything in season three was. And I dropped season three like last year's underpants. But now? With omg so ripped and HAWT Ryan, and eco-feminist Summer, etc etc, I am so right there. I think it's going to be a good season. Please let not this optimism bute me in the ass.
Now I really want to watch House.
