So I didn’t make the 31 days of yoga in October, though I did get 2/3 of the way there with 20 days. But never one to let a challenge get the better of my common sense, I have decided to give the NaBloPoMo
gig another try. Last year I lost out on a technicality, I started a post the night before and finished it the next day but it was dated from the previous day. That happened on about the fourth or fifth day and I didn’t even know it until December. I diligently posted every day of the month thinking I was going the distance when I had actually been kicked out on the fifth day. Oh well, ignorance truly is bliss in my world. Here’s to trying!

Last night Loren hung out with some friends for the evening. They thugged themselves from door to door, their costumes consisting mainly of sunglasses. I told him I would have kicked their sorry asses off of my doorstep had a handfull of teens shown up at my house dresses so lame assed. Other people didn’t feel the same from the apperances of his candy haul. Cass faired quite well in her pirate get up. She went with a couple of friends and felt entirely grown up about the whole affair. Matt and I took Devon to six houses, an effort that took us over an hour. Devon had to stop and check out every.single. detail. On every. single. porch. Gotta hand it to the kid for his attention span. Upon returning home he ate two pieces of candy, removed his dragon suit and announced, “I not a dragon anymore. I tired. No more trick-or-treating. Halloween done.” Works for me.

Good luck with NaBloPoMo!
I handed candy out to teenagers without costumes, but I also gave them a lot of shit about it. ‘Where’s your costume?’ I’d ask when they stuck their bags out. ‘Come back with a costume next year!’ I’d yell as they left. They probably could care less, but I felt better for having shamed them (or tried my best).
We didn’t get many teens, but more than a few tweens. Most of them at least attempted costumes.
HEY! Today is the 2nd! Where is your next post?
