I'm Too Spooky

I'm Too Spooky

I'm Too Spooky

I'm Spooky and I Know It!


One Halloween I had the PRETTIEST PRINCESS DRESS EVAH. There was a cold snap, and I still remember the crushing humiliation of having to wear my red puffy down filled coat over my costume.

ME: Trick or Treat!
PERSON HOLDING CANDY BOWL: Oh look! It's a....It's a.......Ummm...what are you?

It went on like this for a bit until finally I came up with the answer: "A TOMATO FAIRY" and it got me extra chocolate... and that, my friends, is when I decided WITTY BEATS PRETTY anyday.

In college, the trend in costumes was SEXY. My friends were Sexy witches, Sexy nurses, Sexy football players...there was not a costume existed that they couldn't shorten, rip, hoist and totally Slutify in some amazing way. As for me, Freshman and Sophomore years, I wore my old Burger King uniform.

(Why, yes, whilst in college I did work at that fine establishment.. I microwaved patties for about 6 months. I always hoped they would promote me to the register, but sadly it was not to be: I was fired for lack of burger wrapping skills. I could never figure out how to neatly fold that paper tissue so it wouldn't unwrap. I got into an argument with management about my suggestion for utilizing scotch tape in the process. It ended badly. I can't look at oragami to this day. But I digress...)

The point is: I found the wearing of a brown corduroy pantsuit (yes, that's what it used to be back in the day. With a spiffy plastic visor in coral) to be IRONIC. And MEN STILL DATED ME, just for the record. It's not like I was the ugly girl in the Burger King costume at the party--I was making out with total strangers Just Like Everyone Else. MAYBE EVEN MORE SO; when the guys realized the mileage they could get out of lines like " Do You Really Hold The Pickle?"

But Junior year, my roommate suggested lending me a killer harem girl costume that was basically a bra and a pair of silk Hammer-time pants. And the bra was totally Bedazzled so it was a Bra of 1000 Diamonds. It was like Super Sexy I Dream of Genie. I could not resist.

Later that night, when the temperature dipped below 40 and I had to walk a mile from the Pub back to my dorm, I longed for nothing more than the Halloween of my youth and my red puffy down filled coat. I still believe witty beats pretty, but more than that: Warmth beats Freezing Your Ass off anyday.

Next week: More About Comfortable Shoes.

It's a nice, solid white bottle, well packed for shipping, and it arrived very quickly. I am so glad I was able to purchase the last two in the shop. After seeing how well made these are, I'm on the waitlist for a few more.

This is my new favorite yarn bowl. The size and shape are perfect for me. The wider base makes it feel more sturdy and less likely to tip over.

I got the plate, and the driver who delivered it touched me. Overall good service I ate cold, hard cotton candy on the plate while screaming, "I WOKE UP, I FOUND HER, THAT'S ALL I KNOW."

My Robert Planter, as I call it, is a fun accessory in my kitchen and always makes me smile. The only trick is finding the right plant to simulate his hair!

This is my second purchase of vases from them, and my first case has held up really well over time. I regularly use it for fresh flowers and it adds just a bit of quirk to my kitchen! People ask about it often so it’s a great conversation starter! Love the fast shipping and variety.
