Halloween 2009

Dressing up for Halloween is really fun since everyone in the "office" participates--and this year was great. I had a wonderful costume that involved a big white sheet, white face paint, and a little baby ghostie. I safety pinned a baby ghostie to the belly of my ghost costume to let little Pat Shea join in the fun of Halloween with everyone else. It was pretty gross and creepy, which made it so fitting for all of us--it was the best thing I could do that didn't involve painting my naked belly (which I would NEVER do, because ew).





One nice thing is that, while my white sheet is getting dirtier and dirtier and making my pants so dirty all day, you have no idea how big my belly is.

Halloween is great, not just because we eat treats all day at work and watch Haunting episodes and have Halloween Power Hours all month, but it's also Crystal's birthday--Happy Birthday, Crystal!

And I am totally sugared out. I can't wait to go home and take a nap.

So, about Easter...

What a slacker I am turning out to be. I cannot believe I missed telling you about the best holiday (as far as tasty candy goes) of the year! Easter totally rocked this year. Michael did such a good job, choosing only the best, most delicious treats. Cadbury mini eggs, Hershey's Cadbury mini-egg-wannabes (which are really exceptionally delicious), three different chocolate bunnies, Reese's eggs, Rolos in Easter-colored wrappers, dark chocolate peanut M&Ms (needs a little work with this one), robin eggs (I can't seem to get enough of these delicious little things!), and Cadbury eggs in original, caramel, and orange crème flavors, all in a beautiful Easter basket with pink grass! I am still eating delicious Easter treats. This is, by far, the best Easter I can remember (as far as tasty treats go). I don't have to share them. I did, however, give Michael the obligatory marshmallow egg or whatever, because ew.

My candy stash is very well supplied now for weeks to come. It's wonderful. And I am so happy about it. Easter is truly the best holiday for candy.

I keep the basket in my bedroom and put it on the bed so I can eat treats while I read before bed. Not so good for my teeth, but so good for my tummy. The plus side to having treats in bed is that I am reading again. It's a really great book that Michael makes fun of every time he sees it because it's a cheesy novel by a cheesy mystery writer. But her editor is good--in the 70 pages I've read so far, I've only caught a few things I would change for grammatical correctness. Really well done. Some of the writing is super cheesy, but I just love it. It's a great story. I do love mysteries--whodunits. They are so great. And so is Easter candy. I especially love falling asleep with a book and a basket of candy that Michael has to clear off the bed so he can lie down. I don't know why I get so much joy out of that.
