I love Halloween. It's usually one of my favorite holidays, but this year I'm having a hard time "feeling" it. This year, it's on a Saturday, and while that would normally be cause for extra goofing off, there seems to be less to do this year. Boring. As. All.
As I told my friend Tim, we're too old to go trick-or-treating, TPing, or wild parties, but too young to not do anything at all. He said that most people our age were taking their kids out. Well, phooey on them. They'd rather be partying too, I imagine.
Parents didn't really "take kids out" when I was a kid. We dressed up and went out on our own. We had fun and got candy while the older kids tried to take our candy and scare us. I had some good costumes as a kid and some lame ones. I remember doing Dewey Duck one year. And a witch another year. And of course, I had those stupid costumes that had plastic tie-arounds and masks that had tiny holes. Jeez, those were a piece of work.
Since I was unable to find anything better, Andrew and I are going to my grandparents' neighbor's party. It's just a garage party, and I really don't know a lot about it. But I'm excited to at least do something.
One thing I like is seeing how others dress. I love costumes. Kids costumes are so fun too. And it's great how kids can get so creative.
And tomorrow... oh, yes... tomorrow, I will go after-Halloween shopping! Woot!
