Happy Halloween!
Oct. 31st, 2011 09:17 amThank you to evalentine99 for the lovely spider! (Ida also thanks you for the delicious snack!) And thanks also to toshiani007 for the Evil Pumpkin. (Teddy is hiding in the bathtub after seeing it - he is a real scaredy cat!)
I went to two Halloween parties this weekend. I'm not much for the dressing up stuff, but I did manage to pull something together. I wore all white (with a dash of pink camisole) and added huge pink and white bunny ears, a pink and white bow tie (cause bow ties are cool) a little fluffy white tail and a wicker basket filled with Halloween candy. I was the Easter bunny.
I baked Grandma Ida's world famous butter cookies earlier in the week to take to the parties and to work today. It's quite a challenge with Teddy around. He did stay off the kitchen counters, I let him lick the wrappers the butter came in and we played with the laser pen to keep him distracted. And he did get a bit of the one cookie that got dropped on the floor.
Anyway, I'm back at work this morning and I've discovered something more frightening than an X-rated version of a Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz costume. I AM OLD. YES, ITS OFFICIAL, I AM OLD.
How do I know this? You know you are old when:

How do I know this? You know you are old when:
- you are arriving home exhausted from your Halloween party and the 20 year olds are just leaving for theirs
- the only hangover you have is from too much sugar, because you pickled your liver years ago
