Halloween

So we managed to scrape up some respectable costumes and head to a Halloween Party. We did a little bobbing for apples where Derrick got 2nd place. All those days of practicing paid off.



Derrick was Ty Detmer and I was a magic 8 ball. Surprisingly enough, Derrick has never been Ty for Halloween before. Shocking, I know.

Friday afternoon I realized we had not carved a pumpkin NOR had our traditional dinner in a pumpkin. I called Derrick at work, frantic, and asked him where we had gone wrong this year. I was really bummed out! He came home from work early and we carved our pumpkin. No dinner in a pumpkin this year, though. Next year, next year...



So, overall, not a bad Halloween. Except for.....

when I got in the car and turned on the radio, what do I hear?? Christmas music! Oct. 31st!!! Isn't that a titch early?? Usually it doesn't start until Nov. 1st around here. But Halloween??? That a little ridiculous. But did I turn it off? No. I only allow myself to listen to it on my way to work, to help me get in a good mood. If I keep listening, I get way too burnt out on it by the time Christmas is actually here, and who wants to be grumpy at Christmas music?? Nobody.

I worked this weekend, and everyone brought in their kids' candy, and my diet the past 2 days has consisted solely on tootsie rolls, skittles, milk duds, and milky way midnights. On an unrelated note, I had the biggest tummyache all weekend. I don't know why...
