Halloween is around the corner - be afraid

Halloween



My favorite holiday is on it's way. I don't post much, really because I haven't much to say. But I can't let this get by. I'm so excited and (okay) I just can't hide it (oh no it the 70's disco crap).

We really do up our house. Actually our whole street does. I live in a neighborhood called Ravensway and my street is Nevermore. So we have to do Halloween with a bang. Christmas, eh, not so much.

So anyway, we hang electric, red eyed, flying bats. We dress up and the dogs too. I draw police chalk outlying dead bodies in our driveway and sidewalk. Grave stones everywhere and smoke coming out the garage. It's a blast and the kids love it. One neighbor hangs speakers from his house and sits across the street in a lawn chair with a mic and talks to the kids passing by from the speakers. They all think the house is haunted and last year on child kicked the garage trying to get it to shut up. It's all fun and games.

But the best part is we also get invited to this hugh, wonderful Halloween party that books an old club here in town on Washington Avenue that isn't open to the public anymore. Live music, open bar and everyone must come in costume. Some of the costumes are sooo good. The invites are keepers too. It comes in a black box with moss inside and the invite is unusual every year. The first year it was engraved on a tomb stone. I can hardly wait. My husband is going to go as the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I still don't know what I'll be. I want to have a sexy outfit, but I feel I'm just too old and weigh too much. I'll figure something out. If you all have any idea's let me know, I'd appreciate the help.
