I'll put the skull in the bushes on Friday

We've been very lax with our Halloween candy buying this year. By now we should have gone through a couple of bags of it. We just got the good stuff today. Oh well, it's probably for the best, weight-wise anway.

What's not for the best? Last year's Halloween candy still stuck to the cloth lining of the basket by the front door. We probably should have thrown it out BEFORE we had that 90 degree weather, but oh well. Hindsight is not so sticky.

So, the candy is out (every parent is going to hate us because we've got so much Super Bubble to give out). The costumes are coming together. I just need to make a few more minor adjustments to mine sometime this week.

What am I going to be?

Well, after coming up with, plotting, and finalizing a costume, I decided it was lame and went to brainstorming on something else. I finally came up with something that I liked and actually put it together yesterday.

What is it?

It's a surprise.

Because not knowing tortures Carrie.

And that pleases me.
