Hurray! It's the weekend, our favorite time of the week! I'm sure most people won't argue with that.
Happy Halloween to everybody out there who partakes in the festivities. Hope you pulled out your scariest costumes, and some of you don't even need to dress up at all! :)
We used to get all dressed up and have a huge bowl of candy ready, but our area must not be very desirable because in the past few years, NOBODY stops by. Last year, we decided to no longer prepare anything since we only ended up eating our own candy stash for the next few weeks. Instead, we are going to hit the town with some friends, grab dinner, and probably see Paranormal Activity, or maybe we'll go off-script and check out Couples Retreat.
