First, I snuck away to my kids' school for a Halloween dance party and turned my phone off I danced the Macarena, the YMCA (yes, I danced to the Village People -- shame on me) and the Monster Mash. I was the only parent NOT sitting in a corner and my kids and their friends were yelling for me to come and dance more. It was very cool.Then I went to some awards ceremony... very ceremonial. Until I started teasing a few of our elected officials and local muckety-mucks mercilessly. But David Oh really does look like a waiter and, can I help it if I want to go Trick or Treating? Geeze, you'd think the Mayor didn't want me over at his place or something. The rest of Council is reserving a special bowl of candy for me and my kids on Halloween night, or so they say, anyway.
But now it's time to publish this entry and stop avoiding the last two stories I have to write today so I can get my younger daughter to the dentist tomorrow before buying the last of the groceries for the ritual, finishing up the house and doing what advance prep cooking I can AND making my robes AND writing/memorizing my lines... I need to sleep.
Being bad was fun for a little while.
