Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I love the last costume in this post: [link]
Which reminds me, saw a few costumes at my market. The one that had everyone double taking was the dude in a nun's habit. Because he was wearing a coat, your eyes would drift past the brain goes wait, what? Dude in a wimple!
Just had a little girl in an awesome samurai costume(!?)
I wish I had candy. Almost enough to make me wish I could go trick-or-treating.
I don't recall if it was someone here or elsewhere, but I passed along one of the easiest costumes to CJ. He came to the market with me in jammies, a robe, and a towel over his shoulder. We saw a few other costumes, but I had kinda expected more.
He also carved a very nice pumpkin all on his own. I need to figure a place to display it now. We don't expect any Trick or Treaters and we don't have any candy anyway.
Trick or Treating is officially over. We have way too much candy left over. We'll leave the pumpkins lighted tonight.
I'm drinking a beer and watching football.
It may not be officially over here, but I'm out of candy. And I had a shitload of candy. I bought enough to fill a tub this size 3/4 full: [link]
The first year here, when I discovered that we don't get Trick or Treaters, I was disappointed. Now, I actually appreciate it - we can't turn off our porch light. That is part of the complex lighting and it stays on all night.
We've had about 120 so far, and are mostly done I think. Started very slow, not much at all until 7pm (it didn't get dark until then) and then big bunches. The kids are more interested in the silly bands they got than candy! Hope we can get them to bed soon - wakeup time is 6:45 for school at 7:35.
I've never lived anywhere (as an adult on my own) that we had trick-or-treaters.
I'm afraid we're looking at best a delay. Grr.
