Halloween

Honestly, I usually think about Halloween all year and then leave it to the last minute to actually put anything together. This year, I was determined to be a classic ghost and do the whole thing with holes cut in a sheet. I thought it would be pretty ridiculous and have been talking about it since February. Ironically, the logistics of pulling that off seemed like too much. 

Instead, I plan on dressing as a cactus. One day after work, I made my rounds to a thrift store, a crafting store, and a department store for the materials. I was able to find a homemade knit green sweater for $6 at the thrift store, pipe cleaners for $1 per pack at the crafting store, and some clip in flowers for my hair at the department store, which cost me nothing since I had a gift card. I put everything together later that night. 

I am pretty happy with the funds, planning, and ease that went into the costume and I still think it’s pretty funny. 

With Halloween comes A LOT of candy (surprise), especially at work. Candy eating is inevitable so I try to embrace it, but I only eat the good stuff - anything with peanut butter. 

It’s exciting to be a part of everything, candy, costume and all!
