What Happened To My Halloween Mojo?

It’s more than half way through October. Normally, I’d be deep into a Halloween project, working like mad to get it done in time for either a party or trick-or-treat night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not this year.

Halloween Is Upon Us

Thing1 clowning around with Jack Skellington last year.

Yes, goblins and vamps, Halloween is here again. Since it’s my favorite time of the year, what better way to celebrate than with a party?

2012 Yard Haunt

We skipped the party this year but we did the yard haunt.

I just wish the weather would cooperate. It was cold and snowed – yes, SNOWED – though, happily, it didn’t stick.

Priorities and Marching Band and Halloween, Oh My!

It’s my usual dilemma: Too much to do and not enough time, energy, or financial resources to do it all. Like everybody these days, it’s a constant struggle to balance a busy life. I can’t do it all, despite what all those people say about multi-tasking.

When I multi-task, I just get a bunch of things done half-assed.

Then my perfectionism rears its ugly head.

Then I explode.

Then I have to apologize. (And I hate to apologize.)

Calling All Creatures, Part Deux

Last night, Halloween, was cold, cold, cold – we even had snow! However, the show must go on and so did our Yard Haunt 2010.

Calling All Creatures of the Night

After a month of planning, decorating, and stashing of unsightly, everyday stuff, I bring you, as promised, photos of:

Beginning of the Party Season

Really, it’s truly amazing I’m getting any writing accomplished at all, because beginning next weekend, our fall party season begins!
