Once a Halloweenie, always a Halloweenie

Who likes Halloween more than I do?



Nobody, that's who!



This year's costume was a bit of a logistical challenge, for obvious reasons. At right, you'll find my full-day-at-work-and-then-a-party-that-night costume. Not offensive, not ill-fitting...



However, there was no way that I couldn't share my Parade of Ill-Advised Halloween Costumes with you.



Hope you appreciate the selection of costumes that I considered... sensitive readers, please be warned that you may not like what you see. I apologize in advance for offending anyone's sensibilities.







Sport Barbie: briefly considered.

Hmmm... it's fine from the back...




















Whoa! Maybe a little more time should be spent on your abs, sister.






















How about a Renegades Cheerleader? It fit last year....
Nope, still seems wrong, somehow. Go team?



















The Olivia Newton John Let's Get Physical costume is a flashback to the early 80s, and also my first year at CNA (2002?), when I was the only one in costume, of 85 people! This look just wasn't working this year... but wow, lycra sure can stretch!













I admit that there was one more. For a work luncheon on Wednesday, I decided to just go with it, and hope that others' senses of humour would keep me from being lynched.


Possible captions include The Smoking Nun and Bad Habits. Now, usually, I publicly humiliate for a whole lot less... ok, free... (see above), but I won $50 for Best Costume!


I had really tried to do proper recon ahead of time to make sure that there were no "secret nuns" working at the base, and I was assured there were not. Unfortunately, the first person I saw was the padre.
Whoops.


We handed out candy to 14 kids last night. Ordinarily, I'd be disappointed by such a low turnout, but then, I take a moment to reflect on how much candy we have left... Aaaah.


Hope everyone else had a wonderful Halloween!

Ok, I am LOVING the renegades one. We should make it mandatory for all the girls to take this same pic when they are pregnant and then get Scott to superimpose them together. We could make a calendar with all our previous photos and entitle it, That was then, this is now. I think we'd sell tons...don't you????

HAAAAAAAAAAA!
