Happy Halloween

I love Halloween. If i were living in the US right now I would be busy getting my last minute slutty outfit(s) ready for one of several Halloween parties going on this weekend. I had a costume closet when I lived in Hawaii that was downsized to a costume box here during the move, but I still dont have any excuse to open it since we dont have Halloween here. I thought about getting dressed up anyway, but then I saw someone at the grocery store dressed up in purple carrying a witch's hat, and noone (except me) knew whether or not this was her normal attire. People were sort of staring and asking each other what she was doing. I dont want to be the crazy lady who wears costumes to Costco. I did make a run to CVS when I was in Houston last weekend to stock up on Halloween candy. No, we wont have trick-or-treaters which means all the snickers and twix will get eaten by Chris and me, and I will probably go into next week's race 10lbs fatter than I am now.
So since we are only celebrating by eating candy and getting fat and not by dressing up, I decided to post some photos of past halloweens in memory of what is my second favorite holiday. Oh Halloween how I miss you.

Bono and The Edge. We went to see the concert the night before so these were last minute costumes.


There was the year Nola was Yoda. I think this was her first Halloween and she probably is not happy that her new mommy likes to dress her up and make fun of her.


There was the slutty angels costumes. You cant really tell how slutty they were in this photo.


There was the year Nola was Yoda for the second time. Yes she has obviously outgrown the costume and was not happy that I dressed her up, laughed at her and took her photo for the world to see.


And who can forget the pumpkins. This was one my friend and I did at work - cannibal pumpkin. we didnt win the contest.


Lance and Sheryl (pre break-up)


I couldnt find photos of my absolute favorite costumes when I went as Anthony Kiedis, tattoos and all, or Britney Spears in her KFed days (I had a KFed too). If they ever turn up I will post. Because I like post drunk halloween humiliation to haunt me - even years later. And even when I am humiliating myself.
