Halloween 2011

Are you little monsters ready?

I've got my black-hooded, skull-faced demon hung by the chimney with care. Pumpkins are going for nearly 5 bux a piece so I may wait till later to buy some. My house sits on a corner and my 'kins tend to get ripped off.

I'll be wearing what I did last year.
Then sobbing because it should be looser and instead is tighter!

If'n I get my bestest wish though, I'll spend it with either Tiger or Tennant.
I'll be dropping hints...
Fingers crossed one or the other will be having a party or something that adults are welcome to!

It's such a miserable inversion of being a teenager, sitting at home waiting for the doorbell to ring!
Specially when the tykes are too young to scare properly without getting a visit from their Dad later on.

You know I hadn't thought of that.
I did Halloween walks when I lived in London, I just didn't associate them with here.

Cheers Monster - I'll keep an eye out.
