It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year...

...And I'm not talking about Christmas, even though the Christmas season already appears to be in full swing. No, I'm talking about Halloween. I absolutely love it. If I could I would still go out trick or treating. Actually there's nothing stopping me, except society: I'm sure the norm would find it rather strange if a 28 year women was out, going door to door on Halloween night.

Maybe I will have to join my brother-in-law and his wife: they still go out, and are planning on trick or treating this year. So, if you live in Kits, beware of a 6'3" man dressed as a chicken...

As usual I have a plethora of Halloween parties to attend - I thought I could swing two this year, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. So Colin and I will be at the Legges' this Saturday night; they hosted a Halloween party two years, and it was awesome.

So why do I love Halloween so much, besides the copious amounts of candy? I love to dress up. It's probably why I used to love acting. Actually, I still love acting, but I haven't been on stage in ten years!

I love creating costumes, and becoming those characters. As my brother will tell you, I have no shortage of ideas for Halloween costumes, especially when it comes to him... Last weekend, within the span of 24 hours, I visited Value Village three times, and the Sally Ann once. By the end of the weekend, I ended up in Value Village four times.

This year, I am dressing up as a character from one of my favourite novels: the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. Colin is going as the Mad Hatter.

I can't wait till tomorrow!

In other news, I am still Polynesian dancing: last night we finished the Hawaiian segment and moved onto Tahitian. Holy crap is that a workout. Girls if you want to tone your mid-section try Tahitian dancing...
