Overslept this morning, which always puts me in a bad mood, but the good weather made up for it. I just wish the weekend would get here a little faster.

Our Halloween this year will be fairly low-key, I think, which is fine. I have some plans on Saturday, but on Monday we may stay in and watch horror movies hand out candy to the kiddies - something I never got to do when I lived with my parents, because our house was so out of the way. I’m sure I’ll also carve a few pumpkins, because I always do.

I think I actually enjoy all the build up to Halloween more than the day itself, which is probably the case for most people and most holidays - it makes me happy just seeing orange and black and ghosts and bats everywhere. I don’t care all that much where I end up doing my drinking on the 31st. One of these years, though, Chris and I are going to have to have another Halloween party, especially now that our neighborhood isn’t the scariest feature of the night, and we have access to a courtyard that would be perfect for pumpkin carving. There’s also the roof. Maybe I’ll start planning for next year right now.
