honey bunches of oats

happy belated halloween everyone!

i hope you are all are well and have survived the night of candy receiving and giving and baseball playing. did anyone dress up? i know joy did--i'd love to see pictures! on friday night i was the swine flu. i didn't realize that my costume could have looked EXTREMELY scandalous. here's what happened i was wearing about 4 layers of tights and leggings but the ones that you could see were cream, pink and blue. i cut holes in the tights to make it look like i was a disease. the problem: the holes in the tights left you looking at massive cream colored holes in my tights. translation: it looked like skin!!! it looked like you could see my legs through big holes in several pairs of tights! i went to a party and it wasn't until a few people around me got drunk that anyone bothered to tell me that it looked like wasn't wearing very much!!! lovely. i hope that people just assumed that i was decent human being and that i wasn't naked very far from it--i was sweating in all the layers i was wearing!

anyways, that was my little halloween mishap. the next night, which was actually halloween i dressed up all cozy as a lion and gave out candy to all the little soggy wet ghosts and princesses. my mom made slimey rickies which had frozen grapes in them and looked all slimy because of the lime pulp but they were delicious! she also made 'spider webs' out of cheese that were yummy too :)

i hope that if you dressed up, your costumes were a little less of a shamble than mine!

love you all
