Yourself question for this week: What was your favorite Halloween costume? For
the last few years or so my brother and sister in law have had these amazing (and
I mean amazing) Halloween parties. We, my husband and me, usually dress like a
couple. Don’t ask me why. Anyway, probably my favorite was when we went as
Gomez and Morticia Adams. We went all out- wig, make-up, everything. Sorry, I don’t
have a picture for that one.
What
is your favorite costume?
The small things I’m celebrating this week are not
really small. I approved the final copy of Bashan, so it’s all set to be
released on November 1st. Talk about a weight off. I hate deadlines.
I discovered a black walnut tree in our backyard
and spent almost all day yesterday scrubbing the hulls of those little babies.
It turns out they’re called black walnuts for a reason, because my hands look
like something out of a horror film. It’s kind of funny going to stores with my
hands like this. The cashiers look at me like I have the plague.
And my husband's aunt Passed away last night. She will be missed.
Melanie, I'm sorry! Prayers for your family.
ReplyDeleteWith hands like that, you and your husband need to go as zombies.
Sending prayers you way for your late husbands Aunt.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome idea for Halloween costumes!
That hand looks horrible! Yes, it looks like the plague!!
November first, wahoo! That's right around the corner. Love the hand picture--and all you need to do is add a little odd eye makeup and a face scar or two to your face, and you'll really have the cashiers freaked out. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing Bashan, that's great! That is a fairly creepy picture!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your aunt. I prayer that she is now at peace in Heaven, and completely healed.
ReplyDeleteYay on your new release! Wow, that is stained. My condolences to your husband and his family.
ReplyDeleteEw. Your hands look like you are ready for Halloween. Walking Dead costume. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
Sorry to hear about your husband's aunt. My condolences to your family.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing Bashan!
Sorry to hear about your loss.
ReplyDeleteCondolences on your husband's aunt. Black walnuts? Never heard of that. Your hand does look freaky though.
ReplyDeleteHey, you could do zombies this year. Those hands would fit in well.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteYour hands, however, are amusing...
No matter what kind of fancy dress type party there is, my hubby always dresses as a cow. We went to a 60's party once and he was there as a cow. A 'P' party? A cow. At least he fit in at the Black and White party. He's so adorable.
Whoa! I saw that picture and then read the line about your husbands aunt passing, and the two connected in my mind, and it was kind of like a horror thing in my mind!
ReplyDeleteBut cool that you get walnuts! Why do you have to scrub them so much?
Thank you so much for the photo of walnut stain. It was such a feature of fairy stories that I always wondered how dark it was. Now I know! And yes, if you rubbed the blonde baby princess with walnut juice, no wonder her royal parents wouldn't accept her back.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the loss in your family.
