The Thing That Goes Doink

Ganked from earthstar_moon

In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my friend list, etc. etc.). The more "houses" to visit the more fun it'll be, so go ahead, open your journal and help spread the fun!

In the spirit of Halloween, I've decided to host an online "party" and thanks to this lovely generator, this is what everyone on my F-list will be going as. And keep in mind that this is randomly generated so I have no control over what people get dressed up as.

So I need to do some personal touch up work before the wedding tomorrow. Unfuzz legs, tweeze the eyebrows, make sure that my hair has something nice in it - you know, make myself presentable for a wedding. Because even though the bride said that I could wear whatever, I'm old school and firmly believe that one dresses up when going to church or to a wedding. And while I'm planning on wearing a black taffeta dress, the purple bolero jacket that I'll also be wearing makes it a little more casual.  Though I may hit up the silk flowers at Wally World this afternoon and see if I can find a nice purple flower to pin to the hip of the dress and make it a little more fun as well.  I also have to pick shoes - and coming from someone who has at least three different pairs of black heels, this is going to take much hemming and hawing and asking people, "What do you think?  This shoe or this shoe?"

I'm also starting to feel better, though for some reason I feel much warmer than usual.  And because I'm usually someone who's freezing even in the middle of the summer, I feel like I should be concerned, even if I'm not running a fever.  Sadly, I've reached that point in the cold where I can feel the mucous in my lungs, so sometimes I feel (and sound) like death walking.  If I could be sick over Halloween, I'd seriously consider being a zombie.  Maybe a zombie bride's maid or the Corpse Bride.  Could be fun.  Anyway, I'm glad to be finally kicking this stupid cold, though I have this niggling feeling in the back of my mind that it'll hang around for another week or so.  

All and all, things are pretty quiet around here.  I'm starting in on my gift for the birthday party, and hopefully it will be done by this evening - granted I actually feel up to assembling it.  I also have to figure out what we're doing for dinner next week.  To the cookbooks!!
