The Halloween Cupcake Test

You Are Compassionate

You have deep and genuine feelings. You are a very caring person. You're the type not to make a fuss. You're more likely to sit back and figure out how you can help. You're not looking for a lot of attention on Halloween. You're just happy to put a smile on someone else's face. You believe that Halloween is mostly for kids, and you want to make it as special for them as possible.

Quiz: What is Your Halloween Sugar Binge?

Your Halloween Sugar Binge is Candy

You don't need pumpkin flavored sweets or anything fancy. You're easily satisfied by Halloween candy. You're the type of person who takes their sugar straight - maybe with a dash of food coloring or chocolate. You don't really care for baked goods, especially on Halloween. You don't want your sugar weighed down with all that flour. You're the type to pick the candy off the cupcake, maybe lick the frosting, and be on your merry way!

Quiz: What Animal Should You Dress up As?

You Should Dress Up As a Butterfly

You are an interesting, somewhat detached person. You may be flighty, but people are attracted to your colorful ways. You dream big and fly high. As far as your life goes, the sky's the limit. You didn't always have such a charmed life. In fact, when you were a kid, you were a bit of an ugly duckling. You transformed and changed, even though it was difficult. You're hardly the same person anymore.

Trying on Outfits

...at the Spirit Store tonight.  I'm still deciding--something that has never been easy for me to do.  But I have it narrowed down a few ideas--stay tuned. I've been to the store several times since it opened in September.  But tonight was the first time I tried on anything.  I know I'll be back. And the girl working at the store said more stuff is ion back waiting to be stocked. So there might be more in the days to come.   I will decide on something soon.

I rarely go out to stores like this at night time, even on Saturdays which I generally have off from work.  But today was very hot and hot weather makes me rather sluggish.  I went to see "Gone Girl" today as I had planned, and I really loved it.  It was two-and-half-hours long and I came home feeling tired.  Once it got dark I felt less sluggish and more ready for some store browsing.  Yes, it can get very hot this time of the year where I live.  Still wondering what the weather will be like on the 31st.

Countdown to Halloween Opening Day

It's that time of year again.  Signs of Halloween have been in the air for the last month or two as stores began stocking the merchandise, but today is the first day of October.  I will be participating in the Countdown as I have been since 2009.  It's always fun.  I'm waiting to see what other participants come up with as well.


My town got a Spirit store this year. I was shocked when I first learned of this, as our town is not known to get things like popup retail, except the fireworks stands for the 4th of July (which are usually put on by local sports teams and nonprofit organizations).  So I was more than excited about Spirit coming. I have visited the shop several times since it opened, but still haven't made any purchase.  I have some costume ideas in mind but am still narrowing them down.  I noticed how the cheeseburger tunic is the same price at both Spirit and Kmart.  I've considered that one, but will probably decide against it.   I'm planning to decide soon.   The store incidentally took over  the town's old  Staples building as the office superstore exited our town at the end of June.

My decorations at home went up this weekend in order to be up for all of October.  Started on Saturday night, stuffing the pumpkin bags with crumpled newspaper and rigging the lights over the kitchen window with suction cups (I'll leave the cups in the window for the Christmas lights in December).

That's it for today.  Let the Countdown begin!
