I like Halloween.  At least, I like the escapism aspect of being somebody else for the day.  Not really into the gory and scary themes.  This is what I dressed as for work today.

In case you’re wondering, I’m a tourist.  Yes, that is a funny expression on my face.  I was in the middle of asking, “Do I have to be in the picture by myself?” when she clicked.  The next picture she took I had a cowboy accompany me.

And yes, I know it’s a boring costume.  There are two reasons for that.

One, I spend almost nine hours a day at work.  Nine hours is a long time to sit with an uncomfortable costume on.  So, I opted for the most comfortable costume I could think of.  After the initial picture taking was finished, I worked all day in a t-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes.  I think the word you’re looking for is GENIUS!

Two, every Halloween I have this tiny little fear that I’ll be the only one dressed up.  Kind of like what happened to Pam in The Office.  That thought alone is enough to keep my efforts pretty minimal.

It’s now time to start handing out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters.  My goal is to get rid of all my candy.  So, come on over!
