Truth

A HUGE fun time here last night. Some incredibly creative costumes….some amusing, some amazing and some both. I love Halloween because it’s just fun with all the glitz, glam, horror and humor, it allows me to stretch my creativity and to just be in the moment of believing the unbelievable…where else can I kiss a woman gladiator ….and I can do/share all that with some meaningful people in my life. Besides it’s the reason pumpkins don’t start to ripen until early october.

Sweet!!!

I have never liked halloween, except when I was very young. Once I was old enough to have to worry about having a "cool" costume and end up being chased by older kids throwing eggs, I would have been happy to skip the whole thing. And I totally lack creativity for coming up with costumes, so going to costume parties as an adult requires too much effort.

I don't think I've ever had trick or treaters come to any place I've lived as an adult, because I've only lived in apartments. One kid came to a house that I rented with friends during our senior year of college, and we had no candy so we gave the kid money (loose change). For years after that I bought a bag of candy just in case but never needed it. Last night I could hear people outside but as usual they only went to the townhouses, not the apartments.

I do have a friend who is really good at coming up with costume ideas and then executes them really well. I'm always impressed to see the photos of his creations.

When we lived in Prairie Village, Kansas two years ago, we lived on a very small horseshoe-shaped street right off a major road with lots of traffic, so I knew we'd only get kids who lived on our street, if any. And there was only one child out of the 12 or so houses on the street, as far as I knew. She was maybe three years old, and I hoped her parents would bring her by. I left the porch light on, but perhaps because we did not do a jack-o-lantern, they did not come to trick-or-treat at the house we were renting from friends. We saw them walk by on the street and go to other houses, so we were kind of surprised, but we really didn't know them, so they were probably only going to houses of neighbors they knew. Needless to say, the candy I'd bought went into the freezer and we had to eat it!

Hope the rain continues!
I went to a new class at the gym, this morning. It's basically a group weight lifting class, with some core/body work, too. It was hard, but exactly what I need. Best thing, it's at 8:15, not 5:45, and i still have time to get to work by 10.
I am going to feel this tomorrow.
