Boo!
Wh-shhhhhhhhhhh.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Cl-chomp.
Respectively, my apartment’s source of heat, my bi-polar hard drive, and the strange equine sound coming from the construction site across the street. Together, the chorus of my day.
And though I hate them all, the first one signals fall and winter and all the goodies that come with. Like today, my second or third favorite day of the year. (Yeah, yeah, I’m obvious: Birthday, Christmas, Halloween.)
However, I have to say, this year I’m somewhat of a Halloween delinquent. I didn’t start the prep on my costume (or Eric’s) until last night, I didn’t buy any candy, and I barely have plans tonight. Not my usual apple-bobbing self, for sure.
But the one tradition I did manage to keep is making Halloween treats for friends and family. Finished last night, the peanut butter bars from Baked.
They’re no less delicious upside down, by the way.
Here’s Eric packaging them up. Nice and easy: parchment paper and Halloween Orange tape instead of string.
Costume photos to follow, of a somewhat haphazard geisha and a burly lumberjack (in place of the planned Lucy (of I Love) and Ghostbuster (with home-built pack; no other way to go)). Next year…
For now it’s time to go recycle the three-foot-tall stack of magazines trying to sell me Christmas crap already.
Wait! Before you go, be scared by Eric.
