Stop me before I buy more!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Many of my Halloween decorations are old and worn out. Therefore, the last few years I’ve been buying new stuff and slowly throwing away the old, decrepit, and falling apart decorations.
I should have myself banned from Spirit Halloween. G and I went up there today to get HER costume. I should’ve left my money at home because I found another prop I loved. Yes, I bought it. Yes, she got her costume too.
What I went up for and intending to buy was fog machine cleaner and fog juice. I did get those.
However, I am the proverbial kid in a candy store. I also found something irresistible to any writer—fun pens. I now have a boxing vampire pen and two pens that look like blood filled syringes.
If I go to the store again, I may need an intervention…

She wouldn’t trade birthdays with me
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We invited our new neighbor R and her daughter to come over for the post Trick or Treat night dinner at my house. When I found out that R’s daughter (little D) had Halloween for her birthday, I offered to trade birthdays with her but she said no. Darn it.
Little D is now excited to be coming over to a party. Knowing that it is little D’s birthday, G, who normally makes the dessert, is going to make a Halloween themed birthday cake. We’ve been scouring the net for ideas. Maybe our trip to Spirit Halloween this Thursday will give us some more ideas or, at the very least, spooky cake decorations.
I’ve already wrapped a small gift for our special birthday guest. Gee, surprising little D is going make our Trick or Treat night party twice as much fun as it usually is.
I think I’m almost as excited as little D.
I was disappointed to find that there aren’t Halloween birthday cards, only plain old Halloween cards. I’m sure that little D isn’t the only person to have Halloween for their birthday.
