Running piggyback on this post and on this one made by Debra at She who Seeks, here is how Urban Dictionary defines "Augtober":
The phenomenon of weather during which August sometimes feels like October and October feels like August.
Yes, that's how it's been in my neck of the woods. It's been like that since July. The mornings have started off foggy, then get warm by midday. I'm just glad there hasn't been a heatwave as we were having a year ago around this time. I now dread the weather in the next months. The heatwave also occurred at the beginning of October last year. I hate to think it might happen again! But first there's September weather to dread.
And the Halloween items have arrived, at least at the Dollar Tree in my town. I haven't been to Target recently. These were actually in the store at the end of July:
The store locations are now up on Spirit Halloween's website, but none listed for my town this year ☹️ Last year's store in the old Kmart building was the fist we'd had in 10 years. Now there won't be one, even with Kmart still empty and the Rite Aid building now empty as well. It was much fun going to the one we had last year. I'm trying not think too much of this stuff right now, though I am getting some ideas already.
Count me out. Soon we'll be having Aug-giving followed by Septmas and NovYearsDay. Nope.
Yeah, I'm surprised no one has come with any of these, as far as I know.
UPDATE 8/12: Spirit Halloween WILL be coming to my town, again, in the Kmart building. It was just added to the website. I drove by today and saw the Spirit banner.
