Happy Halloween!
I’ve always liked Halloween a lot, more so as an adult, since we really didn’t do a lot of trick-or-treating when I was little. I’ve gotten maniacal at times, carving elaborate pumpkins, and working up clever costumes. Some of my favorites include:<\/p>\n

Wearing a wig, bathrobe, slippers, and carrying a martini glass. When people asked what I was supposed to be, I shrieked, “I’M YOUR MOTHAH! YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN MOTHAH???” This costume came to be during the Great Halloween Blizzard in Minneapolis, since the weather hit with 36 inches of snow in a day & a half, and our shopping areas were rather limited. <\/p>\n

Wearing a brown corduroy jacket, looking prim & proper, carrying a small basket with a tea towel in it. Again, the response to what I was supposed to be? “I’m Martha Stewart, and I’m better than you.”<\/p>\n

All black, black feather boa, sign around my neck with “Nevermore” (and in tiny print, “You can quote me on that”.) That was when I first moved to Kansas City and was living in temporary housing without all my crafting supplies at hand. Hey, it was literary.<\/p>\n

Then, the best costume I’ve done – I’ve done it twice, in fact. I won a contest in Minneapolis with the first one, and I won a $500 contest here in KC with the second one. I threw the costume out when I left the last job, since I was going IN A HURRY, and I have the knowledge that yes, I can make it again & again & it’s always a winner. Even though I am loyal to Colgate, this brand works better:<\/p>\n

\"Mixed<\/a>
On the back, I did have the instructions, including “Squeeze from the bottom up”. Heh. I also think it’s a bit of a mixed message, to hand out candy while representing good oral hygiene. However, my dentist would be very proud.<\/p>\n

You only floss the teeth you want to keep! Remember that after you swipe all the good chocolate tonight! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
