In previous years, my work has held a costume contest and given out fabulous prizes. Two years ago, I dressed up as a devil and won 2nd place.



That prize was a $50 gift card to Buca Di Beppo. Yum! Last year, I was Elphaba, and I won first place.



That prize was a $75 gift card to Buca. Not bad, eh? Definitely worth dressing up. This year's prize is a trophy. WTF? That's kind of a sharp downgrade. And instead of a pizza or sub lunch like we usually have, we're having hot dogs. Huh?? Needless to say, I haven't put a lot of effort into making a costume last year. Still, it's not right for it to be Halloween and not dress up. I managed to find my silver fangs and my silver hair paint, so I'm going to be some sort of silver draped vamp I guess. Silver eye shadow & liner, silver jewelry, and silver curls in my hair. A black shirt, my black & red skirt, white face paint and blood red lips & nails should round everything out. Nothing special, but still something.

I am wearing my pirate garb tomorrow, sans corset (I have an ouchy lung infection). The prize is only a few bucks though, which is not as cool as a $50-75 gift card for Italian food! Hey, it's $5 I didn't have before. Heh.

At my school, if you don't dress up it's like Blasphemy. It's really fun, actually, and we have a scream contest during lunch and best costume, and everything. Very schnazzy.

I'm going as Peter pan, and trick-or-treating with one of the kids I babysit later on, and she's going to be Tinkerbell. Lol

Lol, exactly.

And I am all for being Peter Pan.

After briefly considering dressing as Cameron from House (because I could so do it), I am going to wear black and a cape and be the Scary Halloween Teacher tomorrow. I'm throwing a bit of a Halloween party for my kids, so I brought my cape from home and am going to wear it, along with all black. It'll be fun, as long as the kids aren't obnoxious. :)

I'm really excited. They wrote Halloween stories that are due tomorrow. I am going to have them sit in a circle and share and eat candy and do Halloween Madlibs. We're going to have a good time. :)

I'm gonna be the queen of hearts, my mama sewed some big hearts on my old prom dress and shipped it out to me. Maybe I'll beat Molly for that $5 gift card. My Harry Potter-O' Lantern should win me that contest, though. Course, I spent six dollars on the pumpkin to win five...

That doesn't matter. I usually spend tons of money on my costume - way more than I win in any contest.
