The Halloween countdown begins

I love Halloween. I think because it gives me a valid excuse to eat candy without guilt. I have to, everyone else is doing it.


I bought a vampire costume a few years ago. You know, before vampires saturated our culture. I wore it to a Halloween party again last year. If we're dressing up this year I found an awesome new accompaniment to my costume, to give it a little something different. Thank you again, Martha! You can find this and other really cool mask ideas at Martha Stewart.

Here's an extra spooky-ish photo of me and David from last year. I was the queen vampire and David was my newly turned wild vampire pet. Yes, that is a leash I'm holding.
