i think just about any, and everyone, who went to a party this weekend in honor of the holiday felt like today was sort of an afterthought, but i got to give out candy to one lone trick-or-treater and so now i'm full of the holiday spirit! i guess i missed the other four or five kids that came by before i got home, but it made me happy to know my little pumpkin lured at least some kids to come on by for candy. i bought good candy too; not that cheap stuff you get when you trick-or-treat at the mall or the school. it was all m&m's, kit-kat's, snicker's and reese's peanut butter cups (as well as a few almond joys because i love those things).
speaking of candy, i totally carbo-laoded this halloween night! for dinner i had beer, goldfish crackers, and some candy. that's sort of balanced, right? sugar for the ups, alcohol for the downs, and candy for the sweet-sweet-goodness. that's totally balanced, and i dare you to argue otherwise.
i got a picture of tiernan looking crazy-cute in his bird costume, and i'm waiting on one of maggie in her bear costume. i do miss the kids on halloween, because as fun as it is for me, it's more fun with them. there't nothing like being reminded of the thrill of getting a whole candy bar in your sack, and thinking about how much fun it was to get dressed up (especially considering that 75% of the women's costumes i saw this year all the words "sexy," "naughty" or "skanky" involved in them, but that's a whole feminist rant i'll save for later). although being a grown-up means i get to have drinks on halloween and watch creepy television shows and movies tonights, and that's kind of nice too. reason number 45 while halloween is great for everyone: candy and beer!
happy halloween!
