Mm, cake! Seriously, the little dessert  gwydion78's Thoreau made before we headed out to trick or treating was... a triumph! Huge success, seriously. So delicious and moist... He voiced concern that I might be getting a bit too hefty for my costume, but I told him that was what spandex was for! Gotta admit, I could have used an Apeture Science Unstationary Platform for resting once we finally did head out. I swear those houses are getting further apart...

And don't forget, if you have an idea for a costume you'd like to see me in, post it here or send me a note (one suggestion per person per day, please!). You can keep voting for the same costume, or vote for a different costume every day. If I pick your idea at random from the list, I'll invite you along to join me, but I'll get to pick -your- costume. ;) So join the fun, and let's get some candy! Just a few days left!
