Happy Boo!
So another Halloween has come and gone, and in the end, it has had the same result as every other Halloween. I really want babies. Then I can dress them up as killer Lacrosse players and princesses, with little baby converse shoes. And I hate maternal clocks.
I have also learned, along with Keila, that sitting on a front porch and handing out candy to little kids can be helped along with the fun factor by:
1. Lots of beer.
2. Making fun little games, like telling the kids to stand about five feet away and throwing the Halloween candy into their bags. Now I realize this sounds a little mean, but there were rules for safety:
a) If a child needs their mother to help them up the stairs to the porch, too young, no throwing candy at them.
b) If you miss the child gets an extra candy
c) If you do not miss the child gets an extra candy.
I think parents need to teach their kids better rules, for instance 'it is NOT okay for people to throw things at you for candy', but hey, I don't have babies (yet) so I guess what can I say (Brendan says I have to wait at least five years, suits me).
I have also learned that children are trying to grow up too fast. And that I am talented, I think that I am the only person I know to be hit on (Twice) handing out candy. Oh my...here's the story.
The first one doesn't count, the kid was like two (well Jr. High-ish age, but young) Anyway, I give him the candy and he's all "You know, I also take phone numbers" I wished at this point there were no abuse laws so I could have smacked him. The second one however was kind of cute.
There was this guy taking his little brother (or kid, but I don’t like to think that a guy with a kid was hitting on me, so little brother) trick or treating. And they came up to the door with signs, he holds up the first one and it says 'trick or treat', so I give him this quizzical look and he points at the bag, so I drop the candy in his 'brothers' bag. Then he hands me this envelope, and I open it and it says 'happy Halloween gorgeous', with le phone number. And he walks away, I must say very classy, very romantic. And if I was not completely in love with Brendan (even though he's on a damn cruise ship) I would be very into it, after all Halloween is the best holiday ever. So in conclusion I have a Halloween secret admirer, and a ego boost.
But other then that I have come to the rule if you are young enough to go trick or treating, you are not old enough to wear 'sexy' costumes, because its really just wrong.
All I'm saying, it was a good night, and I got to see Darien, who I think I may adopt as my son (he is Kiela's son), there was good friends, good beers, and good ego boosts, not to mention chocolate. All I'm saying HAPPY BOO!!
Also I have booked my tickets and I am officially in Calgary over Christmas and off to see Brendan on January 1st for a super lazy and probably drunken cruise, WHICH I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO! I am tired of cold weather already and it hasn't even snowed yet.
In other news...tomorrow is cello day! Brendan we are officially on our way to making that super cool cello/electric guitar album, which we did actually call something but I can't remember now.
Happy Halloween Everybody!
