Monster Mash
Took me awhile to get this blog out, but here it is.
I gotta say that kids get ripped off on Halloween. The holiday can only be truly appreciated by adults. Think about it. As a kid, your costume has to be mom approved and warm enough for trick-or-treating. And usually it's made out of something cheap and itchy.
"But what about all the candy?" One might say. Well that is just another scam. You pound the pavement for two hours knocking on strangers doors begging for candy. That's when you learn about all the weirdos in your neighborhood.
Either you get the way over enthused grown-ups who oooh and ahhh and have no idea what you costume is... or you get the loner old man (who may or may not be on the sexual predator list) whose house smells funny. And don't forget the empty honor system bowls and the fake scarecrows ready to pop out and scare you. Umm.. no thanks.
Because then after all that work and you get home to count your loot, your mom comes in and begs for some chocolate. Soon after she starts demanding all your good candy. You wisely hide the rest of your treats... only to find them again on Easter. ('k maybe that last bit only happened to me.)
The point is that kids get the shaft. For those of us currently childless, Halloween is a great party holiday. You get to dress up in sexy or socially taboo costumes, dance like crazy, and get drunk. Honestly I can't think of anything more fun than that.
And fun is exactly what I had this weekend. Gotta thank Tim and Traci for a kick-ass party. I started out not really knowing many people there, but had a blast the whole night.
What a night it was too. Full of Jello shots, kegs, fluffy chairs, drunken drama, and table dancing. Although I deeply regret the last. My knees still hurt from dancing on the pool table. Something about bare legs grinding into felt covered slate doesn't mix.
But it's all good. When I picked up my camera Sunday I realized I'd taken close to 80 pictures...Yikes. Anyway there really are too many to choose from, so I put up a sampling... enjoy!

Pictures look great. No party for me. Just walking in the rain for an hour to keep the kids happy. LOL
Yeah, but don't tell me you won't steal a few pieces of the kiddies' candy. That will make it worth it ^_^*
Looks like you had a ton of fun. Not me though. Got invited to a party but decided not to go because I wanted to avoid the very invitor. We had kids of colleagues come over at work. And I am the loner man albeit not very old. Last year I just put an open bag of candy outside my door and it was still full in the morning. Yeah, they dont even want my candy.
I'd think that one's feet get tired dancing. Tired knees are usually the result of another popular activity ;)
y-well my feet and legs are sore too. But it was table dancing ON my knees that has made them sore. In fact a few bruises popped up on them today.. talk about delayed reaction.
You look cute but I still can't believe that anyone knew what JR was supposed to be. That puzzles me. Perhaps I'll have to "borrow" your copy of the movie ;)
