So it’s the Friday before Hallowe’en. I gave my “at work” costume idea of ‘World’s Shortest Giraffe’ away to my lovely Manager, because it was just so much better for her (she stands about 5 feet nothing tall), so she’s wearing my foam giraffe mask, a bright yellow turtleneck, black pants with yellow stripes and my yellow scarf tucked in the back as a tail. So cute! <\/p>\n
I’m wearing a matching foam triceratops mask, my “Good with Computers” t-shirt with “NOT” pinned on above the logo, and I’m carrying around my cell phone and a palm pilot with question marks and “What’s this for??”. I’m supposed to be a ‘Corporate Dinosaur’ [bah dum boom – tch!] I think a few of the senior staff who always come to ask me for help with “fixing” their email and folder problems were giving me dirty looks. Sigh.<\/p>\n
Justin’s outfit is nearing completion for tomorrow, but I am having the most difficult time on Earth with his footwear. My man has large feet, size 11 1\/2, and I cannot find green boots to fit him for the life of me. Even my Mum has been helping out, on a rampage through every second hand shop in Oakville, to no avail.<\/p>\n
Still not sure what I’m going to wear to work\/party tomorrow. I know I want to attempt to squeeze my now oversize body into my big gothic burgundy dress, but it might be hard to maneuver behind the cash, and also — Carrie? Vampyre? Queen of Snails? Definition and accessories will be the death of me. Grr.<\/p>\n
Justin’s having Glenda over tonight while I go to Christie and Amy’s to carve their pumpkins, but I have to be home in time to finish some last minute stitching, spray painting, fabric dying and other sundry parts of Justin’s costume, so I may not make it out to the Foxes Den, much to my dismay. Not to mention the fact that I can’t drink or stay up past 11pm, since I have to be at work to open at 9am tomorrow morning, which means, what with the costuming and make-up and helping Justin into his outfit, and commuting downtown, I probably shouldn’t go to sleep at all tonight.<\/p>\n
